Review of War of the Worlds (2005) by Tommy H — 03 Apr 2015
Worth seeing mostly for the spectacle. If you've read the book or seen other versions then you know what to expect. It's good to see it stayed somewhat loyal to the book. Remakes these days go so far from the source material that they had to invent a new term: the "re-imagining.
" In other words, a dishonest way of making bank. War of The Worlds has a mood and aesthetic appeal that I like. Everything seems to have a layer of dust over it, like you're reading the story from the first print of the Wells classic.
The DVD should come with a scratch and sniff that smells like an old book to complete the experience.
