Anti-Climax? What's That All About?

Rating: 9/10 (1 July 2005)

I saw this at an advance screening yesterday and whilst not expecting much (I never really liked the book, as well as the obvious Hollywood changes) I have to say that this movie blew me away.
In particular, the scenes of tension were spectacular, and really had me on the edge of my seat, after which the explosions of action would really work well, and not seem merely "put there for show".
As to the idea of the ending as an anti-climax, I can see why people would see it like this, but this was the genius of H. G. Wells. If the film had changed the ending, there would have been an outcry, as this would be ruining the image of one of the most well-known books of our time. Anti-climax? No way.
