but is that it
Right your too retarded to read the thread yourself so here we go.
This is what i asked;
Spoiler: Show
What did stop them? Bird's? I thought it was some kinda bacteria :huh: at least thats what i had heard. Also when there in that basement with that old guy did anyone else feel that the scene dragged on way to long, the aliens searched for like 10 minutes then went, and then another alien came for another 10 minutes.
This is the reply i got;
Spoiler: ShowThey were stopped by bacteria which they didn't have any immunity to. I had the same copy as you but that's what Morgan Freeman was about to explain. The birds were just able to land because when aliens feel a bit ill they like to shut down their shields... :blink:
This is from the musical version but I think it is similar to what MF was going to say:
Quote:
Directly the Invaders arrived and drank and fed, our microscopic allies attacked them. From that moment - they were doomed!
:dry:
we have evolved on earth so are immune to common bacteria and diseases. something trivial like the common cold could be leathal to aliens and thats what killed them.

I dunno, it wasnt really my kinda movie.
Perhaps I was waiting for something more.
Maybe Teh Hype got me good this time, oh well...
:(
This what not a film about an alien invasion...It was a film about a dysfunctional family mending itself againist an unconventional backdrop.
Then why do aliens invade and nearly wipe out the entire human race if it's not about aliens invading :unsure:
WHY WAS THE CAMERA STILL WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!????
A: Product Placement.. and it wasn't the only one...i saw 2 in less than 2 seconds... his phone and watch..which wasn't digital?
The camera was working because it wasn't on during the EMP. EMPs only disrupt electric currents in use during their presence.
As a catalyst for a dead-beat father to take a serious look at his life and responsibilites.Quote:

The version I saw didnt have a very clear ending, stuff was missing,
teh cam from russia.
Maybe somebody can fill the obvious for me.
:D
In the end, they bled and "shat" Fanta Orange Soda and cured all survivors of thirst.Quote:

Just grabbed a dvdr from pisexy released by Cozmo, it's in the "trash" section cos it ain't a "scene" release but there's nothing wrong with it!
Cozmo has put a brilliant menu on the TC, I highly recommend this download.:D
WOTW sucked. I hate Tom Cruise and the horse he rode in on.
How come this isnt on ares yet?

Ares is awesome, can get some good speeds on it. Usually films appear on it fairly quickly but havnt managed to get WOTW yet :(
Well I watched WOTW last night and I'd like to add my thoughts..
I thought it was awesome. It was refreshing to see a sci-fi/horror/action film from the perspective of a normal guy, not a gung-ho have-a-go hero, in fact, Tom is only forced to become a hero in order to save his daughter..
I also liked the way that rather than overburden you with CGI, the camera quite often cut to the reactions of the characters to the unfolding horror, rather than the horror itself. When it did then show what was happening, it was all the more powerful. The effects, rather than dominate the film, merely supported the suspense and horror.
There was a very dark theme to the whole film, specifically the "harvesting" of people to use as fertiliser, for what we can only assume was some kind of Martian "terraforming" ("martiaforming"?), the sort of thing that is too often missing in "gung-ho" sci-fi.
The imagery was startling and disturbing, and makes obvious reference to the Holocaust and 9/11 in a number of places.
There could be no other sensible ending (other than utter destruction). There wasn't in the original story, and I'm glad to see that this one stayed fairly close to that. (No crazy computer virus bullshit). I'm surprised the bird-thing seems to have confused alot of people, although as to why the alien shields were down is anyone's guess...
The only thing that rankled with me was that the son survived. That shouldn't have happened. Oh, and I didn't understand the need for the plane crash, or indeed how the car parked outside the house was unscathed. :unsure:
Anyway, It was a bloody good thought-provoking film! :ph34r:
It's supposed to be a trilogy.Quote:

i thought a lot of the movie was just stupid like that crazy old man in the cellar lol
me and my mates were laughing n the pics when we seen it, because of the bit where hes driving the car through all the traffic and there just happens to be a clear path for him lmao
and when the house is totally wrecked but the car is outside perfectly intact, on top of the rubble rofl. :lol:
i thought some of the special effects were good thought and ive give the movie a 7/10 lol, my opinion anyways :)
wow. this movie was formulaic. Spielberg has already done this with "Duel" and "Jaws." average joe is minding his own business and then suddenly a truck/shark/aliens just appear out of thin air to chase him for no reason besides the fact that their purpose is to kill average joe. yeah nevermind that it's supposedly based on a great work of science fiction literature, it's really an "average joe gets chased" movie dressed up like sci-fi. some of the special effects were pretty neat, i liked the bit where the walkers are spraying the land with blood, and Tim Robbins' acting (as "Basement Guy") was pretty good. too bad that Basement Guy didn't fly a crop duster armed with a computer virus on a nuclear warhead into the alien mothership -- that woulda prolly made me sit up straight, rather than think "hmm, oh, more scenes of people getting squished, mashed, chopped, shredded, pulped, juiced, fried and grilled."
and Dakota Fanning squeaking and squealing and shrieking every 30 seconds... bleh. after a few minutes of that i was like "ENOUGH OF THAT, ALREADY. i get the idea, she's an annoying little wide-eyed cherub who's going to pee in her diaper any moment now. just please give my ears a rest."
i still prefer "Duel" and "Jaws," as far as Spielberg movies that are cut from the same "guy gets chased" pattern. those movies have a sort of psychological/emotional weight to them... it's easy to sympathize with the guys in those movies when they look back over their shoulders and go "oh crap, here it comes again. WHY ME???" War Of The Worlds is such a bummer, emotionally. its ending is so fake, so very very fake -- billions of people got toasted, yet "oh, look who's survived just by virtue of being family & relatives of the Tom Cruise average joe character." i don't think that's a nitpick about a piddly detail. i mean this movie's emotional gestures are an afterthought. the feelings conveyed by something like "Independence Day" may be super-cliche, too idealistic, but at least they're sincere... i may not agree with the idea that patriotism & multi-cultural harmony can save the day, but i can appreciate that Roland Emmerich seems to believe in what his movie is saying. "what saves the average joe's family from the aliens in War Of The Worlds? the power of his LOVE." is that supposed to be a joke, Spielberg? they're saved by good karma??? it just feels dishonest.
i think the emotional dishonesty of WOTW's ending is the same thing that Spielberg did with A.I. actually. there was a movie that was pretty good until the last 15 or 20 minutes, then it's as if Spielberg decided that the audience prolly needs a happy ending. so instead of ending it with the boy-robot destined to rot at the bottom of the sea, the movie turns around and says "relax! just kidding! Pinocchio doesn't really die, he gets saved by aliens."
Spielberg's by no means my favorite director, but i've seen enough of his stuff that i just know he could've done better than this. he could have given the audience a little something to laugh about, to cry about, and to cheer about... he's done it plenty of times before and he still knows how to do it. but instead, we get Earth turned into the best-looking CGI abbatoire ever committed to film and a tacked-on happy ending that doesn't seem sincere at all. technically it's VERY impressive, the movie looks great and the effects & action are alright. the family drama had potential, but it just didn't work and it's impossible to ignore.
what was so important about the birds in this film? i watched it 3 times and still couldnt figure out what the birds had to do with this movie
FFS!!! The birds were seen landing on the tripod, which showed that the energy shield wasn't there, and so the tripods could be shot at!! :frusty:Quote:

LOL this thread is funnier then then some of the jokes in Funny stuff :lol: I like reading busyman and peezry comments :D
In Ares I found WOTW but its by pot 2 prt you can find it quick by using the search word youmom
not to dig up an old thread...eh well too late for that now, but i have to say, the beginning was good, middle was good, i wanted that little girl to die so bad, just so she'd shut the fuck up....more annoying than anything in the movie, finally someone gave her some prozac, crack or icecream and she calmed down. the old man in the cellar was annoying as well, if i coulda bashed his head in with a rusty sledgehammer i would of. the ending was bad, i mean of all things "we can nuke em, shoot em, stab em, and drown em, but nothing works....hey wait...someone go piss on em, maybe they'll die from bacteria" on a plus note, the cinematics were great, very well done.
this film sucked so much. there were so many plot holes, it seemed to fall apart at the end.
Spoiler: Showlike when tom and that guy are having a fight about the shotgun but the 'tentacle' cant seem to hear it. you think they would have a sound input or infra red or something. also everything was a little to convenient, like when he was running in the shop at the beggining, the two people on either side of him get hit, but somehow they cant hit him.
Its A Movie.Quote:
