Is it fun and entertaining, a big YES!

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2005)

Wow, if you listen to all the negative, overly critical reviews, why would you go to the theater at all? Few movies are perfect.
If you want to see an ambitious remake that does H.G. Wells story justice, then go see the movie. If you are looking for something to find fault, then turn on the TV and stay at home.
There are lots of inconsistencies in this interpretation, but the overall effect is stressful and full of tension. You are thrust into a war, where you can only run and hide. I thought the flow of the film was perfect, run-hide-rest over and over, and try not to die.
Is this the best movie made? By no means. Is it fun and entertaining, a big YES! Hollywood is in a major rut. Come up with some original (new) stories and if you insist on making a SciFi film, better run it by the average techno-geek, because you made some major goofs in this film.
Kudos for creating a visually stunning, good old fashion monster, end of the world movie.
