A Medicocre Retelling of an 1898 classic Novel.

Rating: 5/10 (26 March 2006)

H.G. Wells classic Science Fiction Novel, War of The Worlds was written in 1898. Well's descriptions of alien weaponry has an eerie comparison to nuclear energy. The world that was attacking was the future of the Human Race. If anything, the Tripods in Spielberg's spin off, represent Globalization from Tomorrow.
Spielberg's War of The Worlds begins on a sunny morning. Then all hell breaks lose. The special effect imagery of the approaching aliens is eagerly felt with the dark menacing clouds and huge bolts of lightening. It feels like it is going to be a fun ride...
It's not. The film hits a sensibility speed bump and goes out of control never finding a place to rest. It is a wonder how it got passed the screening room.
