Underratted

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2005)

This movie is completely underrated. Yes, I'm 13 and I haven't seen the original 1953 War of The Worlds, but I don't know why people don't like this one.
The plot isn't really a plot, it's more of a general idea of staying alive. The plot is about Tom Cruise and his nephew and niece are staying over at his house. Then, a meteor crashes into the town and everything goes haywire. Tom Cruise does a great job, and so does Dakota Fanning (not saying I'm a fan and just saying that). Only Speilburg can make the main character 2 inches from the aliens. In my mind, it was another Jaws and Poltergiest as in scare factor, and quality of Back to the Future and E.T., but not in other people's minds.
