this came out the same time as Batman begins. A friend and I went and got a ticket to go see BB but something was wrong and we couldn't see it so they gave us a free ticket to see War of the worlds. I knew nothing about this movie i didn't even know it wasa bout aliens i was blown away when i watched it espicaly when the trip pods came out of the ground i was like WhAt ThE FuCk!!!
@DalekHunter1994 Yep, awesome track... but people go to the movies, watch a movie and sit to be scared, laugh or cry.... not get up and swing glow sticks. No movie theater seats in the Hacienda or in Ibiza Blue Rooms, either. Fair enough ;-)
Do you remember when movies used to be like this? Not all animated, the story was great, it actually looked real! I caint beilve this movie was made in 2005..its way better then the trash we have today.
@Mariofan14832 i bet in the real world, if we could re-create a contained solar flare or emp pulse any alien shield wouldn't stand a chance. and then let fly at them with all manner of explosive weaponry :D
In America, they run scared. In Britain, we just fetched the weapons used back in 1898 and kicked 'em off the lands. Japan probably got Godzilla to fend theirs off =P
@Xryan999X they did look cooler, but you can't substitute flying for walking... everything flies these days... i would be much more afraid of giant walkers with the ability to burn everything within line-of-sight... i still can't look at a water-tower today without thinking of a martian walker. (martin walkyier?)
the speilberg movie is perfect for cruise as everything revolves around him and is centre of attention. Bet he wanks while watchin' blu ray dvd thinkin' about katie.haha
I don't think Mammoth Tank armour would stand up to million Megawatt heat rays. The weaponary in Command and Conquer is near-future, so not greatly advanced beyond modern weapons. Remember the artilleryman said that our greatest guns were 'bows and arrows against the lightning'. The book was about human hubris being undone by a superior civilisation and served as an anti colonial tract..
The only Thor I can think of is a proposed orbital weapon that drops tungsten rods.
I noticed an error with this film. At the start everything that was electrical had stopped working. But when the machine pops out of the ground, there was a man filming it with a camcorder, but how was he doing that when everything electrical had supposedly been effected and not working.
EMP's do not work on electonrics that are shielded by thick or dense materials. the camera and video the TV crew use to show Ferrier the invasion is world wide are also working, as are the avionics in the fighter jets that attack the tripods.
@sashacohen900 To colonise/steal our resources. At the end of this movie it is supposed that we are spared and everything is ok... but in the original novel it's far more of an implication that 'they'll be back'...
@ShroudFilm Upon reading the novel, I dare say that there was no implication of them returning, that was provided by the Jeff Wayne album, which included some interesting twists towards the end to distinguish it from the novel. In addition they were indeed killed by earthbound pathogens.
berserker's reply was possibly delegated towards you in order to spread it to a greater audience, as was this one.
'A question of graver and universal interest is the possibility of another attack from the Martians. I do not think that nearly enough attention is being given to this aspect of the matter. At present the planet Mars is in conjunction, but with every return to opposition I, for one, anticipate a renewal of their adventure.'
It then goes on to describe how they should disable the large gun, and await more cylinders in the meantime.
@ShroudFilm in the novel the after the martians died on earth they ended up going to another planet, but I can't remember which one. Long time since I read the novel
aliens lol. they are fun to make movies abour but they dont exist and they certainly wont to want to star a war with us. why would they? star wars has the most realistic depitction of what aliens wpould be like. everyone, human, jawa, greedos, all living together in the galaxy. when they have a war, both human and aliens fight together. its not human VS alien.
Their machines were burried, not the aliens themselves. Basicaly, they knew they were going to need to colonize here eventually, so they left their machines incase they would need to do some exterminating when the time came. They were in no hurry. :)
@22esprince Therein lies teh silliness though. The weapons were prepared and ready to strike, then left to decay. Militarily speaking, you wouldn't just leave equipment to rot like that if you had the opportunity. Additionally, transport via lightning storms being availible BEFORE YOU EVEN INVENTED THE WHEEL is just plain silly. I understand artistic license, but some of this movie's plot was just plain overblown.
@TehComs Nah, there was nothing silly or overblown about any of it. The machines didn't rot? They were in perfect condition when the aliens arrived to use them, so I'm guessing the aliens knew how to keep the bugs out. Plus, what are you talking about 'before you invented the wheel?" Maybe they had the ability to be that before WE invented wheels, but they've obviously been in business a lot longer.
@22esprince It is implied both in the movie and in the original book that the Martians had no knowledge of the wheel, or had ever constructed such a thing. This is more the book's silliness than the movie's, but considering how advanced the movie's martians are to the book's own, this seems like a bigger problem. (Surviving a nuke is impossible) I know the actual aliens were never buried, just the machines, but that makes their preservation even more unlikely. Earth is a living world after all.
Whate makes no sense is why the invaders would wait for *so* long before attempting to take over the planet (since they've been buried for thousands of years). It would have been very simple for them conquer the world when humanity was still in its relative infancy. Spielberg was so busy making his so-called allegory to 9-11 that logic went out the window. Even using Well's original Victorian setting would have been far more interesting. The Tripods are the only good thing about this film.
@NativeMoon I agree with that actually, I don't really see why they would have wanted to stage an invasion now if they were already on Earth long before humans... the most logical explanation I heard was that they actually wanted to harvest humans as food, like a stopover on their way to a larger and more significant war, and so "allowed" us to evolve and multiply. Still very wobbly, as far as theories go.
@ShroudFilm - Very wobbly indeed considering how long they had to wait... and you'd think that there were already enough species in far flung reaches of space known to them already that they could conquer....
@ShroudFilm If harvesting humans was their plan (which seems to be the case) waiting makes perfect, in last hundred years the planets population has grown by about 5 Billion...that's a lot of extra grub
@ShroudFilm speilberg mesed up the plot. in H.G. Well's book, they were wting until their war machines and space travel was ready, then they would take over earth, because they were jealous
@lordxeras I don't recall such a petty human emotion as 'jealousy' playing any part in HG Wells' original - in fact, they had ruined the ecology of Mars and intended to colonise Earth as a makeshift replacement until they could do something about the wreck of their own homeworld.
Quite sure it wasn't about actually conquering Earth, only conquer IT'S conquerors (humans). What's so wrong with being just another malevolent alien race who plants their tools of destruction for use when humanity is ripe for the picking? Having PROBABLY(?) made sure their kind couldn't tolerate extended open exposure in Earth's biosphere, colonization was out of the question. Their passive attitude was justified, IMO.
An archetypical Evil from beyond the stars, really.
@NativeMoon As I pointed out, it didn't make a difference to the aliens. They weren't woirried about us offering any real resistance. They were in no hurry. The film was not an allegory to 9-11, either. It was an excelent film. Most people just aren't smart enough to get a movie like that, though
@22esprince - Spielberg *himself* said that he *wanted* the film to be an allegory to 9-11... as he said to quite a few media outlets and on WoTW behind-the-scenes features.
no part of this Cruisefest made any sense - HG would turn in his grave, although he would be astounded by the special effects - 7249xxl is right - why would the invaders not know about any harmful indigenous effects when they (for some daft reason) planted their dopy machines under what would (coincidentally) be major cities?
@garwento FFS people, does no one listen to dialogue in movies anymore? The machines had supposedly been there since before the evolution of man, and our acquisition of hereditary immunity to the specific pathogenic bacteria in question. Is it SO hard to understand that even if the invaders had sampled the ecosphere back then, they would still have no immunity to it by the time of the invasion? Sheesh.
@ShroudFilm That first part, the machines were their since before the evolution of man...what the frelling hell do their modern war machines look like after 200,000 years of potential progress?
@garwento finilay somone else who has some sense of logistics i mean they have 200 meter high machines whit heatrays arms and a scary sound and they make a mastake so stupid give me a break
@7249xxl I'm not sure that's QUITE how WW2 panned out, but hey! A better example would be the way that Europe suffered more fatalities from the influenza outbreak just after WW1 than they did in the war itself...
@7249xxl No, they die because the cellular structure of their bodies is broken down by the necrotic decompositional bacteria present in all of Earth's water and air. Another common misconception is that they died of the 'common cold' - that would be a virus, not a bacterial infection.
@ShroudFilm ow whele thats a good reson to die but yea in the film they sho wa year of death and destruction and then the died of what u gave as reson i mean should they knwo the first time when they set foot on eurth
@7249xxl A year? The entire invasion takes place within 2 or 3 days... in the original novel it was something like a week? The whole point of the story is that you can't just go stomping around the galaxy because things have evolved in a very specific way which means that the environment itself is hostile. It's an anti-Imperialist tale, which says basically that the biggest guns don't always win wars. I think we can all relate to that.
@multiversalpictures That's what I took from the novel too. I assumed they died from viruses, whether they were the flu, the common cold, or pnumonia which their immune systems could not resist. This is furthered by the fact that the Martians were intended to be a representation of how imperial-age Britain treated its colonies.
@Walalalala222 Of course, this is science *fiction*. The current idea is that the ray is an intense microwave beam, which causes evaporation of water so rapidly that it desiccates organic material in a flash of dust. Metal in the cars, buildings and so forth is disrupted causing the "pointed metal" effect seen in microwave ovens, only on a much more explosive scale.
I wish I could become a film director and make war of the worlds as it should have been! set in Victorian England! Just as horrific as the modern film though.
Wow people get REALLY anal, MY GO, IT'S... DIFFERENT! THE FIEND, HE SHOULD BE HUNG FOR NOT JUST GLUING ALL THE PAGES FROM THE BOOK INTO THE SCRIP! Calm down people, yes this is different from the book, as was the 1953 version. It's called an adaptation. It changes so that it may be relate-able to the target audience, and allow the some creative leeway.
@maiz304secondtry a movie on its own terms, its good. but this isnt war of the worlds.
war of the worlds is set in england, around 1897 (give or take a year or 2). it doesnt follow a man and his kids. ogilvy is an astronomer, not a retard in a basement.
its doesnt matter if its a good film. its shit cos it aint war of the worlds.
@lancetrophy its not "THE war of the worlds" but its the american version and yet it is not shit it is a good movie, this one and the older version....
I just kept hoping they'd come up with a better ending than "oh lol microbes killed 'em", but I guess they had to be faithful to the original story. So lame and ridiculous to think that such an advanced alien race which had put so much planning into an invasion wouldn't think of the danger of microbes on a foreign planet. Virtually unbelievable.
This is wrong in so many way, 1 it was set in LONDON! fucking americans take all our shite! lol
Those who dont know, War of the worlds was an old radio play, but got mistaken by many American's as a real invasion the play write had to apologise i have the original soundtrack and it is amazing in every way, Speilberg fails i was a fan after Jurassic park :( now this pile of shite...
@Thoufel Apparently a modern American movie audience wouldn't have given a damn about us Brits getting vapourised in the 1800s...
WOTW was actually a novel long before it was a radio play, obviously. And the music from the Jeff Wayne version is nothing to do with the Orson Welles radio drama. I don't think any Americans would have thought Richard Burton and David Essex were REALLY being attacked by Martians... :-P
@Thoufel dude, you are wrong in so many ways. google it up if you must, I didn't. war of the worlds was originally a book written by H. G. wells as early as 1898 (well, I admit I googled THIS one up). so it all originally happens in a 19th century scenery. decades later it was adopted both into radio and cinema. over a hundred years later it was hacked and butchered to an ugly death by since then the greatest asshole of all directors, Adolf Spielberg. it was set in ENGLAND, not just LONDON.
@Thoufel war of the worlds was a book from 1897 so dont go around tellin people it was the radio play although that happened in the 30s. and i like to pretend this is set in the uk , cant rlly tell the difference
it did not get bad reviews it has a 70 something rating on rotten tomatoes and they are very harsh critics, this movie got generally positive reviews, only negative things about it were the fact that it strayed away from original storyline thats it.
it got bad reviews coz ppl wanted it to be like the origanal story and instead it turned into a Tom Cruse ego trip.. tho the fighting machines are the best iv seen so far
It has to do with those who read and enjoyed the original novel. And I must say, it's a terrible adaptation of the book on most aspects. However, it's a great movie when it take it as its own little setting. Spielberg wanted to focus on a different theme (refugees) than the novel (the futility of England's might and Imperialism).
@ainmelover321, the movie was not bad. No one thinks so. But its nothing about the original story, aliens do attack in this one. But they are using a father storyline in this movie. And i can just say that compared to the original story, this is Bull)¤%!
My theory on the untouched clothing was that the people, being mostly water, were dessicated, the water in their bodies being turned to vapour and their tissues dying short of being combusted.
They aren't lasers - it's described as a "heat ray". This is science FICTION after all, don't go looking to apply high school theory to it...!
Infinite heat instantly striking a body which is largely composed of water could feasibly evaporate all water, resulting in the dusty disintegration effect.
Another popular explanation is that the rays are microwave-based. This explains the fireballs and concussion against certain surfaces, but not organic tissue.
it wasn't eerie. It's like the t-rex escape scene where it knocked a jeep in to a pit that miraculously appeared right where the t-rex had escaped from its pen in Jurassic Park. It makes no sense.
Spielberg has issues with this. The last war of the worlds movie wasnt that faithful, but this one is even more off key and wierder than before.
Non-Burned clothes flying off incinerated people. I just couldnt enjoy the movie after that.
@onigojira That could've been varying strengths of their rays, one which merely disintegrated living tissue, and the other that sliced concrete and metal.
They should have just had chuck norris. The us army got raped in the battle scene, chuck norris woulda strolled in a rolled the fuckin tri-pods with his bare hands.
I think the Hollywood version really butchered the original concept.
It should have been set in England and it should have been set in the time period it was originally written for. Humanity's naivety at the time was one of the key concepts and that really doesn't come across in the Hollywood version.
The aliens exsanguinate their victims, i.e. drain their blood. In the book, they inject the blood into their own veins since they have no means to produce their own. In the movie they seem to either feed on them within the hulls of the tripods, or spray the blood like fertiliser over the Red Weed.

at the end of the movie the tripods die of co2 om how stupid they almost killed our race and now they die of air
7249xxl 1 year ago
@7249xxl No, they die because the cellular structure of their bodies is broken down by the necrotic decompositional bacteria present in all of Earth's water and air. Another common misconception is that they died of the 'common cold' - that would be a virus, not a bacterial infection.

7249xxl 1 year ago
@7249xxl A year? The entire invasion takes place within 2 or 3 days... in the original novel it was something like a week? The whole point of the story is that you can't just go stomping around the galaxy because things have evolved in a very specific way which means that the environment itself is hostile. It's an anti-Imperialist tale, which says basically that the biggest guns don't always win wars. I think we can all relate to that.

@7249xxl they dont die of co2 they die of the cold from air and water borne die germs.
multiversalpictures 1 year ago
@multiversalpictures That's what I took from the novel too. I assumed they died from viruses, whether they were the flu, the common cold, or pnumonia which their immune systems could not resist. This is furthered by the fact that the Martians were intended to be a representation of how imperial-age Britain treated its colonies.

Walalalala222 1 year ago
@Walalalala222 Of course, this is science *fiction*. The current idea is that the ray is an intense microwave beam, which causes evaporation of water so rapidly that it desiccates organic material in a flash of dust. Metal in the cars, buildings and so forth is disrupted causing the "pointed metal" effect seen in microwave ovens, only on a much more explosive scale.
Get a rocket, fly to Mars, and ask them.

I just kept hoping they'd come up with a better ending than "oh lol microbes killed 'em", but I guess they had to be faithful to the original story. So lame and ridiculous to think that such an advanced alien race which had put so much planning into an invasion wouldn't think of the danger of microbes on a foreign planet. Virtually unbelievable.

@Thoufel Apparently a modern American movie audience wouldn't have given a damn about us Brits getting vapourised in the 1800s...
WOTW was actually a novel long before it was a radio play, obviously. And the music from the Jeff Wayne version is nothing to do with the Orson Welles radio drama. I don't think any Americans would have thought Richard Burton and David Essex were REALLY being attacked by Martians... :-P

@Thoufel dude, you are wrong in so many ways. google it up if you must, I didn't. war of the worlds was originally a book written by H. G. wells as early as 1898 (well, I admit I googled THIS one up). so it all originally happens in a 19th century scenery. decades later it was adopted both into radio and cinema. over a hundred years later it was hacked and butchered to an ugly death by since then the greatest asshole of all directors, Adolf Spielberg. it was set in ENGLAND, not just LONDON.

ainmelover321 2 years ago
It has to do with those who read and enjoyed the original novel. And I must say, it's a terrible adaptation of the book on most aspects. However, it's a great movie when it take it as its own little setting. Spielberg wanted to focus on a different theme (refugees) than the novel (the futility of England's might and Imperialism).
GorillaShower 2 years ago 2
@ainmelover321, the movie was not bad. No one thinks so. But its nothing about the original story, aliens do attack in this one. But they are using a father storyline in this movie. And i can just say that compared to the original story, this is Bull)¤%!

My theory on the untouched clothing was that the people, being mostly water, were dessicated, the water in their bodies being turned to vapour and their tissues dying short of being combusted.
kitchenaut 2 years ago
so their lasers blow shit up. vaporize us.. but.. our clothes are untouched? Its like they were on drugs when they made this movie.
onigojira 2 years ago
They aren't lasers - it's described as a "heat ray". This is science FICTION after all, don't go looking to apply high school theory to it...!
Infinite heat instantly striking a body which is largely composed of water could feasibly evaporate all water, resulting in the dusty disintegration effect.
Another popular explanation is that the rays are microwave-based. This explains the fireballs and concussion against certain surfaces, but not organic tissue.
ShroudFilm 2 years ago
you totally missed where I take issue with their lasers, which they might as well be, since they're just invisible rays that burn stuff in the book.
Look again. Its the clothes. I'm wierded out by the clothes.
onigojira 2 years ago
You're meant to be. Spielberg wanted it to be eerie.
Again, it's science fiction. Don't worry too much.
ShroudFilm 2 years ago
it wasn't eerie. It's like the t-rex escape scene where it knocked a jeep in to a pit that miraculously appeared right where the t-rex had escaped from its pen in Jurassic Park. It makes no sense.
Spielberg has issues with this. The last war of the worlds movie wasnt that faithful, but this one is even more off key and wierder than before.
Non-Burned clothes flying off incinerated people. I just couldnt enjoy the movie after that.
onigojira 2 years ago
Epic film fail. That was the other side of the road in JP - look on the DVD extras.
The people are not incinerated, they are disintegrated.
ShroudFilm 2 years ago
@onigojira That could've been varying strengths of their rays, one which merely disintegrated living tissue, and the other that sliced concrete and metal.

I think the Hollywood version really butchered the original concept.
It should have been set in England and it should have been set in the time period it was originally written for. Humanity's naivety at the time was one of the key concepts and that really doesn't come across in the Hollywood version.

Have you not seen the movie or read the book?
The aliens exsanguinate their victims, i.e. drain their blood. In the book, they inject the blood into their own veins since they have no means to produce their own. In the movie they seem to either feed on them within the hulls of the tripods, or spray the blood like fertiliser over the Red Weed.
