The War of the Worlds (2005)
Save your time and money
I didn't expect a Hollywood blockbuster, but this is just too bad to sit through for 3 hours. I loaned my DVD to a friend. He thought that it was the worst movie that he had ever seen.
Today, I ran into the Wal-Mart employee that served me when I bought the video. At the time, she said that she was interested in buying it. I was going to tell her to save her money but she had already bought it and had thrown it away.
Within the first few minutes, I had a feeling that it was going to be much worse than I originally planned for in a low budget movie.
For the amount of time that I did watch it, our hero seemed to spend half his time running! Running and running and running, through woods, along dirt roads, etc, etc, etc.! The funniest scene that I saw was when the aliens first attacked the humans standing in proximity to the machine and as their bodies dissipated down to just a skeleton, it continued wreathing and rolling on the ground for what seemed to be a ridiculously long period of time.
Half the night scenes had more daylight than a cloudy day! There were many other things that made this movie just too much. However, I can't tell you just how bad it got since I gave up on this movie before the first hour was up.
I'm all for independent film makers and would like to support them, but I expect a half decent low budget movie, not a joke!
