skylord 1 #27 July 3, 2005 Quoteso the point of the whole movie is: Take your antibiotics before invading other planets. (hmmm.... didn't we kind of get the same message from Matrix.

If you are going to destroy a civilization and their world, make sure your virus protection is up to date!

Douva 0 #28 July 3, 2005 QuoteQuote This isn't a remake anymore than Romeo & Juliet would be a remake. It's a film based on a classic piece of literature; that's not the same as a remake. That would be easier to agree with, if someone hadn't already done it. I guess we could argue the toss over that one for a while, but doesn't Mr Spielberg have more creative things to do with his time and talent? Either way, I'm sure I'm going to end up watching the damn thing anyway... I'll stay up late and drunk one night, or catch a plane somewhere, and Tom Cruise and his inevitable little sidekick will be there. Waiting. I am aware of both the previous film version of War of the Worlds and the radio version (which I have a copy of), but that still doesn't make it a remake. "Remake" infers that the film is based on a previous film. This film is actually based on the same literary work as an earlier film; that is not a "remake."I don't have an M.D. or a law degree.

nerdgirl 0 #31 July 3, 2005 Has the flaming train motif appeared in other films? i found that to be the most powerful image. Reminded me of the massacres on trains between India & Pakistan after the partition and the British departed. marg Act as if everything you do matters, while laughing at yourself for thinking anything you do matters.

popsjumper 2 #32 July 3, 2005 QuoteSPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT- If you havent seen the movie you may want to skip this post. OK so I get the premise of the aliens burying their ships under the ground for eons but WTF was the point? And mankind never discovered them....not believable. Quote Cool special effects and the idea that this was taken from the the ideas of the radio broadcast in the 50..... Mr. Wells is disappointed in you. Pay tribute to Wells, not Welles. Quotedon't you think 2-3 days is pretty quick for and infection to kill all of the aliens? Not since they "arrived" all together - in the movie.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MNM604 0 #33 July 4, 2005 How about the fact they keep going towards the towns that haven't been attacked yet? "oh we made it out ok here, so lets go to the next place they are going to hit". Here is a hint, if the attack passes you, go the other way....Lets all get on a bit bright boat in the middle of the lake and go to Boston where everything will be o.k.
