I actually almost watched this movie tonight holy shit its reallly as bad as they imply, it's actually worse, but its got all these famous people in it!

I actually thought the War of the Worlds version with Tom Cruise was very well done up to a certain point. The tripods were pretty frightening, I love that bass boat horn noise they made, ominous. And that scene where they are driving away with the tripod basically exploding the entire city behind them and the bridge is flipping over was extremely well shot. Best city destruction snapshot I could recall seeing up to that point in almost any movie

(Spoilers or whatevs)

It’s unfortunate that the entire movie tanks as soon as we get that protracted basement huddle with Tim Robbin’s character. Man that got boring and weird. And the rest of the movie continues to go downhill to a logically ridiculous idea that some species so much more advanced than us wouldn’t have anticipated the concept of germs
