amazing to think we`ve earned our right to live on earth, and to see the sort of desperation that would come with that sort of hopelessness, unlike most alien movies that show humans banning together to beat the bad guy.

This is one of the most amazing movies made! Amazing Acting, eye-catching speacial effects, and a good story. Some people didn`t like the ending, but I thought it was awesome! The ending didn`t answer all the movies questions, but i prefer it that way. What is fun about all the answers given to you? Use you imagination, and make up how the son surivived and how the aliens could plant those machines without dying in the first place! I also can`t believe people don`t like the acting in this movie. The daughter was amazing, along with Tom Cruise and the rest of the cast! The only part I didn`t get is why that camcorder worked at the begin

Awesome movie! For those of you who did not understand the ending, read up on the original by H.G. Wells and that will explain everything. They probably should have explained it better for the people who do not know the story...however, despite that...it was a great movie...Spielberg did a great job!

I thought the effects were FANTASTIC, it was like a roller-coaster...you almost felt like you were running away from the aliens yourself! Complaints: lackluster ending, and did anyone else notice the `technical` flaws near the start, when all the electronic gadgets in the world stopped working, yet a lone videocam that a victim (presumably) dropped on the street kept working?? What up with that???? Must have had "alien-proof" batteries or something!

This movie was extremely entertaining! The effects were incredible, and I thought it was very relistic aswell. Everyone complains about the ending, ok so it wasn`t that great. The entire 2 hours before the ending were incredible so stop whining. To those people who trash the ending, I`m sure even YOU were entertained. I totally recommend this for IMAX or theaters because it won`t be the same at watching it at home.

Very poor acting by Tom Cruiz. Not worth the money.

The movie was fine, but the ending left something to be desired. They ended the movie far too quickly with minimal explanation. Very anti-climactic.
