Pathetic

Rating: 2/10 (11 January 2006)

The special effects were the only saving grace of this film. I can't think of a movie that I've seen before where I wished the kids were killed immediately. Instead of presenting the power of Wells' story, this movie was a sorry devolution into the implausible stupidity of two moronic children. I would rather hear the groan of the Tripods than that silly screaming of the girl. And the aliens had better faces then that stupid, frozen "hard look" on junior's face. Teenage rebels might work for block party disagreement, but the destruction of mankind is a bit more significant.
A total waste of time that grows increasingly more annoying with every minute.
