As has been pointed out' date=' the aliens use an electro magnetic pulse to disable all electronic items prior to their first attack. And yet in the first destruction scene we witness a guy operating a camcorder. He's not just a background character either -- Spielberg frames one of his 'clever' shots around the device."[/i'] Found on: http://www.hollywood-elsewhere.com/ So it really was a flaw. WTG Speilberg. Reminds me of when that kid survives the electric shock from the fence in Jurassic Park. You know, the same fence that's supposed to hold FUCKING DINOSAURS.

I'd go read the book for all the people if you didn't like the movie. You'll like the book a lot more. that is.. If any of you actually READ books.

July 3, 200519 yr The noise the tripod machines makes is fucking m3n I thought it was a great movie just to see shit getting chucked around and people dying. The way the people blew into dust was sweet. I liked the movie and John Williams did it again and made it sound pretty bloody good. But the main thing that was so gay was if the Machines were buried millions of years ago, why the fuck wait until when human technology is better to finally destroy the earth, and if it was millions of years ago, how did the aliens know where the major cities would be in the next million years, like they happen to bury one right in new jersey? what a cowinkydink!!! Did they wait to break out a million years later because there would be more humans to make the blood-weed stuff? Is that explained in the book at all?

[i probably don't know what i'm talking about so feel free to ignore this post] Tbh, i think you're expecting too much, see all this shit about minor flaws is gay, i haven't personally seen the movie, so i don't really know what i'm talking about, but i've heard people bitch about stupid things like: "When the EM pulse knocks out all the fucking cars, electricity, phones, watches, etc. how did the tourist's camera remain operational so that he can film the tripods???." I don't find that stuff makes the movie any less good, like Star Wars III for instance the plot and diologue was shit in that so i have a reason for hating it, but WOtW's sounds decent enough so why the need to get annoyed over stupid stuff that doesn't actually matter. As i said, i probably don't know what i'm on about so feel free to call me a homo or whatever comes to mind.
July 3, 200519 yr I wonder what the other ones would be about ? I've read the book, but- I'm not really sure what a sequal or prequal would be covering? Any of you know if there's anymore H.G Wells wrote about the WoftW series? remember that guy in the movie who gives cruise and his daughter shelter in his basement (he's married to the commie susan surandon) he said that this is the first wave of attacks and that more will come later. so i'm guessing if they are going to make another one, that will be its premise. but it was stupid how the narrator just said that the aliens were doomed the minute they stepped on earth, i don't get what actually doomed them and i'm not sure if the book explains it. did anybody get what doomed them?
July 3, 200519 yr did anybody get what doomed them? bacteria I saw it, thought it was pretty good. Never read the book so I didn't know what was going to happen.
July 3, 200519 yr if you're implying that war of the worlds was too hard to understand than you must have an IQ below what is even considered retarded.
July 3, 200519 yr the aliens get killed by our planet's bacteria... that is all. this is hollywood, so dont look anything more into it
July 3, 200519 yr SourceX']i actually liked it a lot up until the end, the son should of stayed dead, and they should have extended it even just 30 minutes to have mor resolution, explain some more in detail about the aliens or the history of it, ect. the little girl was annoying, but she was supposed to be, thats how her character was in the book as well, we had people getting pissed and yelling stfu at her in the theater tho, was sort of funny. the fact we didnt actually defeat the aliens ourselves sucked some too, they just died and it was over, humans didnt have to do anything, BUT they could of, as was shown from what tom cruise did and what they said the gooks had done to stop some of them, which is why i say if theye xtended it for 30-45 more monutes, and elft the son dead, it would of been good. i havnt read the book myself, but a couple of friends who have said the movie follows it almost exactly. The sond DEFINATLY shouldnt have been alive in the end, as soon as he ran off he blew up, i dont understand how he kept going. other than that i thought the movie was great. i LIKED the fact that the aliens caught our AIDs and died from germs, it makes it more real. the aliens catching AIDs is alot more real than tom cruise finding some elaborate way of killing them. (although he killed one when he was being sucked into the anus). i also thought the imagry was amazing, the part where the little girl has to piss and shes down by a river and a body flaots by her...than like 100's of bodies float by, or when tom cruise gets picked up by a tripod and how all the people are trapped in those cages. itohught it was awesome and will definatly being buying the dvd when it comes out.
July 3, 200519 yr i didnt get the ending because the shitty copy i downloaded cut out like 10 secs before the credits so i missed the little explanation at the end
July 3, 200519 yr loved it but the ending sucked there was to much left unexplained also there was just a huge gap from wen they escape the alien ship then go to boston first the aliens are kicking ass then they all start dieing they dont say why either i hate making ussumptions in movies that are supposed to be awesome.... Steven you did a bad job on this one! and for the record Star Wars Ep. 3 sucked to
July 3, 200519 yr Techno_Warrior']if you're implying that war of the worlds was too hard to understand than you must have an IQ below what is even considered retarded. LOL Yeah. It wasn't hard to understand at all. The plot was so freakin simple. It was just that aliens invaded us, that's about it. I thought it was ok but not Spielberg's best work by any means. I felt there should have been more depth, possibly more storyline. Typical Hollywood movie: All special effects and a weak storyline. Also, now when I see a Tom Cruise movie, all I think about is his crazy scientology.
July 4, 200519 yr loved it but first the aliens are kicking ass then they all start dieing they dont say why either i guess they mustve got you retards out of the theater and back on the short bus before you could finsish the movie. it is very clear WHY the alens start dieing, the narriator explaines in perfectly. THEY CAUGHT AIDS! and to the people who wanted an more in-depth story line: they would have had to shot the movie in someone elses point of view, not in tom cruise and his spoiled familys. i thought the story line was enough, thats what would happen if YOU or some other normal family experienced an aliean attack, youd run! it would suck if they made this regular guy tom cuise defeat all the aliens with his crane and car knowledge. it would make it more cheesy.
July 4, 200519 yr this movie was awesome, i loved it i only wish they had of shown us the battle that was happening over that hill top, but the battle was kind of implyed, and u did see the shooting and the missiles which made it just ok for that part but yeah totaly sweet movie
July 4, 200519 yr How did the aliens catch AIDS though? From what I can remember you have to have sex without a condom, or put the AIDS effected blood into the other persons bloodstreamto catch it. The only rational possibilities that at one point the aliens were having sex with humans then having sex with eachother.
July 4, 200519 yr I haven't seen the movie... How did the aliens catch AIDS though? From what I can remember you have to have sex without a condom, or put the AIDS effected blood into the other persons bloodstreamto catch it. The only rational possibilities that at one point the aliens were having sex with humans then having sex with eachother. Hmmm, (as stated before by someone) , maybe they caught it from cruise when he was shoved in the aliens anus. And then that alien got it on with a bunch of other aliens.

The only rational possibilities that at one point the aliens were having sex with humans then having sex with eachother. if you missed that part where the alien tripod stabbed some guy and drained his blood than you missed a very important part, also the part when they were picking up the people and not killing them, instead they were being harvested. This was about 2/3 into the movie and the tripods were probably running low on juice and needed human fluids for sustenance. The aliens overlooked the fact that america had become a disease ridden cesspool, and possibly other places in the world such as Africa, the maritimes in Canada, Sweden and India, so in the end they all caught all sorts of fucking diseases and died. The ending which had the narrator explain briefly, in a nutshell what happend, and the camera zooms into the droplet of water almost makes it seem like human beings are nothing but another kind of lifeform in the vast universe and are indeed totally insignificant.
