I just got back from the new War of the Worlds, and I will say that Spielberg's film is intense and spooky for the most part. The other parts have too much Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, and a heavy-handed Hollywood hogwash.
So, let me save you the $11 (or less I hope for your sake) and give you this link to the original
1938 Orson Welles & The Mercury Theatre radio broadcast.
Sit back, dim the lights, and enjoy this Scientology-free experience.
