Ep 06-38: War of the Worlds (2005)

WAR OF THE WORLDS (2005)—As extraterrestrial invaders unleash their devastating tripods on Earth, a father (Tom Cruise) must protect his children and navigate the chaos. With groundbreaking visual effects and relentless tension, Spielberg crafts a harrowing tale of survival against overwhelming odds.

Join us as we journey into the heart of the invasion, dissecting Spielberg’s compromised direction and the film’s uneven narrative. From its pulse-pounding action sequences to its attempt at poignant explorations of human nature in times of crisis, War of the Worlds is a flawed film. Listen as Johnny Has the Keys contemplates why this reimagining of the 1953 classic does not work.
