One cannot help but think of terrorist attacks while watching Stephen Spielberg's update of the classic sci-fi fantasy THE WAR OF THE WORLDS. While the H.G. Wells story dates back to 1898, and has inspired previous adaptations, this particular version feeds off its 21st century audience's fear of a terrorist-induced apocalypse. Even if the sight of tall buildings crumbling to the ground and crowds running fearfully away from their demise doesn't trigger post-9/11 paranoia, dialogue such as "Is it the terrorists?" will. <br> <br> Disgruntled, divorced father Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise) is struggling to connect with his estranged kids, who have been dropped off by their mother for the weekend, when a severe and unusual lightning storm leaves his New Jersey neighborhood powerless. Over the course of the next few hours, it becomes obvious that this was not a storm at all, but rather the first sign of a worldwide alien attack. Emerging from the ground in multi-legged tripod-like machines that have apparently be... Less

(01/09/2004, p.67, Nicholas Fonseca): "[T]hey bravely faced down new foes with a unique and compelling aplomb still unmatched on other femme-centric TV shows. The four principals are top-notch."
|
(09/01/2005, p.83-84, Kim Newman): "The film delivers on spectacle, from the jarring initial appearance of an alien tripod breaking up through tarmac to the collapse of the war machines in post-holocaust Boston."

Pros
some strong episodes, great pricing now, some very funny moments, a great season
Cons
shortened season
Recommended it?
Yes
Season 5 of Sex and The City came along differently than previous seasons, mostly because of the personal lives of some of the stars. Real life pregnancies complicated the shooting schedules for two of the leads (Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon) and it ended up hurting the show along with...

I have a strange and large addiction to Sex and the City. So you see, I was very disappointed when Season 5 made its debut on HBO. The previous season had so many wonderful ups and downs; I wondered what direction the writers would take the characters. I soon realized that this particular season...

Pros
Some good special effects, lots of action.
Cons
Lack of sensibility, tripods are boring, actors lack depth
Recommended it?
Yes
I was hesitant to watch War of the Worlds because I contemplated boycotting it. Why? Like many people I am pretty annoyed with Tom Cruise and his new romance, his stupid Oprah-couch dancing and his obnoxious and fanatical religious views. However, I guess I am shallow and I really wanted to see...

Dakota Fanning, entertaining plot, special effects.

Ending could have been better
Recommended it?
Yes
Several years ago I saw most of the 1953 version of War of the Worlds and enjoyed it. I'm not sure when I first heard about the new version of the movie, but I was interested in seeing it. My interest grew after I saw the previews.
Ray Ferrier, a dockworker, was divorced. He didn't have a...
