Only Movie I Have Ever Seen Twice At The Theater.

Rating: 9/10 (14 September 2005)

At 62 I have seen a lot of science fiction movies (my favorite). The original War Of The Worlds I consider the first ever "A" Movie in S.F., and I feel that though limited the special effects were back then, they still stand tall in today's market. I would have liked them to hold to the original version, but this was still a fantastic job (thus the 9 out of 10 score). Loved it all the way. I feel that some may have not liked the movie as much due to the special effects being too good and the actors creating their characters too well. This often happens when you get too used to an actors style (in general), and they do a major departure from what you expect, or when you get used to special effects fitting a certain set of parameters, and the work is "out side the box".
