Movie Review: War of the Worlds

Friday, August 21, 2009
Synopsis: The extraordinary battle for the future of humankind through the eyes of one American family fighting to survive it. Ray Ferrier is a divorced dockworker and less-than-perfect father. Soon after his ex-wife and her new husband drop of his teenage son Robbie and young daughter Rachel for a rare weekend visit, a strange and powerful lightning storm touches down.

Starring: Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, Miranda Otto, Justin Chatwin, Tim Robbins
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
U.S. Rating: PG-13

One of my favorite movies. Steven Spielberg brings such a great master piece to the big screen. A plot loaded with amazing effects and great sound. All the cast involved offered such a great content, even though, this movie has received lots of critic. Considered to be in the list of the top blockbuster movies, many people have written lots of critics about some errors and incongruency on some scenes, like the first ones during the first attack, when all electronic equipments stopped working, but some people were taking pictures and video taping the attack, or at the end of the movie when Tom Cruise reunites with his family in a city in Boston where nothing was destroyed and his family looked like they were just worried waiting for them (after such a desolation and deadly traumatic and horrible situation). Anyway, I liked the movie, no matter these discrepancies, I totally recommend it.

What did I like from this movie?

1. The effects on this movie, simply amazing!
2. The situation when Tom Cruise and his daughter are in this basement with Tim Robbins and they're visited by the machine arms and some aliens
3. It was good the beginning, when they're about to be attacked after the lightnings and how Tom Cruise is such a coward, being scared of it
4. Really liked the camera effects when they're running away driving in the van

What did I dislike from this movie?

A little bit too long, that's at least how I felt, that it would get really boring if the movie would take 5 more minutes longer.

I would rate this movie with a 4/5



Enjoy it!... Watch it!
