Yes. Very intense. There's none of the winking fun of INDEPENDENCE DAY. Just Spielberg returning to his gift of scaring the pants off you.

But what was the most disturbing scene may not have been anything with the aliens or the tripods. It was the moment when they're in the minivan and society finally breaks down. Almost like a George Romero flick at that point. If Augustine was right in his observation that man is the beast with the angel inside, the angel done fled and is cowering in a basement somewhere as Americans realize that the chips are down and not getting back up - and in fact are incinerated all over the poker table.

And no doubt that's what it would be like in reality.

Yeah, if something like that happened, I certainly wouldn't be relying on the Better Angels of our Nature.

Yeah, "Night of the Living Refugees." Cruise's character was right in being worried about people knowing they had a running vehicle.

Well, I see the Left wing proganda has been effective.

Yes, that is exactly how Americans have behaved in times of crises like 9/11.

The Left always wants to portray America without any spine or character, like them.

How quickly you forget, lets roll.
