Romas M 1d Greetings from Lithuania. "War of the Worlds" (2005) is my favorite adaptation of the famous novel War of the Worlds. By its design, mood and ending, this Steven Spielberg's blockbuster starring Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning is a pretty faithful adaptation. I liked this film when saw it in a movie theater back in 2005, enjoyed revisiting it during years. It is very skilfully made film, with great filmmakers behind the camera and in front. I liked how approach of this story was from a perspective of a father who has to protect his children during the invasion. It is very tense film with some huge set pieces, and Steven Spielberg's good work. It is not his best film by far, but for me it is a good one. Overall, Steven Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" is a good film about invasion, and what would happen then. I liked its epic scale of production even if it follows only few character. A good film.

One thing that took the rating a bit down for me was the constant yelling and tension between Tom Cruise’s character and his kids. It’s at a level that provides a little bit of interest, and perhaps needed to keep an emotional component and connection of the movie. But I think it goes a bit too far to a level of overacting for a good chunk of the movie. It may have been better to introduce a few more characters to go along for the ride, and provide some more dynamics, such as more of the mom. See more Ian W @Ianwinter Dec 23 Naff. Stupid. Over acted. I started a long review but it disappeared during a call then I thought the films not worth it. Cruise too often acts like a ten year old angry James Dean. Watch the scene leaving the city its terrible, green screen and blocked roads that they miraculously drive through. And a garage business still working and oblivious to the alien rampage, falling buildings and people fleeing. Oh dear. But high concept with an A list player sells... Worth watching but ignore the holes and cliches in the film. See more Brandon K Dec 15 The only good take of this movie, a classic tom cruise flick with a really well designed world. See more Dimitris T Dec 10 Rich in horrifying alien action, it kind of insists on an uncanny intimacy by having its protagonists being just typical everymen instead of heroes in a conventional sense. This kind of leads to the plot feeling like it solves itself, but the protagonists' survival until that point is a really terrifying experience. See more mx o @Singular Dec 7 My childhood obssesion. It sparks fear into the audience and it is very thrilling 10/10 recomend watching! See more Read all reviews
