Spoiler ahead - War of the Worlds.

Wee! Just came back from the movies after watching "War of the Worlds".

Not gonna talk much about what happened in the movie, but I'll talk about the gist - I rate it 3*** out of 5 stars.

The war scenes and human emotions in play were awesome - Curiosity that led the people to the spot that a lightning hit repeatedly, gawk at the tripod-like robots that came out from the earth, jump onto the only working car - Tom Cruises' and everyone tried to "hijack" the car for their own use, and eventually shooting at each other during the struggle.

Then there was also the man in the basement who offered shelter to Tom and Rachel (the daughter) and seemed calm and collected, but instead was already driven slightly mad by the onslaught and wanted to fight the aliens. He was ultimately killed by Tom because he was getting pyschotic and might attract the aliens' minions searching the land for surviving humans.

I'm gonna skip over the fights' descriptions and how they operated etc, so I won't spoil the movie for you, but all I can say is, the reason why I gave 3stars and not 4, is that the ending was too abrupt.

The aliens were apparently unbeatable and invincible, and they had planted the tripod machines below our feets since millions of years ago before human existed, yet they died within a few days.

They had millions of years to plan the invasions, and I mean, there's UFOs and everything right?

With the alien abductions and everything, I thought they had learnt enough to prepare themselves. But nah, the most intelligent and advanced lifeforms in the universe decided to bypass the most important factor that differs Earth from other planets. Right.

Not gonna tell what caused the aliens' deaths... But I guess you should know. It's the ending of all aliens - They either get destroyed by some uber weaponrys like the nuke, or they die due to ********.

I reckon Spielberg could have done a better job for the ending.
