I loved the original 1950s movie. The remake is different in that it views the war with the aliens from the perspective of a father and his two children. I think this was a bad idea, reducing the action and interest of the original movie, which viewed from the perspective of the army. There are some good scenes in the film. There is a great scene where Tom Cruise sees the first Alien walker, its ray guns burning people to ashes as they run down the street. Another classic scene, borrowed from the original movie, shows the family hiding in a cellar, while an alien probe searches for them, moving itself eerily around corners. Another good scene shows a ship overturned by an alien submarine. There are some okay scenes showing the military fighting the alien walkers, but they could have been better. Overall I rate it as average, as there are not enough great scenes, and it is inferior to the original movie. I think this film was a wasted opportunity, but it is worth watching once.Read full review
I bought this DVD after seeing it at the cinema, i thought it was truely great, which i still think now. Ive watched the movie who knows how many times. But if your thinknig of buying the 2 disk DVD, think again. Its full of items which are mostly dull and long. You sit and watch a graphic logo run arcoss the screen which takes around 30 seconds (which is way to long), just to listen to a man who is somehow related to the movie go on and on about how great the director is and how great the set was and that the cast was the best in the world. Well i kinda agreed at first, but then he just go's on and on and on for ages, just chatting away about the same thing, if i could find that man, i would say "they cant be that great". All the other features are a bit boring, i could only sit through about the first 10 minutes of each, but who knows how long they go on for. My verdict, buy the 1 disk, you will not be disapointed about the flim, its great, but dont waste your money on a 2 disk when you will only be disappointed.Read full review
THIS HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE GREATEST SCI-FI FILMS OF ALL TIME. THIS MODERN ADAPTATION OF THE CLASSIC FILM CAPTURES YOUR IMAGINATION, AND ALMOST DRAGS YOU INTO THE FILM. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.
I got this think it was better then the 1950's one. The remake tried to keep up with the one what was made in the 1950's, the acting is very good and the special effects in this movie... The only thing what let it down was the plot, as it was different to the 50's one. 5/10 Not a bad movie watch.
Yet again we have a magnificent film produced by Speilberg to keep us thoroughly entertained. War Of The Worlds. What a film. Aliens and stuff like that don't really do it for me, but this is an exception. Perhaps the acting from Cruise and Fanning make it a worthy watch. Some decent films, with tension and a half decent storyline make it a decent watch. Special effects play a mjor role in this film, and they have been masterminede to perfection. A must watch, and a must buy! 9 out of 10!
