I saw this movie with my son and we were both bored to tears. At one level the movie can be viewed as a metaphor for the USA post 9/11 with the William Hurt character as The President scaring people with 'the aliens' beyond our borders and the safe color business. The only good thing about this movie was Bryce Howard who almost single handedly saved the movie.

Give me a break. Even if William Hurt is supposed to be the President, it's a pretty sympathetic portrayal (i.e. well-intentioned idealist is not really what the left thinks of Bush), not that I buy this over-analytical nonsense.
