Proof Steven S. hates you

Rating: 3/10 (3 July 2005)

As it was too hot to enjoy an afternoon outside the family decided to take in WOTW in the coolness of the theater. Unfotunately the air-conditioning was more enjoyable than this inane, disjointed, insult of a film. The best part was the trailer for the upcoming King Kong. I didn't expect the film to be on the scale of Close Encounters gone evil as many reviewers had implied but by 2005 every director, especially Speilburg, should realize even the least sophisticated audience can spot the massive continuity problems of this movie. Therefore it stands to reason he didn't care.Evidently there were tight scheduling constraints for Cruise & Speilburg & the film was shot & edited almost simultaneously (Speilburg's 1st all digital shoot evidently) in a third of the time he regularly takes. It shows.As Speilburg is a vocal advocate to preserve the use of film in movie making, perhaps this is his attempt to sabotage the all digital revolution. One can only wonder.
