I thought that this was a fairly well made remake. I liked how the movie played as more of a drama with Cruise and his kids and how the aliens were in the background as apose to the focus of the movie, I'm a little tired of movies like Independce Day...
I have to agree that this film did have some horrific scenes that could be desturbing to some people, I had heard that the main scare element was the realism with the destruction in that it brought a feeling of 9/11 to some people. My only problem with this movie was that the alien mechines were already on Earth underground right? So that means that the aliens were already exposed to the Earth's diseases. So why didn't they die in the beginning? See I think that the story should have gone like the original in that the aliens had to arrive first, not that their already here. |

Well, I still really enjoyed the movie. One reason being that I never really liked the 50s version. Speilberg's war machines were the tripods that I read about as a kid. I was so disapointed seeing the 50s version and instead of the massive tripods, those floating vacume cleaners came out.
I do resent the fact that the beggining implied that Mustang owners like me a somehow less responsible then people who drive SUVs.

Saw it and loved it! I think it was nice to see a drama story line instead of an all out action sci-fi. When you guys see it you'll see what I mean.

Yah it was pretty good. Horrible adaption from the book, though.

I seen it, the effects were amazing but I didn't really like the story they added on to it. But it was a pretty good movie.
