WAR OF THE WORLDS (Theatrical Release USA 2005)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì 

War of the Worlds—much better film than the original 1953 movie of the same name. The special effects are great, the best part of the movie. Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, and Justin Chatwin make a very good casting team. The supporting cast seamlessly supports the three lead actors. This WOW! Spielberg movie is completely watchable and deserves a place in the family home video library.
