A week ago we went to see War of the Worlds starring Tom Cruise.

This movie has attracted some criticism, yet we thoroughly enjoyed it. It kept me focused and involved, and at no time did I wonder about the time (which is usually an indication that I’m getting bored).

Some things were different from the original, but I didn’t feel that took anything away from the movie. The screaming of the daughter, Rachel, was tedious after a while and I also felt the ending was too quick but neither of these things spoilt the effect or the entertainment value.

Recommended as a must see.
