Visually Spectacular

Rating: 6/10 (8 January 2006)

With the rush of re-makes that have developed this summer, the old favorite would be just the kind of thing Spielberg would go for. With the massive fan-base that Steven built for those visually wonderful films such as Terminator 2 and Jarrasic Park, how could he possibly resist this futuristic tale of the outside world? With obvious time and money spent by the visual department and the CG techs, Spielburg has created a masterpiece that is timeless. With the terrifyingly realistic effects and plot, along with the best of performers, the highlight of which being Dakota Fanning and her charming father-daughter love for Tom Cruise.
Gripping, edge-of-your-seat action that's one white-knuckle ride no one could possibly resist. Intese dialogue and themes, extensive research on effects, and a well-written plot makes "War of the Worlds" a well-made timeless thrill ride that won't stop until the final scene.
