I hadn't seen the previews to this movie, I had however heard the radio broadcast from 1938. Going into the movie I was expecting something similar to the broadcast (i.e. epic battles and gas attacks) unfortunately it was completely different.

The characters were terrible, cliche bad dad, cliche stupid girl, cliche rebelious male. Tom Cruise had many 'Tom Cruise' moments, the girl played just about every cliched idea of kids in movies. By the end of the movie I was hoping all the main characters would be killed off for being stupid.

It appeared to me atleast that sets were recycled (notice how all the basements look the same (pay special attention to the stairwell)

As everybody else has mentioned, the CG and audio was great, but thats all that was great.

In short I was hoping for an epic government/military counter-attack against the tripods, but I got a 'character development' movie with a cliche happy ending.

Overall: 1/5
