the ending is it something like the martians died because they have not developed a resistance against our earth's virus or bacteria?
-
the movie is done according to the original book. Blame the author instead.
-
hahahahaha
-
Izit? To think i tot of catching this show..
-
The shows sucks
-
the aliens have more than 5 tripods to begins with, but only 2 are destroyed and thats the end.. really bad ending.. storyline is like power ranger? human cant overcoime enemy, then team up attack, then enemy becomes weak and lose, and human wins.. typical storyline.. i wasted $8 on it..
-
nice ending! me going to watch it!

You smack of ignorance, you obviously didn't read the classic novel, which the movie followed quite closely, but then again that's no excuse to just shoot your mouth off on a movie that's so brilliantly crafted... do your homework.
The humans didn't really defeat the martians at all, the martians were doomed from the moment they invaded us, the movie focuses more on what it was like during the invasion then the invasion itself, but you haven't noticed.
In the novel, the martians have absolutely no knowledge of microbiological life as despite their advanced technology, never occured to them as they had never encountered this form of life, and their total lack of immunity meant that their bodies were easy pickings for microbes, though the odd thing was that they took so long to start dying but hey, it's fiction.
And the destruction of the tripods by the humans had little to do with the martian's defeat, they would have died in the end anyway, though their loss of shields (maybe they use biologically based power sources and hence were vulnerable to microbiological damage or the pilot just in his dying delusions, turned them off) and their dying pilots would have made the tripods easy pickings for the humans, that is, before if they don't crash them before they are destroyed.
If you were watching this in hope to see an ID4 like movie (which actually borrows ideas from war of the worlds, abbet done hollywood style), you certainly would be dissapointed for this was hardly every the point of the movie. If you haven't noticed, it isn't really an action movie, it is the dramatization of the novel which delves on a lot of topics like human nature and the reversal from hunter to prey, the character development from an inept father to who he finally became and the like, rather then just humans vs. aliens. In which case I would play Halo 2, Master Chief would just walk all over them.
Yes I wished they showed more scenes of us kicking alien ass but I think that would have diluted the movie somewhat, and there are enough of these shows done anyway. The last action sequence where the platoon took out the tripod with ATGMs was adequate...
If anything, this is the best alien invasion movie yet, for a long time. -

now i understoood...thanks there -
And the relationship between Ray and his daugther Rachel... that was fantastically crafted and extremely well done... especially towards the end.
-
1 part showed that humans are bound to be desperate in this kind of circumstances.
cruise's car combed by ppl,ppl killing n fighting agst each other for the car to escape frm the jaws of martians.cruise left his pistol on the road...1 fellow pick it up and start shooting ppl -
Well, that is the most original form as taken from the book.
-
*double*

I think throughout the movie, it was good but well the ending was weak. The explanation for the destruction of the tripods were at its best, lame. I do not deny the movie really got me interested as it progresses on but the ending is truly disappointing. To think the explanation was done by a narrator in 3 or 4 sentences, i think thats trying to pull a fast one.Originally posted by SingaporeTyrannosaur:And the relationship between Ray and his daugther Rachel... that was fantastically crafted and extremely well done... especially towards the end.
All's well ends well. But not in this movie. -
kind of scary to me i feel
but the ailen hand thing at the back is funny -
hum ji ah...haha
-
I think ending is abit like...."huh?"
I mean, you go to a movie, you will execept to see pictorial representation even if it is based on the book.
Using a narator to simply on the ending is like looking at a comic with batman about to kill the joker then when u turn over the page there is only one senetence, no picture, no nothing, just.....
"Alas, Joker is dead."
This gives the "WTF?" kind of ending.
Yes, the front part of the movie is great, the middle of movie during when Tom cruise hid in the cellar was sleepy then the ending is "WTF?" -
well, looks like a LOT of people don't know the history of this story
and they seem to wear their ignorance like a badge of pride
here's another bit of trivia... in 1938, Orson Welles narrated a dramatisation of the story over the radio and caused panic in the streets
oh well.. people, READ MORE! -
We are talking about the movie here not the book eh

the movie is from the book.Originally posted by octega:We are talking about the movie here not the book eh -
that's how the book went! the whole thing was built up to an anti-climax
anyhooo... acid test.. what did you think of Pulp Fiction...
i found that movie divided the viewers into 2 crowds... the "huh?" and the "wow!"
the "huh?" crowd wanted explosions, car chases, shootouts.. and plot was very low on their priority
the "wow!" crowd just needed a great story with great acting to be movedOriginally posted by octega:We are talking about the movie here not the book eh
