Good film by Steven Spielberg. Excellent cinematography.

Rating: 8/10 (12 February 2007)

Steven Spielberg made a remake of the old film "War Of The Worlds". I've never seen that old film, and I've never read the book, so I can't compare. But I thought this was a good film. The acting was good, the whole cast did a very good job. You could identify yourself with the characters. Of course the cinematography and special effects were amazing! There are some excellent and memorable scenes in it. This is not the same kind of movie as for example "Independance Day" by Roland Emmerich. "War Of The Worlds" is much more intelligent than "Independance Day". All in all, "War Of The Worlds" doesn't only focus on the aliens and the Tripods, but also on the disorder of civilization, when a great disaster occurs. That is shown very well! Only one thing I still want to say, I thought this film was a little bit too short. If it would have taken a little bit longer, it would have been even better!
