War of the Worlds

Wednesday night I went to see War of the Worlds with Patrick. I haven't seen the original in quite a while so I only remember bits. Patrick said there were scenes that were direct remakes and done well. The movie was very good. It had a great deal of suspense, even one scene with no picture at all and just some environmental sounds. The sound in this film was also amazing, lots of scene enhancing drops and such. Really made you feel like you were in the scene and heightened the suspense. There were a great deal of special effects as well, but they were done well and weren't overpowering. I highly recommend this film.
