One of those "lifetime" film experiences

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2005)

I took my family to see WotW today and we all agreed it was one of the most amazing, astounding, intense, and frightening movies we'd ever seen. The film conveys better than any other what it would be like to actually experience an alien invasion. There are few heroics of any kind, mostly just fear, mayhem, and inhumanity. Of course, it's choppy and rough edged at times and not all the "solutions" are smooth. But that was part of its charm and power for me. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys the alien attack genre or anyone who just wants an extremely heart pounding experience. My nearly 11 year old daughter was fairly terrified, but held up well overall and wants to see it again. It's the kind of film you will talk about all the way home from the theater and want to call your friends about when you get home.
