Now I’m not one for dark thriller/Horror but this was one the best. I remember coming home from school and me Mam says “would you want to see war of the worlds with us on Saturday”. I said “yeah sure what’s it about”. Then she says “it’s about an alien invasion set in the modern day Australia not knowing about the rest of the world”. Then on the Saturday it came out and I was seriously not prepared for it as she did not mention how dark it was going to be. I mean that scene where the humans were in the baskets that creeped me out even more cause u never saw what they were doing in the tripods I mean obviously it would been gross to see the inside of the tripod but in away it’s good thing they didn’t so I am going to give this movie a 7/10

Using some hardcore Holocaust and 9/11 references, this is one of the grimmest “popcorn” alien invasion movies ever made.

That said, there is no denying it’s thrilling and often harrowing stuff, with Spielberg’s incredible craftsmanship on full display. The last leg of the movie doesn’t measure up to the rest of the movie, and stops it from being great, but before that it’s a gripping, sometimes horrifying picture.

The film itself is pretty good and was nice to see the 4K upgrade. The picture quality is hit and miss, some scenes are gorgeous, some are grainy, some are soft. The detail in places is lovely and items shining using the HDR. Not the best but not bad considering the age of the film. Film 8/10 4K 7/10

Fantastic work.

What’s happening about the 4k upgrade us got there’s U.K. hasn’t

So many things wrong with this film, CGI is good but the story line is so poor, check it out, you see people trying to escape but they're actually walking towards the explosions.

It just a typical father / son blah blah blah film and actually not anywhere near the actual HG Wells version, shame as this could have been amazing but Hollywood got their say

It's so bad i actually can't watch it due to the errors, drives me mad

This is an absolute amazing film to watch for all people😀😀

This has to be one of cruises lesser movies

An intense gripping film from start to finish! Definitely one of my top 10 films.

This film is classic ! It has improved greatly from the previous one and with the amazing acting by Tom cruise it is sure to be a nice sifi treat when at home :)

I love dis film so much it has a good cast and Rachel is a good actor

I only purchase movies in HD. Please if anyone from Dreamworks is looking please submit HD version.

Great but need it in HD iTunes come on this is a classic.

Brilliant film, but please make an HD version! :-)

Good

I am 12 and was 8 when I first watched it, I get scared evry time I watch it still, but it is my most favourite film. Only disappointment is tht u cannot rent! Too expensive only have 5£ left on my account 😰😰😰😰😰💦💧

This film is fantastic in every way (in my opinion) the reason for this is that the film is fast paced, lots of action, great acting and a brilliant storyline. Just remember this film is only 1hr and 45 mins long. Defiantly one of my top 5 movies.

SD is just so awful.

One of my favorite Tom Cruise movies, but why isn't it in HD???, I've got a projector so SD is just not good enough. Please upscale soon :)

I'd like to think SS put all the effort in that he could, I guess trying to get a great story for a movie of this length was always going to be difficult. Tom Cruise acts well, his kids are a little annoying (teenage angry man and very shout little one! - sorry Dakota ;-) but then that's SS for you, always centres on family relationships and troubles. You still get drawn in and enjoy the effects, which, because not in HD, already look a little less than perfect. I would absolutely buy at this price, you'll watch it more than once. Overall better than many films, not as good as others - middle road.
