War of the Worlds (2005) - my thoughts

Its all about the survival and emotions of an american family when a giant disaster strikes the earth. It's not terrorism or an attack from other humans. Its an attack that comes out of no where; may be aliens, but the word alien is not used in the movie. It ends with many humans killed and nothing happening to any of the members of the super hero family. They survive everything and meet at the end with all the emotion.
I love the movie for the action, graphics and all the sci-fi features. The killing of humans through the lightning like rays is just something to awe. The family emotions and the ending of the story are the ones that make you come out of the theater with disappointment pondering if speilberg is trying to tell the world something.
The movie has its own genre, thinking of how the movie was shot is just mind blowing!
Tom cruise has done his part well, even though I don't think this movie will add any extra credit to his acting.
Of the speilberg movies I'd give this one a C+ overall!
