Pengwuino said:Well I have my complaints about the plot but i CAN chalk that up to it being such an old story. Of course, it's a REAL stretch to think that such advanced aliens could not understand anything about biology. Even if biology as a whole was barely understood, we still had enough knowledge to be able to think "Ok we know how to cure a few diseases... its not too much of a stretch to think aliens could have figured this all out before us and not be prone to our diseases" and put it in a story to make it more believable. Then again one would suspect the original story would make the assumption that this was their first attempt at an attack on another planet... so they wouldn't have a chance to even realize disease needed to be accounted for. If they were whiping out planet after planet and then it was finally time to take Earth over, it wouldn't have been acceptable though. Since that wasn't the case, I guess that can be a realistic idea back in the day.
However, the idea that their shields stopped working because the operators had a cold doesn't make any sense and wouldn't have made sense back then either. Oh and the kid magically living. How did that happen? Did i blink and miss 20 minutes of the movie? Did things like that happen a lot back in the 1800's?
The acting can't be excused though, sorry.
Pengwuino said:The family side was even stupider. I don't know how the book went... but the ending was rediculous. Cruise wasn't at all believable. That little girl pissed me off to no end. The older kid was a moron in every sense of the word. Oh oh, i have to go see it! I have to see it! Pathetic.
Oh and somehow he lives.
And all the aliens catch a cold. Come on now... I hope that wasn't part of the book... Even if it was, what, did the tripods catch a cold too and lose their shields?
