fantastic film

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2005)

Awesome, fantastic effects and shocking in places. For all those people who say that Spielberg borrowed from films such as abyss, Jurassic park etc think about this. War of the Worlds is the grand daddy of all science fiction, every science fiction story every told has some elements of war of the worlds in it. By keeping in with the HG Wells storyline people are going to make these abserd asuptions. Cruise was fantastic in it. If you are a good actor you have to be believable in a role. This is the case with cruise being (de-cruised) in this movie being an average guy who is trying to save himself and his family from becoming a martian snack.
This is probably the best film I have ever seen and I recommend it to everyone.
