... but I found Spielburg's "The War of The Worlds" an excellent update.

I found its take to be tone accurate on war, technology, weapons, refugee panic, survival of an otherworldly threat, and personal choices faced in such an arena - even as a spectacularly entertaining cartoon.

Maybe I just like Spielburg's growth as a director - his ability to entertain and educate.

Tom Cruise nailed his character in this one - both funny and compelling.

my wording in the original post made it seem less so, intention was to say it was far from Gone With the Wind or any 5* movie (but still quite enjoyable)
