Spectacular, non-stop action

Rating: 7/10 (5 December 2019)

The classic tale gets a fresh new look thanks to dynamic visuals. This is still one of Tom Cruise's best performances (in my opinion) and Dakota Fanning is also very good.
The visuals are jaw-dropping. The action and suspense starts pretty early in the film and never lets up. This is non-stop action and excitement from beginning to end, with lots of suspense and great sound effects.
Yes, there were scenes when I thought this is absolutely not possible, and it wasn't always believable how Ray (Cruise) managed to escape the onslaught, but in general this is one hell of an awesome action thriller. Spielberg thought of everything to maximize the suspense. 'War of the Worlds' is a an all-round top-notch production.
