Since I retired from work in January 2005, watching movies in the cinema has been one of my favourite time-killers. This blog contains brief information and some comments of the movies I have seen.
A story about human clones making a daring escape from the utopian-like facility to the outside world. Full of thrilling action set-pieces as expected from a film by Michael Bay. Unfortunately, the film is also influenced by Bay's other less desirable trademarks, including dumbed-down plots and unbearably sappy ending. Still, the film works well enough if not taken too seriously.
Starring Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, Tim Robbins, Justin Chatwin, Miranda Otto
Based on the novel of the same name by H.G. Wells, this Stephen Spielberg's movie is about an alien invasion as well as a family drama of a father and his two children. It is different from Spielberg's two previous famous sci-fi movies, i.e. Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, as the aliens in the War of the Worlds are hostile. With great directing, acting and visual effects, this is a really terrifying and scary sci-fi movie.
