Summary: IMDB
As Earth is invaded by alien tripod fighting machines, one family fights for survival.
IMDB for cast and credits:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407304/
This movie is a must watch for me everytime I see it on TV. So much to compel me to watch it. I want to hate Tom Cruise but he is great here as the working class dad who is trying to make sure his kids survive the alien invasion. He will do anything, ANYTHING to ensure they survive. He proves this again and again. The kids are great and this movie realizes an incredible thing - an alien invasion really well. The cinematography is beautiful and the moment that they realize the aliens are hostile is just so well done. I always hold my breath with them and then it happens. Amazing. This movie is interesting even when I know every scene. Some hard moments in it too. Cataclysmic and it ends the same way as Orson Wells radio broadcast. Really good.
Overall rating:
Very good and compelling.
Recommend:
I really do! Even with Tom Cruise in it!
Warnings:
Violence in a sci fi situation. Some personal violence.
