War Of the Worlds

If you like the science fiction type of movies this movie is good for you. This movie deals with Robots controlled by aliens and the whole world is getting attacked by these huge robots."The film is designed both as an adaptation of the seminal H.G. Wells novel and a tribute to the 1953 classic produced by the legendary George Pal. The setup introduces us to New Jersey dockworker Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise), a dimwitted cretin with an ex-wife who laughs at him, a teenaged son (Justin Chatwin) who hates his guts and a nine-year-old daughter (Dakota Fanning) who by turns condescends to him, hyperventilates and emits a horrifying banshee wail. Ray gets the kids for the weekend, and in a deft ten minutes or so we learn everything we need to know about the family dynamic. And then all hell breaks loose."
