Illogical garbage... spoilers!

Rating: 3/10 (22 November 2005)

This movie is the worst. It could have been so good, but what can you do. The tripods and death rays were really cool, but that's it.
SPOILERS...
Tripods, buried underground... you are telling me that we never found these things. Humans have figured out what the Earth's core is like... and why bury these things 1000 years ago... Maybe we should bury tanks in Iraq for the future. Did the Martians (or whoever) not have any new technological break throughs over the last millenia?
It's also good Tom Cruise's son (in the movie) is a homing teenager, he can find his way to Boston, on foot, during the end of the world and STILL beat his dad there...
Also, what's with his mom and her parents all safe and sound in their little brownstone in Boston? Did these people not feel the need to evacuate? Did the aliens not really hit Boston all that hard? I mean they totaled Bayonne... was this a more strategic target...
This movie sucks... and NOW Tom "koo-koo" Cruise has the American remake rights to the Pang Brothers' great movie The Eye... oh, lord... why don't they get Spielberg to direct that movie and make it a family-sensitive-feel-good-movie with Dakota Fanning?
