Film: War of the Worlds (2005)

DVD: Enhanced 16x9
War of the Worlds (Widescreen Edition)

"What is it? Is it terrorists?"
"These came from some place else."
"What do you mean, like, Europe?"
"No, Robbie, not like Europe!"

Review: This is an excellent movie of an alien invasion from the perspective of a small family on the run from the destruction. It is almost a perfect movie for about three-quarters until Ray and his daughter hide out in Ogilvy's basement and it slows down a bit. The rest of the movie is excellent but takes a half a star out of the movie's rating.

"Okay, hard-ass. You're in charge now? So what's your plan?"
"We catch up with these soldiers, and we head back there, and we get back at them! We get back at them!"
"Okay, now come up with a plan that DOESN'T involve your 10-year-old sister joining the Army! You got anything like that?"

4 1/2 out of 5 Stars
