Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2005)

I enjoyed the movie greatly, and i will sum it up like this: alien farmers land on earth and tom cruise gets his children back to his ex- wife a day early while the major theme of War of the Worlds unfolds around him. The special effects were not over done and not the primary focus of the film. the story does leave some perplexing questions, such as when and why the aliens buried their war/farming equipment on earth
I wish other directors would consider doing other h. g. wells stories. he has some interesting ideas. when you put wells in the context of the period he was writing he is as forward thinking as a man can be, not just sci-fi, but some of his social /political stories as well.
