Frightining Effects

Rating: 8/10 (5 July 2005)

CONTAIN SPOILERS: This was a great movie, I don't remember the old movie well, but I think this contained much the same material. The tripods were much like a strider in PC game "Half Life 2" with Dr. Octavius tentacles. The mostly I liked sound-effects. The tripod noises were very disturbing, even frightening. And the "lighting-storm" (at the beginning of film)was giving the creeps. I gave 8 points Spielberg for this movie.
And at the end, I've heard that War of the Worlds was compared to Independence Day, I would keep them separated... because they are quite different (even special effects) many ways.
