I saw War of the Worlds last night, and i really enjoyed it. but can anyone explain how the ailens die in the end? I am lost at that point.
well old dude killed that one with the grenade, and then the rest of them kinda died, and it said ever since they first breathed our air and used our blood they were set ot die...i dont really know either....i liked the movie though, it was one of the only scary movies that actually got me terrified!
they all died of the common cold. it cost us over a billion lives of men to develop an immune system to kill off that bugger, the aliens had no such immune system. I imagine a sequel will get written spuriously aboot the diseases caused by the aliens......
well yeah that would explain the bacteria thing, and um like dude i don't think theres gonna be a sequal. sad to say.
It was from bacteria.. they cant adapt to the way we live.. At first lol I thought the birds did it haha.. I just saw it tonight and it was a pretty good movie.. peace chickens
yea, the aliens were killed by the germs and diseases that were present in human blood, because they had never cme into contact with them before, they had no immunities to them
yeah.. pretty dead give away with the germs in the beginning.. the comment on the end and the germs again Strange though, that they have been studying us from day one and they didn't know about the bacteria? Hmz....
You can't tell me that you actually enjoyed that bit with Tom Cruise singing? I refuse to believe that, but if you get the chance to read the book I think you'll enjoy it. You can probably download it from the net, it's a classic. I was impressed with the sound more than anything. Special Effects are not special anymore. It's like going to the circus. We've seen it all before. TC's characterization was probably the most bland, unimpressive, forgettable pantomime I've ever seen since Frank Bruno wore a tutu and entertained 7 year old children with: "Know what I mean 'Arry". Lord Almighty! And what was that shit with him casually killing the man that saved him and his daughter's lives? He's making a lot of noise! Let's kill him before the aliens hear him! Fine. The aliens still found them! Oh dear, you've just murdered a man for nothing, you overpaid Hollywood pixy! And why is it that all your girlfriends make (almost always)better movies by the way? Those tripods must have been 100 ft tall, right? When those shopping baskets with the humans fell off, they all got up and walked as if nothing had happened. Fuck's sake! Not even an Alfa Romeo carries those kind of shock absorbers! And throughout this undigestive pile of crock it was necessary to explain in intricate detail irrelevant information like why the little Stonehengetoothed girl crossed her arms, something which has no connection with the original classic, than to explain how the aliens died?!? (As someone already pointed out!) -Oh yeah, what did you do on Saturday, Fred? -I went to see that War of The Worlds! -Good, was it? -Fucking ace, dude. Did you know that 10 year olds have a great way of combating stress, like? -Wow! I thought it was about aliens and stuff! -Yeah, yeah, they somehow died in the end. Blow me. Spielberg, you're a muppet. Leave classics alone. Demonize your own handiwork and not historical literature. You've made some great movies. Don't spoil it. There's nothing wrong with retirement. War of the Worlds 2 my ass!
I just saw it. I really knew nothing about the movie going into it....just that it included the duo of Cruise and Speilberg (sp?). It was pretty good.....but I think that a darker ending would have been better. I just wasn't to thrilled at the end when they arrive in Boston and see that Cruise's ex was with her family and her new hubby all dressed and opening the door as if they weren't in any harm. I didn't understand that part.....I think it would have made a more dramatic conlcusion if they had died....or weren't so dressed up.
Worst movie I've seen in a great while. It took great self control for us not to laugh through the whole thing.
Visually awesome film, but the story was weak. The original explained that the cold virus is what killed them off. The new movie didn't explain it, probably because they figured everyone had already seen or heard about this story at one time or another.
