that was a cool movie, but the ending sucked, it should have shown something like 5 years after the attack, and the world rebuilding itself, or the people rebuilding it..... and it should have shown something like Tom Cruise getting a girlfriend

I suppose you could just read the book. The movie started off in wha tsounded like an interesting way, but I just think the ending was a little weird, if not dull. Maybe not the best adaptation...
I think I heard something about yet another film that's going to be filmed here. Not sure of details.
