 WAR
OF
THE
WORLDS
With
Tom
Cruise,
Dakota
Fanning,
Tim
Robbins
Directed
by
Steven
Spielberg
Many
versions
of
this
tale
have
seen
the
light.
Obviously
this
modernized
sci-fi
spectacle
does
not
follow
the
original
H.G.
Wells
tale
to
a
T,
but
incorporates
all
of
the
essential
elements
to
create
a
devastating
earth
invasion
of
aliens
and
holding
onto
the
title.
Tom
Cruise
plays
Ray,
a
divorced
dad
who
has
his
kids
for
the
weekend
when
the
invasion
strikes.
The
human
extermination
is
hectically
depicted,
vapourised
people
bursting
into
dust,
their
clothing
flapping
to
the
ground.
As
confused
as
everyone
else
around
the
globe
where
this
Martian
invasion
is
happening,
Ray
tries
to
protect
his
children
against
an
indefensible
enemy
who
overpowers
the
earth's
weapons
without
much
effort.
Great
effects,
convincing
performances
and
relentless
aliens
add
up
to
an
exciting
movie
with
the
right
ingredients
to
hook
up
with
the
terrorist
fear
gripping
the
globe.
