War Of The Worlds

[MacGuffin]

Well i was thinking that the photo of Tom and the extras looking stright ahead most likely at an alien ship. Kinda looks like the same scene from Indep-d.

Or it could be from:

damn, that still just convinced me to go buy the dvd of close encounters

[MacGuffin]

Super Bowl TV spot here.

I like the fact that Cruise seems to be playing an everyday man as oppose to some badass super agent or something. It makes it seem more real. Especially the act that hes driving a minivan. This has potential.

This will kick ass... they are still not showing much which its fantastic

[El Duderino]

I wonder if Manny gets in or dies. Decisions, decisions....

that is EXCITING. THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE[/color]

I actually feel as though I'm a little boy right now.

If I had been a little boy when I saw that, I would've physically died. My body wouldn't've been able to absorb the excitement. Holy SHIT.

that looks like a monty python poster.

which is itself a reference to the Ben Hur poster.

hah, yeah i felt it too. spielberg will own this decade, as he owns the last three.

yeah less is more is cool.  cool that people who dont know what war of the worlds is wont even know there are aliens or anything in the film.

[Alethia]

yeah, that was a damn arousing teaser...those shots with dakota fanning are fucking creepy

[Ghostboy]

FINALLY. A good Dakota Fanning movie! What sort of psychological problems does she have that she can look so utterly terrified so perfectly, as she does in that masterful shot in this trailer?

[RegularKarate]

I'm just repeating what's already been said, but that is a DAMN good commercial.

So simple, yet so provocative.  And Fanning handles scared real well.  She got me a little freaked.

And yeah, even from just the few lines Cruise utters in this (before he even got into the mini-van), I felt he was a normal, everyday Joe.

This tv spot is really brilliant.  It shows so much without showing much at all.

I hope the aliens don't look all cheesy though. That could ruin everything.
