Movie Review: War of the Worlds

Rating: 5.0 out of 10

Review: This is a retelling of the classic War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells. The biggest difference is that this version is set in modern U.S. instead of turn of 1800’s England. The action is great and the visuals are fantastic. The story just does seem substantial enough for a good movie. The ending is kind of anticlimactic and doesn’t hold up to 21st century expectation of an action movie. All in all, a fairly good action movie with a plot that doesn’t hold up in the end.
