Awesome movie. Saw it today. GO SEE IT!!

Rachel ("The Daughter") is played by <person>, who is the best actress under 30 I've EVER seen.

I thought it sucked, I saw it two days ago. Tell us why you think it was good.

Land of the Dead had so much more going on, this was flat.

I liked the action in the movie. Dakota Fanning screamed too damn much for my liking, as did oh wait.. EVERYBODY.
The effects were cool too.
Let's put it this way,
"They didn't explain how it all happened, but they fucked up the last minute by cramming it in."

I liked it, that's all I can say. I am looking forward to Land of the Dead, though.

I saw it first day it came out but wasn't able to make a review because I was leaving. :[

Anyways, I liked it till a little past half way then it got all crappy. Happy endings are great but how the hell did the son survive. How did the birds affect the robot things? Did they poop all over them? Like I said ending was shit I thought.

rabbit · « **Reply #5 on:** July 03, 2005, 09:48:45 pm »

The birds didn't do jack shit to the aliens. All they did was land on it (showing that their shields were down).

Also, at the end, the son is actually a zombie ghost.

wires · « **Reply #6 on:** July 03, 2005, 10:21:39 pm »

Why and how did the shields go down though?

rabbit · « **Reply #7 on:** July 03, 2005, 11:15:54 pm »

Plot hole. The aliens got sick from the bacteria in the water/air that they didn't find cures/vaccines for while they waited a million years to attack (why not just attack the stupid cave people?).

Blaze · « **Reply #8 on:** July 03, 2005, 11:29:44 pm »

The aliens died from bacteria in the air in the original tape recording. I think I will like the tape better due to its fun songs!

Quik · « **Reply #9 on:** July 03, 2005, 11:46:05 pm »

The movie was about as holy as God himself. I mean, a FUCKING 747 CRASHES OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE, and yet you find a clear path to drive out of the wreckage without popping a tire. This is just one of the things that boggles the mind about thise movie.

There's a few more things, plus the feeling that you missed about 10 minutes near the end, that accumulate to the overall suckage of the movie.

CrAz3D · « **Reply #10 on:** July 04, 2005, 01:41:39 am »

It was good on an entertainment level...if you analyze it the movie falls apart

As for the parasites...ok, wtf, did the original aliens that put the spacecraft there not get infected!?

Quik · « **Reply #11 on:** July 04, 2005, 02:38:27 am »

Not even good on an entertainment level. For the same amount of cash dollars, you could see Land of the Dead, which was actually GOOD, and more exciting/entertaining/better done. *sigh*

Blaze · « **Reply #12 on:** July 04, 2005, 11:56:13 am »

If you like the War of the Worlds series, but not the movive (as I do), I bet you would like this version by JeffWayne.

the end sucked dicks, they shouldve continued it

On which version?

wires · « **Reply #15 on:** July 07, 2005, 02:41:48 pm »

Most likely the movie becuase it did suck...

*meh*

It was OK, but I feel for a movie having the biggest budger in history it could be better.

I didn't like the ending either, mainly because it never explained why they lost their shields.

I also did not like that kid (Robbie, I think) at all, he was annoying, stubborn, and obviously a Democrat. He remined me of those idiotic protesters that protest against Bush in the Protest Warrior videos.

I thought that basement guy was going to molest the girl, or kill them, or something. He was a weirdo.

On the other hand, this movie had me guessing some....I wasn't totally sure if this movie would have an "American happy ending" like nearly all other movies. I thought the boy had died, and was preparing for at least Tom Cruise to die too. I didn't think he would, since he's Tom Cruise, but he almost did.

In the arcade part of the theater, before the movie, this old guy (I think he was retarded or something), was playing a Turkey Hunting game. He kept aiming the gun at me and pretending he was shooting. What a freak.

rabbit · « **Reply #20 on:** July 13, 2005, 06:23:22 pm »

I got a free "emergency ticket" to any Ritz theater cause there were 2 guys being assholes the whole movie

I wanted Robbie to die. And he was obviously a cross between Republican and Democrat ("I wanna go kill them", ".....*tear**hug*") He was such a putz...

My ideal movie is where the bad guy ends. Every movie in like...the past 2847389 years has been "O SHIT WE FOUND SOME SORT OF LOOPHOLE AND KILLED THEM ALL IN THE LAST SECOND!!" It would have been better if the aliens killed the men, raped the women, and sprayed the children's insides across the planet, then the credits rolled. That woulda been awesome.

Newby · « **Reply #21 on:** November 23, 2005, 12:32:54 pm »

The movie wasn't bad, but it finished on a horrible note. I cry for humanity if all movies end with the good guys winning.

Is it me, or did the ending (where they shot rockets into the giant robot) remind me of the setting in Half-Life 2? The sunny city, which is all ruined, etc.?

I imagined it'd suck, which is why I turned down all past offers to go see it, and guess what? Everyone hated it around here.

I prefer the book, it's much better.

leet_muffin · « **Reply #25 on:** December 29, 2005, 08:56:29 pm »

i found the ending quite clear - but then again, i guess im the type that when a whole group of advanced aliens die from something that we are immune to, as said by the narrator., and they zoom in on bacteria in the water and air, i assume that is what killed them.

I remember there was an old 1970's movie similar to War of the Worlds, and that's exactly how the aliens died in the end.

perhaps the original war of the worlds movie (there was one before this, right? i know about the book, but was there a movie before this one?)

rabbit · « **Reply #28 on:** December 31, 2005, 09:59:38 am »

Yes. This one is a remake of sorts...

trust · « **Reply #29 on:** December 31, 2005, 10:05:02 am »

But wouldn't the bacteria have gotten to them earlier when they were underground?

rabbit · « **Reply #30 on:** December 31, 2005, 10:08:04 am »

The machines were underground not the aliens themselves.

Blaze · « **Reply #31 on:** December 31, 2005, 01:10:14 pm »

It wasn't untill the aliens ate/drank that they were attacked, according to the Musical.

do you meant the initial attack - as in when the main char was being eaten and used a nade? or do you mean when they started eating the people in general?
