War of the not so logical events

Rating: 6/10 (16 August 2005)

when i first heard that war of the worlds is being filmed and above all that Steven Spielberg,the man who gave us such movies as "E.T" and of course "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" is going to direct it ! i was watching the movie and the first question that came up to my head was "why ?",and i don't mean,why did the aliens come to earth;but why,after i was under the impression that the EMP strike of the Aliens killed all electrical power around it for miles,i saw a man taking pictures with what looked like a good new camera,and them i saw another guy with a digital video cam taking snap shots at the Tri-Walker,should i go on ? from the fact that they didn't have to stop for one moment cause of a block in the road,or that in the whole movie you could see only three people who are not police or army that have guns (and this is America we are talking about here !). a lot of things didn't make sense,and it takes more than a lot of (very nice) visual effects to distract a movie buff as myself from.
over all,i gave this movie a Passing score of 6,sorry,but i really wanted this movie to be more than just another flashy war/judgment day/Si-Fi movie,but that's what it was...Too Bad !
