Low intelligent movie

Rating: 6/10 (3 July 2005)

The first impression when I watched the teaser was quite positive I should say. It was attractive enough, unlike the real movie though. There are several stupid scenes where I felt I have been bullied by Stevie. For instance, the scene where the lightning strikes 26 times producing a massive electromagnetic wave which results on the defects of all the electronic devices even on Tom's watch. The most stupid thing is it also shows a man is recording the moment by his video-cam within that period of time.
I probably overestimated War of the World regarding his previous works. In my opinion, War of the World would not be on Spielberg's hall of fame. Fortunately, it is held by Cruise and Fanning's acting. I would give them high credits for that. Further, as you might expecting already in Spielberg's movie, it has an awesome special-effect where is taking an important role in this movie.
War of the World is started with Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise)'s new task besides his main job, moving containers. The task is to take care of his children, Robbie (Justin Chatwin) and Rachel Ferrier (Dakota Fanning), for 2 days where is going to be interesting because his "nature" as a father. It rolls up to the aggression of aliens in tripod machine towards human race. Unlike Independence Day, this movie stresses more on the survival of humans rather than the mightiness of U.S. army.
During the adventure to Boston where his ex-wife is, Robbie surprisingly wants to join the army to fight the aliens (I should say this is so stupid man! so unrealistic...). Moreover, it carries on with many entertaining scenes until it reaches a f*cked up ending.
In conclusion, this movie can be entertaining but do not expect too much from it though.
