Reading it once would help. It's a good read, even if you don't read often (Like me), and it's relatively short. Not a huge book.

Saw this yesterday and i loved it. Awesome movie. Scary. Suspenseful. Action-Packed. Great Acting(the little girl, and i thought Cruise did a good job aswell). This movie was so exciting and scary, i loved every minute, and i know a sequel would ruin it, it just want more. It left me begging. The sounds were also insane, this movie would never be the same on a normal tv, the surround sound does wonders with this movie, and i didnt even notcie the whole music thing. eek: All around excellent movie, 8.5/10. One of my new favs.

I think the biggest oddity of the whole movie is the fact that...


SPOILER

Having placed machines under the ground hundreds of years before a town or city was built, why wouldnt you have just conquered earth back then? Why wait those hundreds of years when you'll have to "fight" for it. I can understand that maybe the population wasnt enough to grow the weeds, but why let it grow to such an extent that you come down and end up killing 60%+ of them.


Good movie still. Though the chick did get on my nerves in the first few parts. Guess thats just a testment to her good acting.

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"

i think they were being used for fertilizer.

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.
