War of the Worlds

CriticsCritics: 73
AudienceAudience: 6.7

After astronomers detect a signal suggesting intelligent life beyond Earth, humanity soon faces a devastating attack that leaves scattered survivors in a strangely deserted world. As they hide from lethal machines and struggle to stay alive, they search for answers about their attackers and their motives.

My take

You may enjoy this if you prefer tense, grounded survival drama and human relationships over spectacle, similar to Falling Skies in premise but much slower; Not for you if you want fast action or classic alien-invasion thrills.
