Wells story. At first the martians seem laughable hardly able to move in earths comparatively heavy gravity. But soon the martians reveal their true nature as death machines. As the martians proceed with their deadly invasion one family fights for survival. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 08/21/2007 Starring: Tom Cruise Morgan Freeman Run time: 117 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Steven Spielberg Despite super effects, a huge budget, and the cinematic pedigree of alien-happy Steven Spielberg, this take on H.G. Wells's novel is basically a horror film packaged as a sci-fi thrill ride. Instead of a mad slasher, however, Spielberg (along with writers Josh Friedman & David Koepp) utilizes aliens hell-bent on quickly destroying humanity, and the terrifying results that prey upon adult fears, especially in the post-9/11 world. The realistic results could be a new genre, the grim popcorn thriller; often you feel like you're watching Schindler's List more than Spielberg's other thrill-machine movies (Jaws, Jurassic Park). The film centers on Ray Ferrier, a divorced father (Tom Cruise, oh so comfortable) who witnesses one giant craft destroy his New Jersey town and soon is on the road with his teen son (Justin Chatwin) and preteen daughter (Dakota Fanning) in tow, trying to keep ahead of the invasion. The film is, of course, impeccably designed and produced by Spielberg's usual crew of A-class talent. The aliens are genuinely scary, even when the film--like the novel--spends a good chunk of time in a basement. Readers of the book (or viewers of the deft 1953 adaptation) will note the variation of whom and how the aliens come to Earth, which poses some logistical problems. The film opens and closes with narration from the novel read by Morgan Freeman, but Spielberg could have adapted Orson Welles's words from the famous Halloween Eve 1938 radio broadcast: 'We couldn't soap all your windows and steal all your garden gates by tomorrow night, so we did the best next thing: we annihilated the world.' --Doug Thomas When Steven Spielberg does digital special effects, they have an appalling weight-the heft and fling of huge masses hurled through space. At one point, Tom Cruise, playing an irresponsible dad with two children he must learn to protect, hurtles along the street right toward the camera, which is rapidly receding before him, and buildings and people on all sides disintegrate as the street itself puckers and bubbles like a fondue at the boil. In Spielberg's stark, horror-movie take on H. G. Wells's classic novel from 1898, there are no brilliant scientists from Caltech and no government authorities to cope with the alien invaders, as there were in older sci-fi-disaster movies. We are entirely alone. For an hour or so, as a physical realization of disaster, the picture is amazing, but then it runs out of gas, and we have time to wonder at a spectacle in which the aliens land and everyone dies so that Tom Cruise can grow up one more time. With Tim Robbins as a defiant, militia-minded basement dweller. The screenplay is by David Koepp and Josh Friedman. -David Denby Copyright © 2006 The New Yorker Customers who bought this item also bought The War of the Worlds (Special Collector's Edition) Minority Report (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition) I, Robot (Widescreen Edition) The Day After Tomorrow (Widescreen Edition) King Kong (Widescreen Edition) Customer Reviews for: War of the Worlds (Full Screen Edition) Rating - Too cheezy It was ok, I guess. Acting not best. Kind a sorry I got. I might watch it again... Rating - 3 stars out of 4 The Bottom Line: Few could deny that War of the Worlds has its share of flaws, but capable direction and special effects coupled with a few outstanding scenes make this film (just) worth recommending despite its ludicrous and abrupt ending. Rating - No paddle steamers(sadly) but the ending is a bit of a "Cleveland Steamer"! Ok, so what is good about this film? The effects are great, the acting is ok, and the mix of elements selected from the book and the re-imagined sections are pretty good. BUT.... just like Independence Day, you have 2/3 of a good film and 1/3 cack. The ending defies belief, with Tom Cruises estranged family greeting the weary travellers in woolly jumpers at the un-damaged front door of their pricey brownstone in Back-Bay Boston! They only needed to be holding mugs of hearty broth and smoking pipes for the scene to be complete. ... Read More Rating - Terrifying Aliens, Mundane Family. War of the Worlds is a visually stunning and ultimately terrifying film about encounters with ruthless invaders. While I praise this film for the alien scenes and plot, the rest is so mundane and negative that it almost ruins the movie. The movie introduces is to Ray (Tom Cruise) and his ex-wife and kids. He is to watch the kids while his ex-wife is away for the weekend. During this time, Ray encounters a massive and strange electric storm and later on discovers it triggered massive machines buried underground that ...
