What could one say about this film... Lemme try: Steven Speilberg, Tom Cruise, Tim Robbins, HG Wells novel, dead bodies, John Williams music, aliens, nice CGI tripod space alien ships, bug juice, cool zapper beams, blood mists in the air and the extiction of the human race. Don't kid yourself, you know this story quite well. A nice effort to re-tell what has been told a few times before. I could easily see another incarnation of this story in 10 years.
Visuallty, it's hard to get anything better. ILM did a fabulous job updating this classic. Story-wise, Cruise is believable and did alot of running in front of a green screen for this one. All in all, a good pop-corn movie. Not your typical Speilberg film though. 7/10
this movie was good. I remember enjoying it but I remember not liking... SPOILER ALERT... don't scroll down unless you've already seen the movie.
ReplyDeletehow the son was alive and somehow made his way back to his mom's. AS IF!
because you know... everything else in the movie was so believable and realistic! LOL
ReplyDeleteAgreed. That was indeed a little rediculous.
ReplyDeleteTypical US box-office film ending... unfortunately.
