Excellent

Rating: 9/10 (20 April 2006)

This film has great special effects. People say Tom Cruise is bad in this, but I disagree. The film starts out with Ray who is a dad who just got divorced. For the weekend he has to take care of his kids, but it becomes a living hell when tripods attack.
Tom Cruise is great as Ray, Tim Robbins is good as Ogilvy, Miranda Otto does not have much to do as the mom and Dakota Fanning is an annoying know-it-all as the 10 year old daughter.
The special effects are great. The first scene where the tripods attack is awesome. The death scenes are cool, they blow up into dust. The boat scene was cool, too.
