Today I watched War of the Worlds at the Micronesian Mall theaters. I’ve always enjoyed Steven Spielberg’s movies, but this movie did not appeal to me. To tell you the truth, I was bored most of the film. I guess I just expected more from it.

It is a Steven Spielberg film, so the movie is decent to watch once. Its definately not one of those blockbuster movies he usually dishes out in mid-summer though. It lacked something. Just not a very great film. Im not sure if it was the lack of action or the generic dialogue. War of the Worlds just never delievers that emotion that you sense in Spielberg’s other classic films.

Synopsis:

Ray Ferrier is a working class man living in New Jersey. He’s estranged from his family, his life isn’t in order, and he’s too caught up with himself. But the unthinkable and, ultimately, the unexpected happens to him in an extraordinary sense. His small town life is shaken violently by the arrival of destructive intruders: Aliens which have come en masse to destroy Earth. As they plow through the country in a wave of mass destruction and violence, Ray must come to the defense of his children. As the world must fend for itself by a new and very advanced enemy not of this world, its inhabitants must save humanity from a far greater force that threatens to destroy it.
