You should go watch this movie. It's damn nice! I recommend this. Ray(Tom Cruise) is like so brave, always protecting Rachel(ray's daughter) and his son Robby(don't know if I spelled right). The show is so exciting!
Spoilers:
There is this part where he opens the door to go outside to find Rachel which had ran away because she is scared of the eye thing. Ray was chopping it up with an axe when Rachel went up(they were in the basement if I'm not wrong) and outside the house. He walks out of the door and see all bloody stuff around, like creep, growing all around the place. Rachel was no where to be seen, so Ray ran out to find her. But sadly he met with one of the big robot things(the thing that came to take over the earth! Haha). When he was in danger suddenly Rachel appeared. She saw the robot and screamed, the robot turned it's attention to Rachel and caught her.

Ray quickly chased after the robot, got it's attention and got caught to be with Rachel. At the end Ray killed the robot with some grenades he got just before he got caught, of cause, with the help of the other people that was caught he got out alive. They were like in this cage thing. And once awhile there will be this tentacle thing that will grab some random people in the cage, bring them out to the floor and suck they're blood out(creepy huh?). Ray was over Rachel protecting her so that the thing couldn't see her(so brave, he's such a nice dad). At the end they escaped cause the grenade killed the robot. But did I tell you there were many others some place else? And that time Robby wasn't with them, they seperated at another place before.

I guess enough of spoilers, I'm not really sure, so just watch it yourself, I probably don't describe well, though I know what I'm talking about. And Robby was safe at the end =D so is Rachel and Ray.

A must watch movie here, haha. Some parts are really scary. Especially the part with the eye scouting the place where they are hiding. And they are hiding with this guy(psycho, I hate him), for me, he almost caused their death! Did I tell you they showed the alien? And a few aliens went down too and the guy wanted to shoot em! Psycho! Overall I think Ray is the best, then Rachel, then Robby. You don't watch it you probably won't understand me, so go watch! Btw, there is the war of the world book and I think my brother got it, he read it before I think so, and the ending is the same.

But movie is always nicer. But it sucks really cause the guy sitting in front of me in the theatre, his head is so big, block out the words I can't really read anymore(I enjoy reading subtitles, chinese or english), if I could I'd sue him from making me stretch my neck to watch it, turn my head to watch it, argh, angry angry! I'm going to bathe now, got school tomorrow, lucky homework is done.
