Makes the invasion plan from Plan 9...

Rating: 1/10 (10 July 2008)

War of the Worlds was a truly awful, terrible mess of movie with starship-sized plot holes. As there are already reviews here which tell you just how awful this movie is, just one additional commentary from me.
The ridiculous, braindead, record-breaking unbelievable, extremely stupid "invasion plan" in this movie: Place tripod weapons and ONLY tripod weapons dormant in the ground of a so far uninhabited planet millions of years before a technological species arises on it and then send your soldiers by LIGHTNING THROUGH THE GROUND out of nowhere into these tripods which have never been discovered or damaged over eons although they only lie perhaps 100-200 feet below the ground of major cities to activate them and take over the planet without knowing that it features bacterias and viruses although they were already existing when you visited the planet the first time... To make this brief, this turkey of an invasion scheme lets the Plan 9 from outer space look like D-Day.
