Craptacular! (SPOILERS)

Rating: 2/10 (4 December 2005)

(SPOILERS)
All good things about this movie:
The visual effects and imagery. The bookend narrations by Morgan Freeman
A few of the bad things about this movie:
Tripods underground. Awful dialog. Annoying Rachael. Moron Robbie. In-laws and their home completely unharmed. Robbie survives.
Rampant stupidity: Who goes to a major population center like Boston when the world is being destroyed? Who drives into a mob when you have the only functioning vehicle for miles around? Who gets ON a ferry when the tripods are bearing down on the landing? Who walks TOWARDS the sounds and flashes of a large battle?
Volumes could be written about the two brats, but I'll just leave it at Annoying Rachael and Moron Robbie.
Why does the tripod shield go down when the crew gets sick?
The Dolby Digital sound track on the DVD sounds thin and muted and/or range-compressed.
