Steven Spielberg’s ‘War of the Worlds’: A Rare Great Sci-Fi Action Remake

Spielberg’s films have a unique characteristic: he’s often so good at what he does that his adaptations or remakes become more famous than the original works. For example, many people think of the 1993 movie Jurassic Park before they think of Michael Crichton’s book. This also happens with Jaws and, for some, Ready Player One. In 2005, he remade a classic science fiction novel and created what many consider to be the definitive version. Though some viewers have differing opinions about it, the film has steadily gained a following, and other filmmakers have tried to follow its lead, solidifying its place in film history.
