Comments on: War of the Worlds http://strangematter.net/2005/07/11/69 If it's strange, it matters.

Without spoiling it for anyone, the ending of the movie is about as lame and disjointed as it gets. I almost expected the theme from the "Waltons" to start playing. Had the ending been as dark as the film itself, I think it would have been an instant classic, particularly with the imagery throughout the movie (some of which was disturbing). As for other criticisms, the close up shots of the aliens looked a little like images as seen through a Viewmaster, although it appears they were intended that way. And, like you, I have no love for a character who simply screams throughout the movie. Now, if Harlan (Tim Robbins) had been a cannibal and tried eating the main characters, that would have been a movie! I fully agree.
