Critics consensus

“Steven Spielberg's adaptation of War of the Worlds delivers on the thrill and paranoia of H.G. Wells' classic novel while impressively updating the action and effects for modern audiences.”

This superior popcorn flick revels in the unabashed joy of blowing stuff into oblivion.

The story is affecting, the action scenes are thrilling, the issues are resonant.

RTChicago ReaderJun 8, 2007

Spielberg's calculations turn out to be more prominent than any effects they could possibly produce, and the less pretentious 1953 version by producer George Pal emerges as more likable.

If the 1953 film was set in a post-war context and fight against the Soviets, this one is set in the post 9/11 era that shattered the security and stability of the United States. [Full review in Spanish]
