This is the second collaboration between Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg after Minority Report. I think most of you would be aware of the source- HG Well's famous book and this is a worthy addition to the many adaptations the famed book has had. Featuring typical Spielberg traits War of the World is a big budget adaptation with enough scenes to whet your alien appetite. If there is one thing I wish they'd have done is they'd tone Dakota Fanning down a few notches. The pacing is excellent as are the special effects. This is a great science fiction film by a master filmmaker. A must watch.

War of the Worlds (2005) is a massively underrated masterpiece, in my opinion. Not many films can achieve a sense of genuine fear and anxiety quite like this film does. The first two acts of the film are stronger than its third, and it does end with me wanting more, but that's not to say this is a bad film. Far from it. I'll avoid spoilers, but believe me this film will have you on the edge of your seat once it begins to pick up in the first act. I know it's a stretch but if you ever get the chance to experience this film at a cinema then don't think twice about it and just do it. I promise you won't regret it.

Cant even get 30 minutes in before "OMFG WHY IT IS SO LOUD!" to 5 minutes late "WTF DID THEY SAY?"(better pause rewind and turn the volume up), and "OMFG ITS LOUD AF AGAIN!". Seriously I had a decent memory of seeing this in the theater but trying to watch it at home its ridiculous. Other than that its trying to cram in some family story that you don't really have enough time to care about despite how good looking the actors are. Don't forget dad's dumb, and the little girl knows more than everyone else except when it comes to mechanics. Really hope the famiy turns out okay but to be honest I'd prefer more shots of the aliens and their technology. Just need to have the remote handy to turn it the volume down by 75% the next time they have a quiet talk again.

Whenever comes to Steven Spielberg, it will be definitely a masterpiece. This one is very spectacular because he is using animatronics rather than using visual effects. A definitely watch movie. Tom Cruise played a divorced dad character which is willing to do anything to safeguard his daughter, played by Dakota Fanning.
