Review of War of the Worlds (2005) by Javis C — 25 Mar 2014

Ah! This is what we needed a well recognized director working with a super-star, yes Cruise/Spielberg team at its best. First of all why? Because they understood Wells' novel, the paranoia, the chaos made by the invasion till we arrive to a point when we start to destroy ourselves, the love for our family and to protect it, a theme which Spielberg is very familiar with, and everything about the invasion is in here, tripods, blood, bacterias, the red weed, well except the cylinders and the black smoke, but they made a mix of some resources for adapting it into modern times, Cruise's performance is fresh but the one who shines in here is Dakota Fanning, on eof the best films by Spielberg, loyal enough to the original novel.
