Very Entertaining Summer Flick

Rating: 9/10 (1 July 2005)

Amazing visual effects and solid acting made this summer blockbuster work.
I am very surprised that Steven Spielberg met the deadline for this movie considering that he only started shooting 8 months ago, but the acting in this movie was fantastic and the Computer-Genertated images were flawless. But the abrupt storyline left many questions unanswered and it would be nice to know how the devastation of the Alien tripods affected other cultures.
But this movie really captured the drama of a worldwide catastrophe when we witnessed the hordes of people trying to escape the Alien Onslaught and eventually killing each other to get a single car.
Very well-done movie and it delivers what it promises. 9/10
