Yeah, I questioned that too. In the book Wells just has the tripods and the aliens in them come down all at once.

The only thing I can figure is that the aliens weren't ready to make an assault yet, when they buried them. "They've been planning this for a million years"

they shot their blood and shit on all of the surrounding areas. But what was that for?


Why did they implant these 'vehicles' in the ground millions of years ago. They just came and said, "Oh hey, I don't like the look of it here. Let's go and come back later." It doesn't seem to have any logic to how they put their vehicles there millions of years ago and then just appear for no apparent reason.

one thing that didnt make sense, and was in the damn trailer:
Theres a point where someone mentions that every single car has stopped working. Then At the end, tom cruise escapes with his family in a minivan...... eek:

The tripods coming up from the ground is more suspensful then them dropping from the sky.

Have you seen the fucking movie you bleeding cock?

It explains very clearly why their van works - IN THE MOVIE, what do you expect from the trailer? That they explain the entire movie in full detail?

....and If you missed that while watching the actual MOVIE then you shouldn't watch movies, you should be playing with fucking alphabet blocks learning basic skills you stupid urine capsule.

Jin-Roh 07-05-2005 04:04 PM
Yeah... Because Tom Cruise knows everything about cars. biggrin:

Tom Cruise's neighbor is repairing the minivan so it still works after the magnetic storms. The neighbor finishes repairing it right before he gets zapped by a tripod.

Technically you quoted tripper, and was replying to him. If you wanted to remark on Coma's post alone quote Coma, not Tripper quoting Coma

Just watched it tonight, i wanted to smack the shit outta that fucking kid 5 minutes into it. It was the usual part 10 year olds play in these kinda movies, scream a lot, and be a pain in the ass. Besides that it was pretty good.

Sirus 07-08-2005 10:34 PM
man, if that kid had stolen my car, i wouldnt of cared wtf was going on, i would of saved a little bit of anger for him

mr.miyagi 07-09-2005 08:59 AM
i'm not reading any of this thread in case of spoilers but news on Fantastic Four is out:

"The really good superhero movies, like Superman, Spider-Man 2 and Batman Begins, leave Fantastic Four so far behind the movie should almost be ashamed to show itself in the same theatres.

It's all set-up and demonstration, and naming and discussing and demonstrating, and it never gets on to telling a compelling story.

Sure, there's a nice sequence where 'The Thing' keeps a fire truck from falling off a bridge.

But you see one fire truck saved from falling off a bridge, you've seen them all.

The Fantastic Four are, in short, underwhelming."
