 NY TIMES Review: WAR OF THE WORLDS
By Wind(up)bird on June 29, 2005 3:45 AM
A.O. Scott of the times says, "Mr. Spielberg's extraterrestrials, who rampage across New Jersey in metal death-ray-shooting tripods are - I'm looking for the precise critical term here - wicked scary. And the terror they spread as they incinerate buildings and vaporize people cannot help recalling more immediate and painful scenes." Click over for more of Mr. Scott's review. Read the New York Times Revew.

Why extraterrestrials? Why not ghosts or something? That could be good if they could put that together in a movie correctly, but then again, would that even fit the storyline?

It could be War of the Ghost and human worlds, but then again, the ghosts would probably be invisible, so you wouldn't even see their world anyway.

I found it quite sad that the creaters of this movie decided to be patriotic, and include a scene where one of the main charicters desired so badly to seal his fate, by joining up with the millitary force, who's frigging missiles couldn't even touch the enemy.
we must all blindly fight for our race! i mean country! i mean... wait. no.
robby:"I HAVE to be part of this!!"
::camera cuts to the army guys talking on their radios, and making no sense::
robby:"you HAVE to let me GO!"
tom:"AW SHIT my daughter, or my worthless son, who has been brainwashed by the patriotical media... what a decision to make."
hm. and how did robby get to boston before Tom, and that retarded little girl? no cars worked, so he didn't get a ride obviously... the army surely didn't give him a ride, because they all died horrible deaths. did he aquire super-human speed from the lightening storms?? sounds like an idea for a sequal, to me.
did anybody notice that everybody was running TOWARDS major cities?? these things popped up in major cities(because millions of years ago, the aliens knew without a doubt, that humans would exist, and where they would reside most densely)and all these fucking morons, are running TOWARD major cities. retarded.
oh, and i really love how the "EMP blast" destroyed the cillenoids in that van... but didn't TOUCH the small intricate circuitry of the computer system.
and it was nice how speilburg saved one camcorder, just so he could zoom in on it, to make for a dramatic, or not so dramatic, effect.
OOO and when tom chopped that arm in half while in the basement... the giant tripod's lazers must not have been enguaged? wtf? or maybe they had just realized that vaporizing the humans was not a good way to conserve their blood.
so much was not explained. WHAT were the root things growing on the ground, and what pourpose did they serve in the alien's new found reign over earth??why is it that, these tripods withstood erosion for millions of years, but two grinades destroyed one within seconds? if the aliens knew that humans would one day roam the earth, than why didn't they know that germs would too?.
why wasn't boston destroyed, and why hadn't tom's ex, and her husband, seek shelter elsewhere... just like EVERYBODY ELSE in the WORLD.
and my final point:
why would the aliens wait millions of years to harvest the blood of humand, when (i'm guessing)they had the technology to synthisize whatever was acting as a fertilizer. were they spreading our souls over the plains, via our blood? seems dumb.
fucking pathetic.
the cgi, and camera work were great and all... but .. fucking... christ.
if somebody decided to make a sequal to this movie, i would be very thankful. maybe speilburg is willing to redeem himself? come on steve, you owe it to us.

Robby wasn't really doing anything patriotic, he was just ticked...
There's nothing showing how long Robby was at Boston before the other two showed up. Don't forget it's a lot easier to travel on your own instead of having to take around a 10 year old girl. Don't forget how much time they stayed in the guys house, undoubtedly giving Robby a headstart. Think about it.
As for the aliens happening to be under New York, maybe it WAS just a coincidence. That's why Boston wasn't destroyed, because the aliens weren't placed under it.
And as for all the unanswered questions, that's the way it should be. The main characters in the story don't know what the aliens were doing, and the best way to portray that is by not letting us know either.
The movie was well done. Your wanna-be criticizing of it wasn't. Learn to spell, use better grammar, and stop swearing. It just shows you have a lack of vocabulary and can't muster up the brain power to think of a better word.

So... Am I the only person on the planet who HATED this movie??? Am I? No, really.
I seriously have never hated a movie like this. I have never left a theater feeling shell-shocked or pissed as hell. And I really don't think I've ever left a movie wondering if some neo-con fascists funded it.
It's not that it was boring or that the special effects were crappy. I'm just wondering what the hell Speilberg was trying to convey in his "art". I felt like I paid to be traumatized. Not entertained, just traumatized. Yes, the movie had amazing visual effects. Yes, I thought the acting was good. Yes, it made me incredibly tense. So why did I feel violated, you ask? Oh, let me tell you... I can boil it down to a mere couple of points:
1. I repeatedly felt like I was watching a weird sci-fi version of 9/11. Just when it would get too 9/11 on you, Speilberg would throw an alien in. People running from buildings falling down around them, people covered in ash, clothes falling from the sky. Walls of "missing" posters and photos and candlelight vigils. Oh, and in case you forgot this is 'War of the Worlds' and thought you were watching old news footage, here's an alien for to look at for about 10 seconds to remind you that we're not trying to play on your emotions. Was I supposed to be watching an action movie or war propaganda?
2. We don't know where these aliens really came from, but they've strangely adopted "sleeper cell" techniques and are rising up from our own soil to destroy us. But don't worry, the National Guard (which, by the way, had a lovely ad before the movie) is here to protect you from the strange alien terrorists.
Of course, there's the technical aspects, too: How did we never find the alien machines buried in our soil? I mean, wouldn't Boston's 'Big Dig' unearth at least one of them? What the hell actually killed off the aliens? I mean, it's not like humans had a fighting chance.
And then there was the final narrative describing how of COURSE humans prevailed... because, after all, we've survived evolution and have earned the right to have domain over our planet. Of COURSE the evil alien terrorists couldn't win against us arrogant humans! I mean, we can't just let some foreigners destroy our country- that's OUR job!
What. The. Hell.

The narration pretty much just said that the microbes of our planet destroyed them, because they had no immunities
and yes, this movie was one big advertisement for the millitary.

I, too, was more than a little disturbed by the "easy road" taken within aspects of this plot. As far as I can tell, the bird "poop" had an effect on the machines. The statue was covered in dead veins... and we all know that statues are covered in...
As for the worst part of the movie, the happy ending of the Tom & family. Shouldn't the son have been dead. Why did it look like the wife and new family were drinking tea in an untouched neighborhood, when apparently, everything was being attached. And how can Tom have everyone around him vaporized by the tripods as he is running from the first attach, and not get killed. Just as in The Last Samurai, you'd kind of expect Tom to take off his shirt to reveal a giant "S" on his chest.

Who says all the Tripods popped up in major cities? Where'd you get that from!? The Tripod that rises out of the ground at the start was in some small town in New Jersey.
The reason all the birds were swarming all over the Tripods was because the Aliens were dying inside and they wanting to pick at them.
The deal with the red weed was; in the original book the aliens were from Mars and, not knowing a great deal about Mars it was simply decided that for the book H.G Wells made it that the reason Mars was red was that it was covered in this kind of red weed. Therefore the aliens started growing this weed on earth (using humans as fertilizer) so that they'd be able to breath our air. Unfortunatly they didn't bet on there being loads of microbes around that would kill them.
As for why didn't they get ill and die when they originally came to bury their tripods? Who says they exposed themselves to the open air then aswell? They probably wouldn't have because no red weed had been grown and therefore they wouldn't be able to breath. There probably came down in their tripods and then flew off in the lightning storm.
Tom's son probably got to Boston before him because he and his daughter spent ages in that guys basement.
Boston WAS destroyed, didn't you see when they panned out at the end? Okay, so her parents house wasn't destroyed but think about it, there's loads of tripods sure, but enough to wipe out every single human and every single house in a day or two?
One last thing, when that Tripod first attacks, Tom isn't the ONLY guy who doesn't get zapped. As for the camcorder? Well... maybe the guy had been just out of the EMP range or something.
Anyway, I think if you're so sure you've found a load of plot holes then just use a little common sense.

Oh, and why didn't we notice these giant Tripods buried benieth our feet? Who says they weren't buried miles and miles down?
Do you know why that alien was so intrigued by that bicycle wheel?
In the book it explains that the wheel was never a part of this species evolution and therefore they've never seen one before.
I thought that bit with the alien was a nice touch.

ok, so you've explained the red things, but for somebody who has never read the book, i would've liked to have had a glimpse of knowlage as to what was going on.
nobody said anything about them getting ill when they origionally traveled to earth. my point was that, if they knew there would be mammals/humans/whatever living on earth, why wouldn't they have known that there would be little microbes?
"Boston WAS destroyed, didn't you see when they panned out at the end? Okay, so her parents house wasn't destroyed but think about it, there's loads of tripods sure, but enough to wipe out every single human and every single house in a day or two?"... ok yea... but why weren't the kid's mother, and her husband, running like no tomorrow, like everybody else?
"One last thing, when that Tripod first attacks, Tom isn't the ONLY guy who doesn't get zapped. As for the camcorder? Well... maybe the guy had been just out of the EMP range or something." um... buddy? cars were sitting, doing nothing, for miles, and miles.

"i would've liked to have had a glimpse of knowlage as to what was going on".
Speiberg was simply going for a different type of movie. This was never going to be one of those films where they cut to the Whitehouse to show the presidents reaction and then the hero straps himself into an F16 to go "kick ET's ass." He didn't want a scene where one of the aliens telepathically tells the humans their motives and history. We're simply shown this story through the eyes of an average guy and we know what he knows. Just accept that the aliens are from outer space and leave it at that.
if they knew there would be mammals/humans/whatever living on earth, why wouldn't they have known that there would be little microbes?
Maybe they didn't bother to analyse all the microscopic organisms on the planet?
but why weren't the kid's mother, and her husband, running like no tomorrow, like everybody else?
Everybody else? What makes you think that nobody at all decided to just hide in their own home?
um... buddy? cars were sitting, doing nothing, for miles, and miles.
Ok fair point, but Spielberg's not an idiot, surely he would've have noticed something as obvious as that.
you're not using common sense, you're making assumption

I thought Tom Cruise was going to sacrifice himself by letting himself be taken up into that giant anus and setting off the granades. The humans could have then defeated the aliens by strapping themselves with C4, getting caught and then suicide bombing them all. A bit like in Iraq I suppose.

So tell me, were the aliens planning on getting jealous or what? And please explain to me as to why the shields were down. Please don't give me that bullshit about how the aliens died and therefore the shields were down. Shields don't just go down because the pilot is sick, and I am aware that that is a human way of thinking of things, but its still an important point. More importantly, why do the aliens require human blood as fertilizer? Apparently, a species that is capable of far greater technology and interstellar travel requires and uses HUMAN blood to harvest its red weed on their homeworld millions of light years away? Lame and implausible. Oh, and the killing of people one at a time... not particularly efficient for such an advanced species.? Also, please no bullshit about "they dont wanna nuke the planet cuz they want our resources LOL". There's other types of weaponry that take out masses and still dont destroy the environment, bitch. Nonetheless, the movie was incredible, and I know that we're not supposed to have all the answers because the film is shot from the "average joe" perspective. Props to Speilberg for taking an 1897 novel on aliens and turning it into a mostly believable modern achievement.

If you people would of seen the original movie or would of read the book you would of realized a few things. They were killed by our diseases, by our common colds and our flus. Things that our bodies had become strong and immune to over the years and that they would not of seen when they came 'millions of years ago' because those diseases didn't exist back then. The red weed...as explained earlier..was what they thought Mars might be covered in. This book was written in the 1890's..they had no idea what Mars was besides a giant red rock!
The whole thing with the birds was that they were getting sick and they couldn't keep up their shields. Remember when the army guy said that one started moving in circles before collapsing, kind of like a person circling and then feinting.
And the whole thing with the 9-11 is bullshit. Well sorry for him wanting to make it so people would enjoy it these days. If they would of kept it like the movie from the 1950's most little teenage punks would of been bored out of their minds because their ADD minds didn't have enough explosions to keep them interested. Hell he wants to make a profit WHILE making a point.
The whole point of being so many questions is because..like said..no one KNOWS anything about them. Like someone is going to look at a red root and go 'Well hot damn! I bet thats used for symbiotic microscopic distribution of their foreign chemicals into our air system!' Please...these things were buried MILES under earth where humans have NEVER gone before. You realize we have barely scratched the surface of Earth's crust right?...Right? No you don't.
These things were scattered about in probably a GRID like system throughout earth and that was that...they waited until creatures existed that they could harvest..they waited for a certain population point and then went about their plans. This movie was great, they changed a few things...the aliens didn't look the same..in the original book/movie the legs were cloaked so you couldn't see them...and the whole blood thing wasn't the same.
Overall this was a solid movie remake
9 / 10

glad i read alot of the other posts because i felt violated by it
ive seen horror, action, adventure, whatever genres of film with more disturbing ideas and graphics but this was just so badly thrown together! the acting was poor and unconvincing, we didn't get to know them very well apart from a baseball throwing match for 2 minutes at the beginning, we are given no insight into the human experience of the entire thing and cruise putting a grenade up the aliens vagina is just rediculous!
i dont know if it was just the cinema that i went to, but the volume was so loud and the tracks to badly mixed they would have sub rumble atmos that completely drowned out the dialog...
and birds shitting on the aliens? call me a nerd but i love the fact that the creator or writer has gone to the effort of making up technicalities of the movie so why can't they let me in on it?

It isn't hard to accept that, in this movie, the aliens died because they were not intelligent enough to know of germs. yet they were intelligent enough, even millions of years ago, to travel across the univers, solar system, whatever... to initiate an invasion. and they were intelligent enought o build giant space ships, and create lightening storms from accross the vast reaches of space, and then use these lightening bolts as a distraction as they board their space ships.

Simply enough, a species capable of interstellar travel millions of years ago, that has supposedly been watching and observing our every move as we go about our daily lives, simply enough, would be aware of the fact that their immune systems would be destroyed by our germs. For godsakes, even us humans who know jack shit in the scheme of things are aware that if you go to another country, you need to be vaccinated. So my point is, this species was obviously a super intelligent race. They. Would. Know.
And don't try to answer this one with your pathetic explanations and poor grammar. It's a plothole. Period. It doesn't mean it's not a great movie.

What the h*%l are you guys smoking? You actually sound like you truly BELIEVE in this alien s*&t;? Don't you know when you've been taken? It's all about who winds up with your movie dollars! That schmuck Speilberg is filthy rich and you're probably not. Hee Hee Hee

A waste of money. Once again Cruise overplays his role and in the process helps destroy the film. All of the alien stuff is just a repeat of of other films. Not to mention the lack of logic.

THAT FUCKING STEVEN SPIELBERG WITH HIS BLOCKBUSTERS HE FUCKED UP HOLLYWOOD!!!!!!!!!!
I will go back in time to destroy him as a baby and then I will make a movie about it and fuck up the world myself and then realising me being turned into what I hate; I will simply explode.

9/10??? MORON! Who died and named you movie critic? This movie sucks ass. Why do you think Tommy Boy makes a damn fool out of himself everytime he is interviewed or stands in front of a camera? I'M IN LOVE, I'M IN LOVE, I'M IN LOVE SHE'S SO WONDERFUL,...He needs the publicity because even HE knows the movie sucks! By the way, in his contract he gets a percentage of the profits instead of a salary. Do you NOW understand how the Hollywood Money Machine works?

movie was OKAY, but Tom Cruise had to die since he sucks balls.
Some people need a reality check to see that Aliens dont exist, only thing that are Aliens are illegal immagrants > Mexicans.
Theres no proof of aliens so dont try back it up.

Why should anybody have to prove there is life on other planets too?
Because one bitch doesn't like the idea?
Think about it, billions of planets in the universe, there is bound to be at least one who is spinning in the same condition as the earth thus making life possible.

Weak plot, loose ends all over. SS expects his viewers to have read the book prior to the movie. There's just no point justifying why certain things happen in the movie, the red roots or the disease or why they shut the shields off, nothing was mentioned in the movie at all. An F definitely.

God forbid anyone should have to ever read a book! The nerve of some people.

Are you kidding me? I just got home and thought I'd never make it to the pillow! What a crappy movie! I think Tom should've taken some anti-depressants or at least will need some now b/c this movie really sucked! There was no plot and the special effects were so not up to Spielberg standards!

Just like when I saw 15 orange orb ufos do their dance and light show, this movie unfolded in an unpredictable way. You have two choices. stand and watch in amazement, or run away. Speilberg did a good job being constrained by a hunder year old story. Like a real ufo sighting, it creates more questions than it answers.

I still believe that aliens are imagined creatures until you bring me the real McCoy. The truth is, that Science Fiction has always sold billions, but, it is what it is; "fiction", or in other words, made up. If you look at it as anything besides good or bad entertainment, then you are a silly goose. I guess you believe in Superheros like Superman, Batman and Spiderman, too, you morons.

Hahaha, you are so angry! Why would anyone believe in superman because there might be life on other planets too, that is so retarded.
