Its amazing what you accomplish with a creative script, even on a limited budget.

"War of the Worlds" isn't going to win any awards but its nonetheless still quite entertaining.

The notion of the whole alien invasion playing out from the control room of a US NSA surveillance agent, is novel, as is the manner in which everything is nicely brought together. The acting is decent too, so no complaints there, either.

Perhaps the only limited downside is the special effects, which are only passable. That said, they still function well enough, to make the whole thing enjoyable.

In summary, a simple but watchable sci fi experience. A nice distraction for a wet weekend.
