Best Science Fiction Film in Years

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2005)

War of the Worlds was an excellent film. The scenes of the Alien invasion had me stunned by the pure fury and cold blooded death.
Part way through the film I realised the cinema was completely silent, some people like my girlfriend were probably asleep but the rest I think were awe struck by this film.
The scenes which make this film so great; I think are much like parts in Terminator 2 and Aliens at times you don't know who will escape the fire and who will fall. The will of a person to survive second by second and make it against all odds.
If you like films like T2, the first three Alien films or Saving Private Ryan then you must see this film in the cinema.
The only weak point in this film is the ending which is sudden and short, but this only shows because the rest of the film is so intense and detailed.
