It is one of the most awaited movies of the season. And I was going to watch the film in one of the best cinema halls – Europa hall of PVR Cinemas, Bangalore. Naturally, I was excited.
If not for the great movie-watching experience offered by PVR, I would have been terribly disappointed! You might have already read/heard about everything that is to be known about War of the Worlds.
For me the only plus point was the child actress Dakota Fanning.
While watching, I actually accepted the movie as a real good one. Especially loved the special effects shown in the first half. My alter ego was telling me “Hey something is really wrong about this movie dear!” But I brushed aside this comment as the habit of an overly criticizing cynic.
Then we came out of the hall and my companion exclaimed, it didn't look like a Spielberg movie. And there I was…facing my triumphant alter ego… who, true to her womanly habit, was shrieking “I did tell you, didn’t I?” Yeah Right!!!
What War of the Worlds lacked is the Spielbergian-touch!
If only we didn’t know in advance that it is from the great filmmaker….
If only we didn’t have so much of expectations…
My alter ego promptly reproaches me “Stop taking the if-only-path! Its over.”
