   I remember something that made me thing the water harvesters were stupid,   
   but that fact is that LIQUID H2O is very rare in our solar system (and   
   probably in most systems), and the fact that we have so much could be   
   meaningful to those aliens.   
      
   I did enjoy the movie.  Pretty good, and Cruise was not mis-cast.
