Review of War of the Worlds (2005) by Edd J — 05 Aug 2013
Spielberg's War of the Worlds is blessed with a keen eye for shot composition, atmosphere and a very terrifying portrayal of the infamous invasion on the backdrop of a chilling music score. The problem is that it lacks any real interest in the invasion itself in favour of the affect on the human condition.
Not a bad idea, just not fleshed out enough. Despite it's recurring issues, War of the Worlds is a frightening blockbuster worthy of a place on Spielberg's filmography of great movies.
