@kiplol and @mr-sackamano, the son was quite understandably animose toward his father due to his apparent estrangement to him, and the daughter is almost unrealistically brave, actually. Have you sired children? I ask because you appear naive of what might cause a person, much more a child, to act apparently irrationally. I'm practically autistic, and yet realize this.

One of the greatest openings in any sci-fi movie. Sadly it falls apart the longer into the movie you get. I give the opening a 9 and the rest 5. So 7 it is.

@philip-j So true on the opening. I sometimes watch it over just for the first half hour.

@philip-j, my opinion is the opposite. If anything, the remnant of the story more closely adheres to Wells' original literary version.

Ci son dei buchi di sceneggiatura immensi, o forse sono tardo io, aiutatemi a capire. Perché la loro macchina è l’unica che funziona? E anche tutti i mezzi militari e la nave? [spoiler]Perché alla fine i mostri si rompono tutti, si comportano “strano” e perdono pure lo scudo?[/spoiler]

Great first two acts, third act is a little weaker. Tim Robbins characters didn't work for me. A lot of great action and Tom Crusie running. Some pretty CGI and interesting alien design. Overall a very solid sci-fi film and one of Spielberg's more entertaining.

[spoiler]Why did Spielberg bring Robbie back. There was no way he survived. Kinda makes me a little angry. [/spoiler]

I love this movie, not overly into my science fiction movies as a rule but this one is definitely in my top 100 movies! Dakota Fanning's performance is flawless!

The film would have been stronger without the cliche "will the family be reunited during a crisis ?" subplot. As well as the unnecessary Twilight Zone like narration by Morgan Freeman. The weakness the aliens have is silly as well.
Otherwise the film can be haunting and have more of a scary and more realistic alien attack than the one in ID4.

A lot of plot holes (why waited the aliens so long to attack the earth, why has Ray to kill the man giving them shelter, why does Rachel make absolutely no noise when face to face with a Tripod but a second later can't keep her shit together over nothing, how can Robbie survive the Tripods, ...) and (at the most!) mediocre acting kill most of the potential of this H.R. Wells adaption.

I didn't remember the entire cast of characters being so pathetic and annoying. I mean who thought a shrieking 10 year was a good choice? Not to mention a main character that can't even take care of himself. The fact that he survived and managed to keep his kids alive has nothing to do with him. Ray is an absolutely horrible main character. Of all the versions of this movie, this is definitely the worst.
