Thesis
Since the 1938 broadcast of H.G. Wells' "war of the worlds" the face of entertainment has evolved to the point that we need more than a spellbinding story to meet our sensory needs, thus in 2005 Steven Spielberg turned the 1938 radio broadcast has turned into a special effects wielding, action packed thriller designed to keep people on the edge of their seat.
