War Of The Worlds

Well Speilberg has made another money maker.

Not necessarily his best yet but thriller enough he will have audiences on edge of their seats for at least half the movie. From 10 minutes in to the movie to 10 minutes from the end it is BLAM, BOOM, KAPOW, and KABOOM. Either it is blowing up or it is getting burned by the "death ray."

Even though Speilberg laid his grubby fingers on it...he couldn't totally save it because of Tom Cruise. Tom was not the best choice for the movie. Is he pushing 50 yet? Since we all know by now that he is only 5'8" why does everyone shoot camera angles to make him look 6'? Also, there are too many loose ends by the end of the movie. No explanations as to why the aliens arrived or as to why they were spraying the blood like fertilizer.

Major redeeming factor though was the CG. They were able to make the Tripods look as realistic as possible. Realistic enough that is to make your heart pound out of its chest when the stomped on the ground or "death rayed" everything.

Final analysis...movie scores a 7 out of 10.
