War of the Worlds

OMFG what a great movie, the first I have been to since I got my cochlear, the sound effects are awesome.
I dont think any one went home dissipointed!

I'm gonna watch it tomorrow :D Hope its good like ya say :D

Does it say anything about it's basis? Like the inspiration for it?

Tickqueener saw it and he told me that it wasn't very good. He said the special effects were pretty good, tho.

He's a movie fiend...and he sees plenty without me!

I was going to watch it today, but it was sold out.

I'm not trying to steal him, but tell him to talk to me! I need a kindred spirit! :)

I think I'm going tomorrow. I'm not holding my breath. Someone told me Armageddon with Bruce Willis was the best movie ever. It was shit. Nevertheless Independance Day was brilliant.

Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight!" We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

Saw it, the first hour and 40 minutes are GREAT!!!

However, the ending left me thinking "That's it? That's the end? What the Fuck????"

Susan and I saw it opening day. The jetliner and train sequences, along with the other special effects, were top notch.

There were so many things better than the original movie.

But we both wanted to duct tape the little girl's whiney ass mouth, and hated the whole 'family' drama.

Indeed....

I saw it yesterday (July 1st).
Since I heard the news that Spielberg was making that movie, I've been soooo impatient, because I used to read the original WOTW many times while in my childhood...
Yes, it's a great movie...I was blown away in horror. I've never felt such terror before from other movies...imho, as completely as possible, Spielberg succeeded in expressing the terror aroused unconsciously among the people of 20th and 21st centuries who have ever read the original.

Excellent movie!!!

Saw it tonight and was pretty disappointed by it. I actually knew before hand that I would not like it, so I wasn't too surprised.

I thought the special effects were just about the only good thing about it...other than that I don't have much to comment on.

Oh wait, yes I do. Dakota Fanning (i think that's her name...) was SO annoying!!!
