Spielberg does it again! Utterly Amazing!

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2005)

War of the Worlds is one of the best movies I have ever seen. None other than Steven Spielberg could do such a marvelous job creating it. The action, the detail, the drama, this movie has it all.
Tom Cruise does an adequate job playing the role of Ray, the divorced father. His place in this movie is unnecessary towards the plot, but it adds the focus of suspense to the movie. Aliens from a far away world have planted machines in the ground of Earth to one day enable them to emerge and take over. The effects for the movie are unbelievable as the weather patterns take course, as lightning strikes the beasts in order to have them react. The destruction of buildings, of the ground, the aurora of weather, the fire train, everything, builds for tension. The deep blast of the machines' sound makes for an eerie setting, which is perfect for the mood.
10 out of 10. Perfect!
