    The alien-invasion in this movie is incredibly unrealistic, but the film is terrifying in its suspense. If you like to be scared out of your wits: go see it. If you prefer adventure sci-fi, spare yourself the money. I hated it.

    i think that this is THE MUST SEE SUMMER MOVIE OF 2005. it had action, story, crazy visual effects, ONE AND ONLY STEVEN SPIELBERG and TOM CRUISE. what a combo. what else can you ask for??? great POPCORN MOVIE. the ENDING IS KIND OF A LETDOWN but nonetheless its a GRRRRRRRRRREAT MOVIE. don`t MISS IT.

    Great movie! I almost did not see this movie because of some of the naegative comments, but went anyway and glad I did. It is a gritty movie, not light and entertaining like Independence Day, but the futility and desperation made it almost like a documentary of some horrible event....it`s too fantastical to make it seem real to our senses...but it`s not the kind of movie that thrills you with delight, it makes you think and wonder, it`s horrifying and terrible to imagine....very, very, well done, superb, can`t say enough....

    The ending is reasonable but surprisingly short. I guess it makes all the space evasion impossible eventually. Special effect is great and shocking. And although Dakota Fanning`s screaming is a bit annoying, I guess that`s the reality if things in the movie happen in real world. :D

    A good modern variation on the H.G.Well`s story. Unlike the 1952 movie, these martian machines are much more like the descriptions in the original story. As an aside, when the first machine stood up in this movie, I could have sworn I saw a puff of steam. It didn`t look fake but I`m sure Well`s would have related to this. Story wise this movie is on parr with the 1952 version. Special effects wise it is much better.
