Nice Idea Ruined By Hollywood

Rating: Null/10 (28 July 2005)

So this is the film i waited all year for since i saw the amazing trailer. Did it disappoint? Sadly yes. Don't get me wrong i loved the idea and the effects but the storyline weared thin. First of all to make the audience believe that aliens planted tripods underground and human technology would not pick them up is insulting, thats why this film worked so well in the 50's not in 2005. As the film races on it just seems to be Tom Cruise surviving situation after situation whilst others die (damm Hollywood) all in all an entertaining hour and a half but not DVD maaterial or anything really to shout about. The film promised so much and delivered so little.
