War of the worlds

No complaints for this movie, it starts with a bang and is over before u can complain abt anything.
Except for Dakota Fanning's extra loud shrieks and screams at times, the movie delievers nice special effects in a perfectly crafted atmo/setting.
The best thing Tom Cruise doesn't overdo anything in his role. He wud proly never be remembered for this role, but thats the achievement, he plays a divorced man trying to save his daughter and keeps it very real (doesn't jump into war and start shooting the aliens :)

Very good editing, movie moves pretty fast. No drag at any point, no useless sentimental scenes. Its a sci-fi thriller for the summer.
