it was good but it would have been an all-time kino if they got rid of the son and just focused on Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning
Lincoln Hernandez
it wouldve been fine if he didnt magically appear at the end
Nicholas Harris
The only thing I actually remember from that movie. Sends chills down my spine.
Julian Clark
The Tripods' designs are perfect,
Charles Morgan
that was obviously the worst part but he really didn’t add anything to the movie besides that
the whole “obsessed with joining the fight against the aliens” just made him seem like a retarded person
Tyler Thompson
Still pretty frightening.
Robert Jackson
>it would have been an all-time kino if they got rid of the son
Agreed. I've never felt so embarrassed during a movie as I did with this scene: youtube.com

The reapers from mass effect really did shamelessly rip off the sound and overall design of the tripods
Julian Rivera
i don't like to parrot shit other people say but the childrens ruined the movie.

If they just had the son stay dead this would have been 10/10

Didn't it kill like 3 of the fuckers? Blasted one with guns, rammed another then explodes all over a third.
David Walker
He was caricaturing the average American's urge to see the fight taken to "the enemy". Don't forget the movie was released only 4 years after 9/11. Remember when Cruise and the kids are escaping the initial attack in their car and the son is asking what happened, he asks "is it terrorists?" Then the first house they take refuge in is totaled by a downed airplane and the son is transfixed by the sight.
So when he sees the Jeeps and choppers and tanks charging over the hill, he wanted to see America beat the shit out of the enemy firsthand. He wanted to see mankind get back at the aliens and win. He represents the fury and grief and adrenaline people felt after the Twin Towers.
If I recall the Thunder Child went down with the second tripod, but the smoke/steam from the explosion provided a cover for the civilian boats from the third. Or maybe the third tripod left to find easier targets.
Liam Gomez
blasts away at them but only actually kills one via ramming
I think the one it shot at is just described as smoking if memory serves, so take it how you will
in the song it only splats one of the tripods and the other two shit on it
Thomas Anderson
Aliens are fucking retarded. Why couldn't they automate the robots and avoid touching the planet until it was terraformed?
Xavier Walker
would have been even more kino if they just focused on Tom Cruise escaping / surviving and riding thru the wasteland on a motorcycle without an helmet
Matthew Foster
>Why couldn't they automate the robots
They needed human blood for nutrition. They were fucked no matter what because the germs/disease humans had in their bodies fucked them over from Day 1.

They saw the gaunt figures separating and rising out of the water as they retreated shoreward, and one of them raised the camera-like generator of the Heat-Ray. He held it pointing obliquely downward, and a bank of steam sprang from the water at its touch. It must have driven through the iron of the ship's side like a white-hot iron rod through paper.
A flicker of flame went up through the rising steam, and then the Martian reeled and staggered. In another moment he was cut down, and a great body of water and steam shot high in the air...
At the sight of the Martian's collapse the captain on the bridge yelled inarticulately, and all the crowding passengers on the steamer's stern shouted together. And then they yelled again. For, surging out beyond the white tumult, drove something long and black, the flames streaming from its middle parts, its ventilators and funnels spouting fire.
She was alive still; the steering gear, it seems, was intact and her engines working. She headed straight for a second Martian, and was within a hundred yards of him when the Heat-Ray came to bear. Then with a violent thud, a blinding flash, her decks, her funnels, leaped upward. The Martian staggered with the violence of her explosion, and in another moment the flaming wreckage, still driving forward with the impetus of its pace, had struck him and crumpled him up like a thing of cardboard. My brother shouted involuntarily. A boiling tumult of steam hid everything again.
'Two!,' yelled the captain.
"Everyone was shouting. The whole steamer from end to end rang with frantic cheering that was taken up first by one and then by all in the crowding multitude of ships and boats that was driving out to sea.
"The steam hung upon the water for many minutes, hiding the third Martian and the coast altogether... when at last the confusion cleared, the drifting bank of black vapour intervened, and nothing of the Thunder Child could be made out, nor could the third Martian be seen.
Daniel Martinez
good point, but they could of shipped rations inside the tripods, finish terraforming and then from mars just beam down their own food like they beamed down themselves earlier
Thomas Sanders
Why didn't the aliens have antibiotics?
Mason Allen
I thought the martians didn't fire their heat rays towards it until after it damaged one with the guns? I remember it as them releasing the fog first, or is that a radio version thing?

>They needed human blood for nutrition.
For once AIDS riddled faggots were of some use to us.
Jaxson Anderson
Because they lived in a post germ society for unknown generations. It's likely they just didn't consider them to be genuine threats. It would be like modern humans getting shots for extinct diseases. Except for the Martians, even the concept of disease was historical, not medical.
David Barnes
The whole reason they invaded was because they ran out of resources on their home planet. They probably had limited rations and couldn't help themselves at the sight of fresh meat so easy to catch. Not much different from how settlers and colonists back in the day hunted animals into extinction for meat and fur.
kek
It didn't have to be AIDS, just common sicknesses that humans developed immunity to. In the Martian Chronicles for instance they all die from chicken pox spread by the Earth astronauts.

That excerpt is from the book, but the radio/comic book/film versions changed stuff here and there.
