Sham Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 I saw this movie a few days ago. I thought it was great. A lil more gore then needed. Any one see it? Post comments! Quote
HerLoss Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 I havnt seen it, but I listened to a copy of the bbc broadcast they did way back when, and I though that was pretty good. lol. Quote
Spaceman3750 Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 My friend's dad aired a radio version on Holloween night one year, it was so good that people were calling the police asking for protection from the aliens. Quote
awesomegamer Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 seems interesting, but it strongly reminds me of another movie, i just cant remember, but it is familier. Quote
nilayz Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 I saw that film yesterday, and it was like a mental torture for me. It seemed that some portions were copied from Independence Day, Day After Tomorrow and Anaconda. The story line was pretty weak (almost no story) and there were also a number of goof-ups. I noticed a few of them: 1. After the lightning, i.e. before the (Aliens-on-Tripods) AOTs appear, all electronic equipment stops working. Still, when the first AOT appears, one guy films the whole scene with a camcorder!!! EDIT: Okay, there's something called EMP, which "Teh Owner" told me... so prolly this is not a goof-up 2. It is shown that the AOTs use human blood as food and fuel. Okay... understood. But where they were all this while? I mean, how did they survive for all these years without human blood?? 3. That Anaconda-look-alike search robot is such a sophisticated machine... it had a self-opening lens cover, probably a 20 megapixel lens with auto-focus and two light souces beside the lens... and Tom Cruise fools it by showing it a mirror?!?!?!? Come on, they already know everything about light and optics, and they don’t know about a mirror? 4. Even after the huge disaster which happened around Ray’s wife’s house (even an airplane had crashed), there was a perfect road paved for their car to move freely. 5. What was the ultimate motive of the AOTs? Suck the blood of each and every human on the planet, and then.....? Then, what? Or turn them into slaves and take them home to work without wages?? 6. Why were the AOTs making such grumbling noise when they were just about to attack? Was that sound earlier recorded for Jurassic Park, and Spielberg didn’t want to waste his money? Lemme know how you felt about this movie if you've seen it. Quote

myscrnnm II Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 ive seen the book, but i havnt seen the movie...i should though You should see the movie. It gets a bad rap from having CGI, but trust me, it's a lot better than the book. Quote
Korps Commander Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 No, the book is much better than the movie. Quote
myscrnnm II Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 No, the book is much better than the movie. No, the book was stupid, like one of those old "horror" movies that are not scary, but cheesy. But the movie made the story more respectable. Quote
