Best Movie Of The Year...By Far

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2005)

I saw WOTW and I have to say, it blew my mind. I see Oscar written all over it. It was a fantastic film with a great story and great homage to the original.
The movie starts with lightning striking New York City. Afterwords, enormous ships burst out of the ground and begin zapping people to dust. It was gory but amazing to watch I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
Tom Cruise is great in this movie.He is one of the better actors out there today. But Dakota Fanning is the true star. She is outstanding as usual.
The film is scary, exciting, and even a little gory. The ending was nothing spectacular, but the film builds up so much its hard to end it. And the special effects were mind-blowing.
The aliens are cool and creative. Some parts of the film will scare little kids, and so will the suspense.
And its honestly heartwarming watching Tom Cruise care for his children the way he does A scifi masterpiece...and one of the best.
