War of the Worlds: A Roller-coaster of Special Effects

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2005)

War of The Worlds is one film that sets itself apart from most alian invasion flicks. This one has dazzling effects and memorable scenes. The CGI is the best I have seen since Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. If you have seen that movie you would get an idea of what I am talking about.
This film has good acting too. I actually thought Tom Cruise did a good job. The person who played the brother did a good job as well. The actor who played the little girl, well her job was to look innocent and scream.
The movie had nothing to do with the book. There weren't even any of the characters of the book in Spielberg's movie.This movie though, wasn't a movie made to just put the book on screen, it was a movie made to capture the same fear that was in the book and put it in modern times with modern characters.
This movie was rated PG-13 for vilonce only. Their was rude of sexual conent in this movie though
