Spielberg sticks to characters and not special effects!!!!

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2005)

Any one who may think going to this movie might be expecting a big explosve epic with stunning effects and many character sub plots (a.k.a. INDEPENDENCE DAY} will be disappointed...
Unlike the mini epic INDEPENDENCE DAY was, Spielberg sticks to only a few characters, a father and his two children, whom are on the run from aliens who are wiping out the human race... Simply a character film, Spielberg does a pretty good job making a movie about people and not so much over the top visial effect as most expensive Hollywood movies made these days...
War of the worlds is enjoyable ride Spielberg style but not exactly the kind of war you might expect...
