Frightfully realistic

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2005)

As an avid H.G. Wells reader for years I suggest those who want to watch this new version of "War of the worlds" read the novel first. By doing so you will gain insight on the machines and their functions and will not be dumbfounded when watching the movie. H.G. Wells was quite the genius and ahead of his time as were other classic writers of the past. As a writer myself I thought the movie was extremely frightful. Remember, its just Hollywood and anything can happen whether logical or not, it need only be entertaining. In my opinion, this version is truly an epic, and Spielbergs best and finest piece of work yet. Ironic as it sounds I must say, this movie was so scary to me I would not want to view it again.
