a solid movie

Rating: 7/10 (11 July 2005)

this movie was a solid movie. The theatrics were good, the cgi was great, what really brought this movie down was the abrupt ending and the lacking acting. The movie had it scenes of comic violence, when cruise gets pulled into the alien tripod, but the other pull him back out, trembling, he shows the pins from activated grenades now in the walker to the Sarge in the group, or when cruise kills the truck driver, and tells his daughter to hum a lullaby to keep her from hearing the violence all in all solid, not Spielberg's best, not his worst, although i condemn him for going back on his promise to never show evil aliens on his movie
