I got this the night before last at Wally World. I think I watched about half of the movie when I turned it off. I am going to TRY to finish it this weekend.
Avoid this movie boys and girls!! I have seen many a suck ass movie over the years but this one takes the cake!!
I give the movie a little credit in that it is pretty faithful to the original source material. But that is where the credit stops!!
This movie contains:
Bad acting.
Horrid special effects.
Poor direction
Piss poor editing
I remember the old Doctor Who episodes looking much better than this movie!!
The upside is if you are a huge fan of War of the Worlds and can't resist this steaming pile of crap then you are not going to be out a whole lot of money! It cost me Eight dollars and change.
When I finish watching this craptacular masterpiece it is going directly to my "get rid of" pile!!
Take care all!!

Dmacsg1 and Breakfast with Girls are agents of Paramount!
Well, no, not really.
This really does look bad. It's tough to pull off a period movie or big special effects when you have no budget. Doing both in the same movie was just begging for disaster.

I like ID4, & i was quite aware that it was "inspired" by "War of the Worlds".
That being said, i really wish the new movie had been set in the past instead of the present day because now all i'm gonna do is draw parallels to ID4...since that was technically a modern day "remake".
Hmmmm....perhaps ID4 was made to "ruin" the good name of the Cruise/Speilberg movie.....8 years before it was ever released!!
