Under Falling Skies delivers one of the tightest solo puzzle experiences in modern board gaming, with its dual-edged dice placement and multi-mission campaign offering far more depth than its small box suggests, though analysis paralysis and repetition may set in for some players.
2005 · Steven Spielberg · 117 min · Sci-Fi
War of the Worlds contains some of Spielberg's most viscerally effective filmmaking wrapped around a story that can't stick its landing. The first hour is a masterclass in large-scale terror filtered through an intimate perspective, and the tripod sequences carry a primal power that few disaster films can match. But the family dynamics don't fully land, the Tim Robbins basement sequence overstays its welcome, and Spielberg himself has acknowledged that the ending doesn't work. What's here is impressive enough to recommend, but the film never becomes the sum of its best parts.
