Loved the movie. I think spielberg did a great job on this one. Really captured the feeling of the disaster.
So many classic shots, and angles.
Also, I loved how many really really long scenes there were that had no cuts at all.
I noticed this too, most action movies now adays have MANY many cuts, from different angles. But War of the Worlds had LONG scenes from swaying camera angles... specially in the basement with the aliens walking around
Yeah! great example
another was when they first get in the van. for such a long time there are no cuts.. as they get onto the highway, and the girl is screaming and stuff, it's like panning around and zooming in and out of the car
yeah true! another amazing scene...
yes #1 fav thing was the swaying camera angles, especially the ones shooting in the town in the beginning, shooting towards the sky, it felt like you were running backwards
