Impressive

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2005)

I saw this movie multiple times. I was very impressed with the special effects and the tripods. Dakota Fanning really brought this movie to life. She did wonderfully as a young actress. She really made you beileve all her emotions were real. And I was very impressed.
However, I did not give this movie a ten, because there are many details they overlooked. Apparently they didn't think that there were so many people out there that payed attention to detail. After the storm, I thought the power went out? Then soon after random citizens were filming things on video cameras, and shooting pictures. How on earth did there stuff start working so fast? When they were at the house where the airplane wreckage was, you're telling me that the storm was strong enough to tear the roof off of an airplane, but the car didn't get a dent on it? When they arrive in Boston, why are they all so clean? There was many tripods just minutes before in the movie, so why was everything there perfectly in order? Boston is considered a main city in our country, there should have been more damage. They also really screwed up at the very end. What the heck are they talking about? How did the smallest particles destroy them? It didn't really clearly say what took the tripods down.
