Best Science Fiction Film

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2005)

War of the Worlds was the best science fiction film ever created. It beats Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlefield Earth, and all the rest. It was deathly scary, not in a jumpy way, but in a very creepy powerful desperate way.
A lot of people are complaining about Dakota Fannings acting, but she acted as any child of her age would act if the movie was in fact a reality, so I think she did great.
There are also complaints about how the ships weren't scary. First of all, super-intelligent species, such as these aliens were, do not build there ships to be scary, they build them to be a reliable and efficient machine, which they were. Secondly, they were picking people up from the ground, barreling through concrete, and turning people to ash. To me, that is pretty scary.
So, yes, to me, this movie was a stunning display of art direction, acting and story, and I was absolutely blown away by it! --Kandace C. Long
