Loved it

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 2005)

Cruise was wonderful, the effects were wonderful. I liked how they kept the perspective tied to Ray Ferrier's (like in the book) and didn't go with another end of the world blockbuster with effects from start to finish. It was a movie I couldn't tear myself away from (no matter the need) and can't way to see it again. Horrific in places, memorable in others and you couldn't help get that hair standing up on your neck feeling when those damned tripods showed up each time. My only wish was that it had been a bit longer with maybe showing Cruise and Fanning observing the results of the attempted extermination. But the movie is tight and compact and those are two things needed in today's market to keep the attention of some. Great movie.
