War of the Worlds
War of the Worlds. I finally got around to seeing it. I liked it, as I thought I would. But I am beginning to see the formula of a Spielberg movie, and not in the ways we have all noticed over the years. I liked his First Act, in which the end of the world is nigh and the emotional toll of we have no hope is gut wrenching. I wanted to hide in the rural hills avoiding crowds and the massive tripods walking everywhere. I wanted to scream at the soldiers at how they were throwing their lives away but cheer them on when they knew they were dying only so refugees could escape. I got into the shoes of the characters right up until they were trapped in the house basement. Then it went back to being a movie for me.

I finally saw War Of The Worlds last night at the good old Cape Breton Drive-In.
I felt the same way as you. The only problem I had with the movie was the last 5 minutes.. I won't spoil it for anyone though.
Now that I think of it, I had the same problem with AI.. except it was the last 20 minutes.
