I CAN'T STAND TOM CRUISE.
That being said,
I LOVE THIS FILM!
This film is everything War of the Worlds tried to be and failed at. I'm stunned at how completely underrated it is. Only until I was able to see it for free on (God forbid) regular television, had I even known it existed. I'm a total snob when it comes to scifi movies and this one actually had me cheering at the end. Fantastic, unique and fresh script, amazingly paced and edited, superbly acted and never had me
bored for a moment. I highly recommend it. It should be nicknamed Edge of your Seat (cheesy, I know) but that's what it does from the opening title to the last frame. Awesome.
