(aka 'Out of the Night')
Directed by
Steven Spielberg
USA 2005
Every
once in a while I need a refresher course in why I don't watch a lot of modern
Hollywood films.
With all the subtlety of a train wreck, Steven Spielberg continues his infamous
Hollywood legacy, by continually appealing to the absolute lowest common
denominator, in his newest film, a remake of the 53' classic,
War of the Worlds (loosely based on H.G.
Wells novel). Following his previous core of manipulative cinema Spielberg
irresponsibly expands his gratuitous use of children and loud sound effects
announcing once again his limited ideology with an ostentatious use of dynamic
special effects that in itself is simply hollow. This is pure exploitation
filmmaking in the extreme and I suggest anyone even remotely titillated by this
film should seriously re-examine just what it was they enjoyed... and why.
Unfortunately stuff like this is easy to sell with the masses herded into
theatre's having focused on star names and having their heads turned by
coercing trailers filled with lights and explosions. There is nothing redeeming
about this production excepting its ability to remind me why I steer clear of
most of Hollywood's latest blockbuster efforts. This film, will do nothing for
you except shock you, scare you and desensitize you to excessive violence.

| Comments: |
The modern trend in DVD transfers is a saturated look with piercing blacks and an overall dark appearance. Film has moved to a very 'thick' look which seems fairly easy to put to digital. This anamorphic and progressive DVD looks very good and sounds even better with impeccable sound separation. The featurette held little interest for me, but that may be because I did not enjoy the film. I expect this DVD appearance is very akin to the theatrical showing. |
