I went with a friend to see War of the Worlds today and I must say I was very pleasantly surprised. My expectations were rather low admittedly, mainly because the last movie I went to see that was a remake of a classic sci-fi (Planet of the Apes) sucked big time.
Spielberg did an excellent job. He managed to give the movie a very 50's feel without being to overbearing. It kept me interested and I was involved with the film throughout.
It's a fun entertaining film and worth seeing in the theater. My only real complaint is that Spielberg ends the movie on a happy note (I would clarify exactly what I am referring to in regards to a happy note but I do not wish to give away the ending of the film). This is to be expected though as Spielberg is famous for this.

Trust me I'm right there with you,
you forget about all that about 20 minutes into the movie.

I have been formulating an interesting topic in my head exploring the idea that Tim Robbins character embodies the current mindset of our incumbent administration.
After I have run through it a few more times in my head, I'll probably post it here so stay tuned!
