War of the worlds Film Review

Aliens turn America into an abattoir in this intense Steven Spielberg movie. Tom Cruise stars as the dad trying to keep his estranged kids ahead of the wave of destruction

There is one moment in War Of The Worlds where fleeing people pause at a level crossing. Suddenly an express train blazes by, every shattered window billowing fire. That train is this film. By the time the end credits roll, you'll be in the foetal position.

The days when audiences kicked back their heels and laughed at the vaporisation of the White House in Independence Day are long gone. Ironic destruction is passé. War Of The Worlds has a pummelling, exhausting intensity, moving from mass extermination to private claustrophobic horrors, from the crowds crammed in train carriages in Schindler's List to the taut cat-and-mouse of the director's early Duel. The clichés of the event movie are stripped out. No love interest. No wisecracking buddy. No concerned president pondering the disaster. 'War Of The Worlds' is so influential in all its incarnations that the filmmakers have had to work hard to make sure you haven't seen it all before. Its a fantastic movie which definately made myself and partner jump its a must see movie of the year so far.

Four clueless wild animals raised in the jungles of New York, rather than Africa, who suddenly find themselves — thanks to an hysterical sub-plot involving penguins — let loose in the wild. Things get further complicated when Alex, the only carnivore in the gang — and who has no idea where steaks come from — starts to get a little peckish. I'm sure the moral of this film is meant to be that love and friendship will overcome all obstacles, but I feel the lesson got lost a little amid the American style centric jokes, which went way over the heads of my little sister. I suspect if you come from America, this film will be much funnier than it is for us here in England. It might also help if you're slightly older or a film buff like me. I was cracking up over one scene lifted straight out of the original "Planet of the Apes". But don't get me wrong, this is a very funny movie, which kept my sister glued to the screen. There are enough funny moments to keep most children entertained and plenty of pop-culture references to make the oldies and music buffs smile. The lemurs, voicea are absolutely hilarious, and the baby lemur is so cute it looks like one of those Furby things come to life.'I want one!' But in truth, this film belongs to the penguins. They are the reason for most of the chaos and the funniest thing in the film. In addition to tunneling out of the Zoo, they manage to hijack a container ship, crack the computer codes, sail it to Antarctica and back again, and for the one line alone, in the scene when they finally reach their destination, this film is definately worth a watch. Check it out.... Let me know what you think, Stevie x
