my thoughts…exactly!

OMG, this movie soooo disppointed me. I always thought that since it’s a Steven Spielberg movie plus it’s Tom Cruise, it’s a great movie. I was dead wrong. I want my money back!

The cinematography & movie effects were great but I find the scenes annoying & stressful, and the story, cheesy! If you’ve seen this movie, you know what I mean.

WHY?

My goodness! Dakota Fanning,Justin Chatwin and Tim Robbins’ role in this movie is what we pinoys call "mga PASAWAY." They annoyed me. Well, at least their characters did. While the whole world struggle for existence, they made it all the more difficult for Tom Cruise. Argh! Kainis! Na-stress ako, I swear!

Dakota Fanning, mag-tantrums ba? Justin Chatwin, pagpilitan ba to join the military to help save the world and make your dad undergo the stress of choosing who to save from danger, ikaw na ayaw magpapigil umalis or your sister na gustong itakbo ng strangers to safety? Saka Tim Robbins, mag-ingay ba, eh baka nga marinig kayo at balikan ng mga alien. KULIIIIIIIIIT!!! Mga pasaway diba?!

Next, the story was cheesy PERIOD

Everyone you’re running with dies and gets blasted while you run free. (I’m refering to the first encounter with the "tripods.") Then, your dysfunctional family all of sudden reunites, well not exactly pero at least nagka-sundo. Must it take an alien invasion to finally accept your father and call him dad when in fact, you grew up without respect for this man? Duhh talaga! Saka, how the hell did you survive that blast from the "tripods"? Hello??!

To top it all, there are lots of discrepancies. First, before the "tripods" appear, all electronic equipment stops working. (Electricity, phonelines, celphones, car batteries, etc…) Still, when the first tripod appears one guy films the whole scenery with a camcorder. Ganun din sa media who caught on tape how these tripods come down by means of "lightning." There is another scene where in the presence of the "tripods" didn’t affect the lights of the boat and of the port area. Ano ba talaga, kuya??! Sha nga naman, night kasi, baka hindi sila makita. Madilim. HEHE

Second, if the aliens want our blood for survival, why all the blasting? Duh??? What was really their purpose? Do they need our planet kaya they want to exterminate us or they need our blood to survive? O wala lang, type lang nila tayo "warlahin" HAHA

Third. The blasting. While everyone gets blasted and turned into ashes, their clothes remain intact, well, a bit torn. There was even a scene where it was raining…clothes from those who got blasted. Baduy! Kainis.

Nagustuhan ko lang yung narration ni Morgan Freeman.

Funny nga I overheard sa CR a group of girls na galit na galit din coz they were disappointed as well. Hay, naku, if you haven’t seen this movie, WAG NA! c”,)
