War Of The Worlds VCD

chaotic acting from all, including Tom "Da Running Man" Cruise and sometimes effin' downright irritating screaming lil girls and pertulant teens that needs to be smacked (hard) in the face and the psycho-who-lives-in-the-basement (how i wished the alien discovered him and devoured his ass), coupled with a ridiculous (non) script (on par with the infamous Godzilla-fiasco) = makes this sci-fi-world-catastrophy-fest by Steven Spielberg barely bearable, but still watchable ~ not least coz of the fantastic visual effects (Independance Day-aliens notwithstanding) and that's about it really.

i've been wanting to watch this for quite a while (can't for the life of me remember why) but had only managed to scrape by with a secondhand $4 VCD - which helped not in the visual experience but i reckon it would've only helped a little bit more for this ham of a sci-fi-actioneer, which in any case would benefit from a alien-tripod leg slamming down hard on it and that would've made a much better movie-excuse for than this lemon. *pity*

*heh*
