War of the Worlds (2005) is insanely kino and arguably the greatest alien invasion movie of all time.

The tripods emerging and turning people into literal dust. KINO
The train on fire. KINO
The ferry scene and the mass panic. KINO
The battle scene where the apaches come in with the angelic music playing ULTRA KINO.

That battle sequence is one of Spielberg's most thematically loaded set-pieces. Spielberg frames their arrival as biblical/religious salvation. Divine intervention when all hope seems lost and the myth of American military invincibility. Only for that moment of hope to be crushed and obliterated. And the biblical symbolism of the soldiers giving their lives to slow the advance to buy time for the civilians to escape. Mirroring Christ-like martyrdom for the sake of others. That even humanities technological might no matter how awe-inspiring is nothing compared to nature and the unknown.
