a couple minutes of plot, a few good actors and an all around amazing movie

Rating: 6/10 (7 July 2005)

I saw this at the drive in's. The screen huge, as the tripods came out of the ground i held my breath. This movie no doubt has the greatest special effects i've ever seen in my whole life. Yes Tom Cruise even pulled off a decent performance and i hate the guy and most of his movies. A lot of people are mad that Steven Spielberg relied to much on the sfx and had the storyline as an afterthought, but Spielberg did this because the movie has been made like 10 times, each one focusing on the story, and Spielberg knew that to return to greatness he would have to do something that no one has done yet with this franchise, he made the best summer adventure anyone will see in their life. Next to this movie, star wars comes out looking like the telletubbies
