I think it wasnt justified...i have seen many renditions of war of the worlds...i think special effects were th best in the movie...but the presentation and story adaptation was just lame, and everybody in my group was looking for a refund...and we are sci-fi buffs...lol...

It's your total Sci-Fi flick. I thought it was pretty well done, however many people from the group I went with didn't like it all that much. If you think alien movies should be realistic, you probably won't like it cause they can't be :) The effects were well done and not overly used. I think it's definetly worth watching on the big screen once.
