War Of the Worlds... Can definitely call it W.O.W!

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2005)

I don't like movies that scare me, this one terrified me but I loved it. I am no longer a major Tom Cruise fan but I think he did a fine job in his role. The sound was incredible, the special effects were all too realistic and the suspense was as good as it gets for me. My poor daughter probably has a sore arm from me hanging on to her throughout the movie. I will definitely buy the movie when it comes out but the DVD will be a poor substitute for seeing it on the big screen. I am glad it ended the way it did, kind of reminiscent of the original. I think S.S. has another major hit to add to his impressive resume with this film.
This movie was so suspenseful for me I feel emotionally drained after seeing it. I will have to take a short nap to recharge my batteries so I can meet with a client this evening. I have never had a movie do that before.
