Title: war of the worlds/tom cruise
Review: The movie,if you can put aside your prejudice about Tom, was very good. It was not a faithful rendition from the book. However if you are like me and can project yourself into the books you read, the movies you see, you will feel the fear, and utter helplessness of this situation. I was truly frightened by this. The movie has some ideas from the original book, has some ideas from the 1953 Pal movie, and a cameo appearance of Gene Barry and Ann Robinson at the end as the grandparents. They were the original stars of the Pal movie. The train scene really got to me of the hopelessness of it all. Where the heck can you go. There is also a second rendition as well this year.It is available on DVD and is real faithful to the book. A lot of computer graphics but well worth watching.
