Tom Cruise makes this film personal, while the special effects make it believable.
War of the Worlds is a book, a radio broadcast, and a 1940's movie. All these formats were exceedingly scary for their time. This remake does not disappoint. The special effects make the action believable and frightening. Cruise personalizes the story. We can empathize with him. First his unknowing scoffing at the freak electrically storm, than his realization that there is real danger. His concern for his children's safety in circumstances he can not control is every parent's worse nightmare. The fear and loss of hope he feels hiding out in the farmhouse basement from the alien machines is deeply disturbing. I have to say that the sequence in which his character carries out a successful attack on one of the tripods was superfluous, which is why I only give the movie four stars. That whole ...

I have to say that the sequence in which his character carries out a successful attack on one of the tripods was superfluous, which is why I only give the movie four stars. That whole scenario was a distraction from the unrelenting helplessness of the situation. This is the point of the book, the broadcast and both movies. Humankind is helpless in the face of this invasion. It is this slow and steady realization that makes this movie so dramatic. I found the scene with the burning train roaring pass particularly horrifying.

A Dark Retelling of an H.G. Wells Story
If one were to make the perhaps inevitable comparison to the 1950s movie it comes across heavy handed. But the earlier movie does convey the same type of terror. .just not on such a grand scale with such ease. The relationships between the characters, which I cannot pretend to go into very well here, is the most terrifying aspect of the movie. Not that the 50's were paradise but relationships weren't so #visibly# "broken." That is also includes the man to Creator relationship. There always has been an odd thing about the alien invasion idea as it is depicted in this story. If aliens were indeed "scrutinizing" earth for any length of time it seems that they would been aware of the diseases or even common colds (etc.) which are ever so common to humans. Surely they should've been ... If one were to make the perhaps inevitable comparison to the 1950s movie it comes across heavy handed.

Surely they should've been sensitive to the idea of importing disease when ingesting people in #this# movie . These are very naive aliens. (Unless they believed technology made them invulnerable). Do I hear a commentary on present war activity ? Very odd that war technology could be so advanced but medical (for lack of a better word) advancement is not present. Spielberg is a master at his craft so I'll have to continue to reflect on the movie.

Modern Version of a Classic!
Well done, sometimes gripping, enactment of the H.G.Wells' classic novel. I thought the special effects were excellent, and the pace of the film was very good, with one exception. I felt the scene where the people were hiding from the alien invaders in the basement was too long and slowed down the overall effectiveness of the movie. Other than that, it is a great film!
