this movie was awful

Rating: 1/10 (4 July 2005)

This movie was the worst movie I have ever seen. H. G. Wells must be spinning in his grave. The only thing that this movie has in common with the book is that it has aliens and microorganisms kill them. Leave it to Steven Spielberg to destroy a fantastic classic movie. The new movie takes place in America not England, the main character has children, which is wrong, the aliens rode lightning down and the machines came out of the ground, there are no alien flying machines, and the aliens let out an E.M.P. pulse. The lightning and E.M.P. pulse were cool but not following the book at all. I do not suggest this movie to anyone, especially if you have read the book and/or seen the original movie.
