Talk:H. G. Wells' War of the Worlds (The Asylum film)

message: Oh damn. I thought this was supposed to refer to the Spielberg movie, and edited part of it because I thought that it had wrong info.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lord of Light (talk • contribs) 19:11, 30 December 2005.

thread_title: Not Spielberg

message: This and H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds (2005 film) should be combined somehow.

replies: text: There were 3 WotWs film out in 2005 The War of the Worlds (film) but there is no reason they should be merged (it would make things messier and would probably add to the confusion). It might be that we have to do something to make it clearer which are which but I hope the film disambiguation page will sort out most confusion on that front. It'd be worth checking that the incoming links are all pointing to the right entries. While we were disambiguating the various WotW entries we have been through incoming links and checking that everything was OK but it pays to doublecheck. (Emperor 01:01, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I want to first note that original (unsigned) post is a just over a year old. It appears dead-on to this request (whether they're the same can only assumed because the history for that talk page is lost). As it's been stated, these are two films similar in titles and source material, but have different casts, crews, and setting both in time and location. I'm pretty sure you won't find a single wikipedia policy that will agree with merging these two. --Bacteria 17:21, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Three adaptions were in the production at the same time. Just because one was a big budget one does not make the other two mockbusters. Get your facts right boys.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.56.87.50 (talk) 14:50, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

message: This straight-to-dvd version of 'War of the Worlds" seems to have been produced for one reason only: to be released in the same month as Spielberg's version and thereby cash in on the popularity of Spielberg's version through Blockbuster and elsewhere only for the purpose of making money off of those who purchase it in the mistaken belief (without reading the cover details) that is is somehow the Spielberg version....or just as good....or worth renting because the title is so popular and so heavily advertised in that month?  It seems the main point of interest in the article is not addressed: WHY would anyone want to produce such a low-to-no-budget version of a title when the blockbuster version of the same title is so much better and in theaters at exactly the same time? ... it would be instructive for cinemaphiles to know the answer - just in case they are interested in understanding how the movie-making biz sometimes works from a purely business standpoint.  While the dvd might be seen as a psychological study of humans facing 'the end' it is a bit slow and tedious and if the business motivation is understood, that might help us understand and appreciate something about the movie business that may not be clear to many of us.  The dvd would be worth the time just to see how this business goal is achieved in the cinema marketplace.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gyzngalz (talk • contribs) 19:33, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: H. G. Wells' War of the Worlds (2005 film) →  – year does not appear to be needed. Alternatively War of the Worlds (Asylum film) could also work, we could move War of the Worlds (2005 film) to War of the Worlds (Dreammax film) to turn its former location into a disambig. 64.228.88.108 (talk) 22:06, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Explanation of apparent conflict: The aliens buried their capsules "a very long time ago" according to the story line - yes to the earth they seemed to have done just that, but to the aliens it was just a year or so before! Remember, they can travel at light speed (remember the lighting bolts they ride down to their tripods) and so by leaving earth and immediately returning to earth, all at light speed, they experienced the "twin paradox" of the theory of Relativity! To the aliens the time elapsed between when they left earth after burying their capsules and returning to man them was quite short, to earth the time elapsed was very long indeed!
