When : June 30th 2005
Title : War of the Worlds
Starring : Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning
Plot: Martian invasion
Review : Wow, Awesome film..... a 2 hour edge of your seat chase sequence. Fanning was spectacular, couldn't help thinking about Cruise's recent behavior, but if it wasn't for that then I would be lauding him for a marvelous performance. Some of the special effects were a little substandard, the ferry scene especially, also some of the more gory parts were hidden from view, which may have been to get a favorable PG-13 rating, but seeing as it would give kids nightmares for years to come anyway, it came across as a cheap cost cutting measure. These minor issues however pale away into insignificance when compared to the majesty of this epic tale.
Rating: A+
