another Spielberg fantasy

Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2005)

War of the Worlds is a modern retelling of the novel written by H.G. Wells. In this remake, a family faces alien attacks and finds a way to survive this huge mess.
I enjoyed all the action, explosions, and the actors. Tom Cruise did an outstanding job with his role as a divorced man, Ray Ferrier. Dakota Fanning, gee, a child like her can sure act! Justin Chatwin-great new appearance from him. Both Justin and Dakota play Ray's children and together, all three of them find a way to survive the alien attacks. Finally, Tim Robbins, he did a great job portraying a frightened psycho.
Overall, I enjoyed the whole movie. This sci-fi fantasy is not for everyone, especially for people who don't like sci-fi and fantasies. A 8 out of 10 and a solid B won't hurt a bit.
