And underrated movie

Rating: 8/10 (15 July 2005)

War Of The Worlds (2005) is very hated, simply by the fact it doesn't follow the established rules in sci-fi and alien invasion movies and because its directed by Steven Spielberg.
The movie takes a different approach focusing only in one family and the unbelievable events that they experience, yes, they're unbelievable because that's simply the point, this is a reference to the 9/11 attacks, that event was truly unbelievable, who could ever believe those devastating events would happen.
Spielberg brings us a film about devastation, not a blockbuster summer film, a film which shows how far a human being can go to save his life, a depressing film that does not focus in a worldwide event, but in a intimacy that represents us, we see what they see, we are with them.
The invaders just are here to show how weakened the human race is, the ending of this invaders is the same as the book, not your typical America or another country saves the world.
The movie leaves a lot of unanswered questions, you can make theories if you want, the confusion and mis-information will be around of us if this events actually happened.
It does have a few flaws at the end, I think that with a polished script and a better ending, would make this a classic.
For now its a very good movie, if you're not expecting your typical summer film.
9/10
