(07/01/2005, p.4E, Claudia Puig): "Steven Spielberg's summer blockbuster has knockout special effects, masterful cinematography, and terrifying and suspenseful sequences. Its explosive, non-stop action brings to mind SAVING PRIVATE RYAN's indelible opening battle sequence."

| Pros |
Tom Cruise, great sci-fi, incredible special effects, scary |
| Cons |
The kids |
| Bottom Line |
A throwback to all of my favorite sci-fi movies--genuinely creepy with a solid story, awesome special effects, and a great performance by Tom Cruise? This is a keeper. |

| Pros |
Dakota Fanning |
| Cons |
Everything else |
| Bottom Line |
It is a Spielberg movie which is not upto the mark he created. Tom Cruise literally got overshadowed by the tripods. I can not recommend this movie to anyone. |

| Pros |
Genuinely frightening, believable, sound FX, story |
| Cons |
Second half perhaps not as sound as first half |
| Bottom Line |
Chilling, and as realistic a film about alien invasion as you are ever likely to get. A gruelling experience from start to finish. |

| Pros |
Fast action pace; Dakota Fanning and Tim Robbins |
| Cons |
The screenplay; Shallow, empty characters |
| Bottom Line |
This is far from being Spielberg's best work but it's good enough to watch just once. |
