- It's mostly about suspense, and it does that really well.
- Cruise plays a rouge who can't make it in the domesticated world but does well in crisis.
- quite faithful to the book, but an Americanized version of the story.
- Spielburg draws on 9/11 to interpert how we'd react to an allien invation.
- Spielburg is paying close attention to how we justify things. There is a great sceen where the main character uses a line that was just used against him in a previous sceen.
- there are a couple of feel good 'hit back at the Alien' sceens towards the end, but this a very dark and depressing movie. Much more than Independace Day or V that both draw on the War of the Worlds concept.
- well worth seeing, but not a date movie
- Peace
