I am actually anxious to see this, have heard good comments from people (for the most part). I will probably check it out Wednesdayish.

I read the book, I've seen the original movie countless times, saw the movie based on the radio play ("The night America paniced" or something like that) and saw the remake. I liked them all.

hated it! what the fuck happened to the plot; it's there lightly but hardly. it was no different that any other film which relies on special effects to carry the story.
i was very dissapointed i actually thinking that this film was going to be worth my time but then again i was the one stupid enough to pay to see it and made everyone a few dollars richer. luckally i went to a matenne so they didn't steal to much yes, fanning was extremly annoying! one would assume that a child as gifted as her would have been given a more plausable role.

i originally wanted to watch it cuz it was about the book, although i figured that as usual, hollywood would completely butcher it
that and tom cruise has turned into one hell of a dousche as of late, so im planning on boycotting him.

What killed me about WOTW was how insanely narcissistic it was - why, for instance, do aliens seem to seek Tom Cruise out - I mean wherever he goes they show up. In the 50s film it makes sense as he's a reporter and the whole military connection. But Tom Cruise is just "everyman" - so why do aliens suddenly appear . . . everytime he is near??? Also, I was repulsed by the fairly explicit 9/11 imagery - I know its an "end of the world" film - but I thought it was downright exploitation. Finally, in another of my extended rants, did it bother anyone else that the protagonist was an utterly vicious selfish bastard who cared nothing about anyone except his family - pushing shoving, shooting -even killing- everyone who got in his way. Indeed, the whole film seemed to suggest that the only way to survive is to kick and stomp everyone else and get whatever you can. That kind of selfish individualism is certainly at the center of current American political/cultural philosophy - its just sad to see it celebrated on the big screen.

Besides that, he's a Scientologist. Now, I'm Wiccan, and we get shit from people, so technically I shouldn't give it out. However, has anyone here researched Scientology? If there's such a thing as a cult, these jokers are it.

Okay, I saw the damn thing, and I give it a 5, mostly because it looked good. I didn't mind that it didn't make a lick of sense; I did mind that there seemed virtually no point to it.
