"Is it terrorists?!"

Rating: 8/10 (12 December 2005)

Nope, indeed it is not, it's forces beyond our understanding from the other worlds! It's War of the Worlds in fact! LOL! Well, after the huge TomKat craze I think everyone felt in 2005's summer, I felt like I had seen enough of Tom and that kind of effected me seeing the movie, I know that's sad, but I think most of us felt the same. But to my surprise, actually I shouldn't be because of Steven Spielberg, this was a great movie. It kept me interested and it was quite a ride!
But once again, Tom's crazy antics kept me just being sarcastic and wanting him to call the man in the cellar that was trying to help them "glip!" :D I had fun though, this had such an eerie and very real feeling to it that kept you screaming and wanting to know how to defeat the alien forces. The machines, even though I'm not a fan of CGI, were awesome and frightening! The acting, especially on Dakota's part, was really amazing. Yes, Dakota went a little crazy with the screams, but she reacted like most ten year olds would. I was a little confused with the son, Robbie, going off into the battle fields and later on was in Boston waiting for his father and sister. Didn't make much sense.
Steven has done it again, this has to be one of the better remakes of this year so far. He had a great cast and great ideas, I just feel bad that Tom gave all that bad publicity for him onto the film. But like I said, it's a good movie and should be given a chance. It has cool effects, good acting, a great scenery and feel, and just a sense of horror of this possibly happening! The truth is out there! :D
8/10
