yeah I own both of versions of War Of The Worlds on blu, I dig both of them too. I agree with you on Spielbergs version....I LOVED it ALL the way up to the end. (I won't spoil it, but that last scene---I think it was the last scene---just took me out. After everything ELSE in the movie feeling visceral and 'real' and grounded (grounded in sci-fi flick terms)....that last scene I didn't find so plausible...but you're right, pretty much everything ELSE in that movie was right-on-point, and gave ya that 'real' feel...
