    War of the Worlds

    War of the Worlds is on HBO now, so I finally got around to watching it...

    Besides having hundreds of "why the hell" momments, horrible acting and a piss poor storey line... one thing leaves me utterly perplexed...


    why exactly did they start randomly going insane and drop thier shields?? i've watched it twice now, second time ONLY to find what I missed that explains this, but I still have yet to see it! did they skip an entire chapter of the movie or something? all they hint is that birds are eating the red weeds, then they are all flying around the tripod things, then its the end. wtf?

    If you took your Dilaudids as pre-requisite, you would not have had trouble with the story line.

    so much military was destroyed by the end. I really liked that one scene where you see tanks/hummers/everything possible go baraging over a hill crest-don't see a single part of it, just know that they are being reduced to ash...that was a powerful part in the movie.

    i thought that the shields were down b/c he blew up the "shield generating" tri-pod...the one with the net holding all the people and suppling blood to the rest? been a while since i've seen it...but oh well.

    The original was better by far as is the case with most re-done movies.
