not as good as the 50's original

Rating: 1/10 (1 July 2005)

Just got back from seeing the new WOTW and what a waste of time. Cruise is as bad as always but in addition to that you have to consider that there is no plot. Camera angles, camera angles. Can we just see a scene please with unclouded distortion? I don't want to observe things through a reflection, windows or car door mirrors, or water.
Plot holes abound. Continuity disjunctions. Scrambled explanations. Also, if the end of the world comes via invasion, if it were me I'd like to at least turn on the nearest TV in a house that has working electricity.
What a load of garbage. Consider that you pay for this movie, then have to sit through 15 minutes of commercials, then 15 minutes of previews. Eh, why does the movie industry need commercials money on top of my ticket price. Last time I'll be going to the cinema. Back to my 50" plasma TV at home and I won't be buying this stinker of a movie on DVD.
Gotta laugh at the guy with the working camcorder after the EMP! What brand was that?
