Well… I went and saw War of the Worlds Friday and I am a little reluctant about blogging about it. Why, well… it wasn’t what I expected. I am disappointed by its lack of substance and the plot is full of holes that you could drive a MAC truck through. Positives? All I can say is that the CG and special effects are amazing (ILM of course, did an excellent job). However, the plot was very lacking for a Spielberg offering, yet alone a science fiction movie. I understand that the plot doesn’t make a sci-fi great, but the lack of one made this movie hard to enjoy. I felt like the plot went nowhere and I caught myself during the movie saying: What? Anyway, this movie gets my lowest rating to date a 4 out of 10. Out of all of the Sci-fi movies I have ever watched in a theater, this by far is the worst one yet (I can’t believe I am saying that). If you like CG and great special effects a lot go see it. If you want a decent plot line and some substance to the movie, then maybe you should save some dough and rent it on DVD when it comes out.
