I saw War of the Worlds this morning.
It was a great film although I thought the ending was a bit lame,. although more believable probably than flying into the centre of a fleet ‘Independance Day’ style and uploading a virus.

I will say no more in case you have not seen it yet.

The film is worth going to see. It reminded me of the fragileness of humankind and the strength of the parent child relationship. There is a good scene where true love needs to be displayed by a letting go, even in the face of certain disaster – maybe there is a slight prodigal theme here?
