Where is the plot?

Rating: 1/10 (4 August 2005)

I have been talking with friends on this movie, trying to catch were is the plot, just a father trying to send his kids back to their mother in the middle of an alien invasion. But what was behind it we will never know.
Cruise have one of the worst performance in his carrer, The only remarkable performance is the one of Dakota, and its not the superb one as I have hear of.
Spielberg was so lost in this War of the worlds that we missed to say that the aliens died by a common flu! And anybody could understand why if the aliens were killing everybody why the house of the grandparents in Boston were not destroyed? and why everybody was hidden inside?.
please avoid this movie, don't spend 8 bucks on something like this, there are many movies that are better than this one.
