Default War of the Worlds

Ready for another alien invation ? Here you have a Stephen Spielberg movie, now playing at the cinema: "War of the Worlds"

An american family fights to survive a martian invasion. Surprised ? No ? I thought so. Anyway, Spielberg used the SF story of H.G. Wells to picture the fight for the future of humankind.

Cast : Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, Miranda Otto, Tim Robbins, Justin Chatwin

Interesting to see Cruise as a father. Not a good one.

The trailer shows a lot of special effects and destruction. I believe Hollywood is out of new ideas. I don't think if I'll go for this one at the cinema. I'll probably wait for the DVD.

I changed my mind and went to the cinema last night. Not bad. I jumped a few times during the movie and at the end my knees were hearting me. Those bastards aliens were not nice at all and had a strange taster for human bodies.

I liked Tom Cruise's performance. He did a hell of a good job.

If some day you'll take the DVD, this movie is not for children.

I thought it was very well done and I enjoyed it a lot. I will buy it when it comes out. The thing is that Hollywood seems to be caught up with the Earth in peril type of films these days. I also noticed that a lot of TV shows that are coming on in the fall deal with alien invasions... etc. I guess it's just a trend.
