This isn't a war, it's an extermination...and an 8/10 movie

Rating: 8/10 (8 July 2005)

"War of the Worlds" contains such astonishing visual effects and graphics that multiply Independence Day by fifty, if not more. The look of the aliens that have the similar appearance to that of the immense shielded machines they 'drive,' is quite interesting and cool.
However, the annoying screaming of that darn little girl (Dakota Fanning, daughter of divorced Tom Cruise, "Ray") which lasts for a couple minutes near the end is ignorant and irritating. The end ends way too abruptly, which you should still see for yourself (cuz i ain't gonna spoil it) since this is still a great movie. acting was done well, especially by Tom Cruise. Nonetheless, the complete STUPIDITY of the people (including Cruise) at the beginning witnessing the devastating arrival of these alien machines is itself annoying and stupidly ignorant.
Despite the cons, however, "War of the Worlds" is a must-see and great for controversial.
Hey, WHAT IF? ...and remember: it's not a war, it's an extermination.
