Special Effects Kicked Ass!

Rating: 9/10 (5 July 2005)

Well I was quit surprised that the movie was more than just a digital graphics/special effects mile stone(meaning something new to the silver screen in my opinion), however the story of the family was pretty good as well, despite the shortness of this movie in comparison to other sci- fi thrillers.
Just a reminder for people in theaters who eat chips from a crinkly ass chip bags, it's damn rude. I missed a few areas of the dialog because some @#$% was eating chips from a loud chip bag, especially when the crap head squeezed the chip bag three freaking times in a row! But other than that, his wife snatched the things away from his and chucked them down the isle, I think a few people cheered when she chucked them down the isle!
The Movie itself was well put together, though the action started pretty quick and you could get a sense that it was already happening in other parts of the world before the actual action began in the general area where the movie was based. Of course I am a huge digital media design buff, so the biggest concern for me with World of the Worlds was the special effects in the movie. If you like dazzling special effects, this movie is a pretty good example of superb "Industrial Like & Magic" work! Watching this movie, the special effects had a special surreal effect to them. This sort of graphics and digital composition makes the effect look real enough that one could actually picture and/or see one of the Alien Tripods in real life.
Good work, Steven Spielberg! This was one kick ass movie!
