A classic that pays homage to the original source as well as the 1953 movie. The first attack sequence is worth the price of admission in itself; incredible, yet very, very credible - as in surreal. If you don't get the ending, or don't like it, read the book; again, this is a nice nod to an ingenious ending devised well over 100 years ago. Overall, I'd say the movie played out like an updated 1950's sci-fi classic; with touches of "Saving Private Ryan" intensity and "The Pianist" desolation. But don't listen to me, and don't listen to all the other pundits and "critics;" Go check it out for yourself and see what big-time movie making is all about.
