War of the Worlds is THE Alien Invasion Movie...

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2006)

Steven Spielberg creates yet another memorable film about the classic alien invasion story by H.G. Wells. The film is about a man and his two children and their struggle to survive a deadly army of killer tripods that are exterminating everything in their paths. Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning give great performances. The movie is captivating from the beginning until the end. The movie has terrific special effects thanks to the brilliant minds at ILM (Industrial Light & Magic). The movie is suspenseful and scary at some parts. One thing I want to say about the ending is that it is brilliant. The people I have heard who talk about how the movie was good but the ending was terrible are so narrow minded. The problem is is that we live in a generation where movies have to be all out at the end and we need big explosions and killing at the end of movies in order for them to be good. The ending to War of the Worlds is brilliant because the aliens were destroyed by the one thing that we as humans take for granted, bacteria. It's amazing because with all the weapons we have for today's technology, the invaders could not be stopped with them. The ending was terrific! War of the Worlds just goes to prove the mastery of Steven Spielberg. A great addition to the Sci-Fi movie genre.
