In order to say one in front: the effects are not bad. But a film should consist of effects? Only from effects? I mean: no. Particularly since of the Story and the statement of the book by H. G. Wells remained not much remaining. I anyhow had the whole time over the feeling, play mountain wanted a family drama to actually turn and for it for a background history looked. The differences to the book: - scene are the USA, not England - time is the present, not 19. Jharhundert - the Aliens was already on earth (in the soil) and not only approached came. - history is told not by the philosopher and writer, but acts of the ollen throwing worker and its missratenen Kids. The tension, which develops the book, is not able to create the film. Rather the constant shouting that, outstanding playing, nerved Dakota Fenning. The figure of the Robbie Ferrier, son of the anti-hero, is pale and brings one to wish itself that nevertheless finally the Aliens comes and it overkilling. At the end, which would have, meets that thought the family, which was only separated, intact again. If dad and daughter would have had still another dog thereby, at the end one would have also still saved... One of the best scenes of the book, in which the Protagonist as well as erring hides itself over very long time (!) in a cellar, becomes in the film very rapidly concerning and ELT and ends likewise differently than in the book. - safe: if a scene anything to the Story does not contribute must one for the other medium calculation carry. One 1:1 does not film, but I ask myself, why one by force always which other one produce must. The film would have just as well "Independence Day 2" or "Papi alone against E.T." read can. The logic film... safe, each film has so its Macken and its errors, but this film strotzt only in such a way before logic errors. Simply and moving too little is told, so that the spectator remains in the dark, which the reasons for or other procedure or the individual events are actually. One marks the short production time clearly to the film. Oh, still another scene is really characteristically the family flees and the small fanning asks: "Papi, are that terrorists?" Man, man, man... This film can one really save! Not already for boycott reasons of the Scientology sect because of. Separate simply only, because it is badly made film.
