nano movie review
Oct. 8th, 2006 21:30war of the worlds, 2005, directed by steven spielberg.
great CGI. terrible, terrible movie. blatant inconsistencies right from the start (that was some EMP, even tom's watch stopped -- and yet moments later, somebody is filming with a digital camcorder), stupid "i'm a lousy father" storyline, too damn much screeching from dakota fanning, wholesale destruction everywhere juxtaposed with sudden careful exploration by a single tentacle proboscis eye and individual aliens in the random basement in which our "heroes" are hiding -- and not like that thing had any superior powers; no, it could only hear sounds above a grunt and whisper, and could only see in the same spectrum as us. how convenient. that way the humans could fight each other gruntingly for control of the shotgun with one cartridge -- yeah, that could have surely done the 4 or 5 aliens in. get the fuck out of my resistance movement, tim robbins. oh, and the aliens must of course drink and splatter human blood wherever they go. i could rant for some time about all the bad crap in this movie.
but i won't. i didn't care about a single character in this movie. i wanted them all to die because they were too stupid to live.
this movie sucked like a horrible sucking tentacle proboscis eye thing. and it wasn't true to the book. shame on you, steven spielberg.
