Steven Spielberg frightens the world with this frightening action adventure thriller!

Rating: 10/10 (24 September 2015)

After the lovely film The Terminal which I absolutely adore so much Steven Spielberg wanted to give his audience a wee bit of a fright and boy did he with this absolutely brilliantly scary action adventure thriller and it's a completely different film compared to Minority Report where that film took us to the future this film keeps the reality of the here and now as the focus of the film, the visual effects by the amazing magicians at ILM try to upstage the actors but in every film Steven Spielberg makes no matter what type of genre of film it is he always makes the characters the focus of the film because you have to relate to them otherwise it would be pointless to watch it otherwise, The direction of the film is simplistic and really understated which is a unusual direction for a science fiction film to take because Tom Cruise is the focus of the story he wants to protect his family even though he neglects his children at the beginning he starts to bond with them despite the brevity and complexity of the situation at hand the amazing visual effects are wonderfully scary and appropriately so because this is not ET or Close Encounters of the Third Kind these are aliens with destruction on their minds as the beautiful narration by the king of narration Morgan Freeman tells us in the beautiful bookends at the opening and closing of the film they are so stunningly simply directed with nature floating around the screen so beautifully simple it almost feels like a documentary film simple easy to understand, Compared to Minority Report Tom Cruise gives a really committed performance so does Dakota Fanning and Justin Chadwin they are amazing performances and need more film roles, John Williams's beautifully tense score is not used in the film very much there is a strong emphasis of the music on the soundtrack album I really love the themes for Ray and the Children John Williams composes because it's not an iconic theme it's background music to accompany the simple story the film is telling there's no theme to identify the music to the film but it was not necessary because there is a pulsating tension in the film as the music thumps along like a old 1950's movie just fantastically simple not too complicated! This film is way too scary for children 12A is the wrong rating for the film 15 is the right rating for the film it's a frightening traumatising experience and not for viewers with photosensitive epilepsy there are flashing lights going on and off all over the place and iconic frightening images Planes engulfed in Flames trains riding along a railway track engulfed in flames dead bodies floating along a river blood all over the road really frightening images more scary than Jaws in my opinion just a wonderfully frightening thrill ride, Thank you Steven Spielberg and John Williams yet again I am beginning to sound like a broken record just thanking the both of them repeatedly but they deserve it their unforgettable cultural impact and contribution to film and film music is unparallelled I mean every film is a masterpiece of genius and visual invention, I can't wait to see what Steven Spielberg achieves with Munich!
