Great movie

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2005)

Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds is one of the best movies I've seen this year. The performances, the story and the special effects are really great.
The film explores parenthood, and its not just about action and aliens attacking. It explores Ray Ferrier's (Tom Cruise) growth as a father as tripod alien machines destroy our world.
The actions scenes are very well managed and extremely taken care of by a real master, Mr. Spielberg. Although the film only portrays a family struggling to survive the attacks, Spielberg made it as big as he could. The situations in which the characters are involved make it hard for someone to not have fun and at the same time feel scared at moments, it's really cool.
The idea of aliens coming out of the ground is really great, and it makes us really wonder if that is, in fact possible.
The character of Ogilvy, played smartly by Tim Robbins, is great too, although I would've asked for more scenes involving the character, because it was very secondary.
Bottom line is, "War of the Worlds" is the best we'll come across this summer and makes us remember the days in which Jurassic Park scared us to death. If you want to see a big action movie, this is definitely for you.
