    The radio version when there was no TV caused a lot of panic because some people thought it was real. The fifties movie was wild and a little ahead of it's time. This one was pretty cool.

There was some panic, but nothing like what the news depicted, so no people jumping out of windows or mass riots.

    Despite the fact the Aliens utilized Tripods and use the Red Weed like in the original source Material, Steven Spielberg revealed in a behind the scenes featurette of the film, that the Aliens in his adaptation of _War of the Worlds_ are not from Mars but live on a planet in a far darker portion of the Universe away from ET’s home planet which would explain the Aliens ferocious hostility and their interest in the extermination of the humans during the invasion, compared to ET and his species who are friendly, kind and benevolent.
    In addition, the designs of the Aliens in this film compared to the other aliens in the different _War of the World_ adaptations, they made them more amphibious with their movement being heavily based on a Tree Frog with the stealth of a Cat.

    I occasionally wonder why some people are so shocked to see that the aliens bear a striking resemblance to their Tripod vehicles, since, when you think about it, humans in (and possibly out) of fiction tend to build robots that have rather human-like looks/builds. I mean, just think of Ultron, Baymax, Meet the Robinsons, I Robot, Pacific Rim, RWBY, and the Alien franchise as examples. So if humans often create robots in their own image, is it so out-of-left-field to consider that other intelligent organisms on other planets might do the same?

    The 1953 film of _War of the Worlds_ is based on the Cold War and fear of Communism while the 2005 _War of the Worlds_ is based on the 9/11 attacks and living in a post-9/11 world.
    Speaking of the 1953 film, the grandparents at the end of the film are Gene Barry and Ann Robinson who were the leading actors in the 1953 _War of the Worlds_ film.
    Finally, I never understood the sheer hatred on Dakota Fanning’s portrayal of Rachel in the film?!? Yes, I can agree from the vast majority and I’m not denying it, that she screams "bloody murder" a lot throughout the film which can get annoying and tiresome after a while, so I don’t blame the majority of you along with the fact Rachel had done tantrums in the film that frustrated all of you, but can you really blame Dakota Fanning and her character?!?! Rachel had to witness Tripods and Aliens vaporizing humans and at one point had to witness an Angry mob of humans trying to get into a van and that left her frightened, confused and terrified?!?
    Is it frustrating having Rachel scream a lot?!? Yes
    Does her character or even Dakota Fanning deserves hatred on this film? *NO* not for the most part, cause literally her character is a child and Dakota Fanning does an incredible job portraying Ray’s young daughter having to witness a frightening Alien Invasion.
    If anything, I actually hated Robbie more than Rachel, considering his fixation on joining the army and abandoning Ray and Rachel.

    The first half of this movie is one of the most genuinely mature sci-fi stories ever put on screen.
    The word "adult" in fiction usually just means gratuitously explicit in some way (gore, 6 appeal, etc. -- which I'm a fan of, don't get me wrong). But this? This... makes you feel fragile, and expendable, and afraid. It's all the most jarring revelations about adulthood (uncertainty about the future, inability to solve intractable problems, etc.) forced on two totally unprepared kids... and it's hard to watch in multiple places.

    I like the point made about Cruise seeming so normal. As much as I like Ethan Hunt and Maverick, those characters are like superheroes and it seems like he enjoys those characters because they allow him to seek out new challenges for himself. The Ray character is selfish, a little more stocky and dad-bodyish, and quick to anger. This is the last time Cruise ever played a character with this many faults.

    Whenever I watch the scene where the large crowd started swarming and attacking the car where Ray and his Children (Rachel and Robbie) are in, it almost reminded me of the scene from _Children of Men_ with the Fishes attacking the car in the woods and killing Julian. Now granted, while both scenes are portrayed differently where one was an ambush orchestrated by Luke to become leader of the Fishes and using Kee’s Baby for political reasons, and the scene in _War of the Worlds_ was due to the desperate crowd in need of a ride/transportation to avoid the Tripods from the alien invasion, what all two scenes have in common was how violent and monstrous humans can become due to the collapse of society and/or desperation of finding something to move around during an apocalypse which IMHO I find it more terrifying than any horror movie monster/alien or an alien invasion in general.
    It honestly makes me wonder how This scene and especially the Red Weed landscape scene literally got away with a PG-13 rating instead of a R rating?

    The driving scene is a combination of several different elements. For the closeups, they filmed the actors in a van against the green screen and used driving plates they filmed from a car driven down the highway at relatively the same angles. The outside shots weaving through the traffic were shot with a russian arm crane that apparently won several awards for innovation and its ability to capture really steady shots while moving. The end result was a handful of techniques skillfully blended together in editing.

    The walkers remind me of Striders from HL2. Did it a quick search, they were inspired by the H.G. Wells book walkers. The red stuff if I remember right is red weed and they use human blood and whatever to create it to help terraform the planets they are attacking. "transform (a planet) so as to resemble the earth, especially so that it can support human life", but in this case, they were doing it to be their plane. Also, them being taken out by bacteria could 100% happen, which is a really cool concept. There is a a tribe that live on the North Sentinel Island and they have been there isolated from the world for hundreds of years. They are protected, because any introduction of germs or bacteria could easily wipe them out since they do not have the antibodies for things. A lot of the set with the giant airplane was cut up and shipped to Universal Studios California and is on display during a tour.

And another part of the description I like is towards the end when the main character says that the strangest part about the Tripods is that nowhere in their mechanism is a wheel, at all. The whole machine runs without wheels

    This story has a fascinating history.
    "The 1938 radio broadcast of The War of the Worlds by Orson Welles caused a period of panic in the United States:
    What happened
    The broadcast was a Halloween episode of the radio series The Mercury Theatre on the Air. It was an adaptation of H. G. Wells's 1898 novel of the same name. The broadcast was presented as a newscast about a Martian invasion of Earth, and included realistic sound effects and simulated breaking news bulletins.
    Why it caused panic
    Some listeners were confused and tuned in late, missing the introduction that the broadcast was a work of fiction. The broadcast was also presented in a way that was realistic, with actors portraying reporters and government officials.
    The aftermath
    The panic led to some listeners fleeing their homes, and there were stories of riots, murder, and suicide. The New York Times headline read, “Radio Listeners in Panic, Taking War Drama as Fact”.
    Orson Welles' response
    Welles later explained to reporters that he had not intended to cause panic, and that radio was still learning about its effect on people."

    I already know I will be thinking about: "What..like Europe?" "NO ROBBIE...NOT LIKE EUROPE!" for years to come xD I've seen this movie before years ago and didn't remember that line but it is so funny and know it's stuck in my brain.

    no one talks about it, so,I will. I love how the movie humanise the military. The army is simple human beings who are scared too, look how young some of those soldiers are. 18-24 years old. No one going to mention that? Look at the fear and how some want to cry, but they still retain their job and duty to listen to orders and attempt to hold back and save civilians. Those soldiers are beyond incredible and need more credit. They’re the ones who have to stay back, while civilians flee and live. They don’t. The courage, the bravery , the selflessness . They got family too.
    They’re the ones who have to face danger head on. They have to go up close to the aliens and fire under all that stress and pure fear . Amazing. Soldiers are underrated in these types of movies.
    One thing too about the aliens I never understood how their ships can be under our water which wouldn’t our oceans be different than Mars? As I heard that’s the planet the aliens come from. Our oceans temperature is completely different. And when they were out of their ships and in the flooded basement, you’d think they would react? Earth oxygen and atmospheric again is not the same as Mars. How do the aliens breath our air? When it’s not the same. Also wouldn’t they be colourblind.
    Alien movies are just funny to me. I don’t understand the evolutionary process on how this would work. How did Mars produce all these materials? Especially the torch lights/search lights a human made thing . How do they know the speed to enter earth atmosphere to not burn up into a crisp. What happens when there’s tornadoes? Heatwaves. Snow storms. Hurricanes. It doesn’t snow on Mars

    This movie was Spielberg's "9-11" homage/reaction movie, his way of processing the attacks. That's why you see all the major elements here -- the sudden terrifying attacks, the "people dust," the airplane crash, the falling bodies (and symbolic falling clothes), etc. Robbie was just like so many others that day who ran off and enlisted immediately because he wanted to feel like he was doing something (anything). I think it's a terrific, creepy and very underrated sci-fi film.

    This is Tom's best performance by far he actually puts in and very good performance. Also possible his best movies. Jeff Wayne's musical (double LP) version which some of this movie is based on is amazing and i think is better.

    I love watching viewers reactions on movies and the most known reaction for this movie is "why are you standing their watching that RUN!" remember when the Jets crashed into the Worlds Trade Center buildings how many people did you see Run immediately after when first Impact NONE no different when something unexplainable happens right in front of you, it's human nature to be curious of what's going on, so you stand to watch.

    Even though I love watching people react to this movie, one of my only complaints with the movie is how Robbie survived.
    Technically yeah he could have defeated the machine the same way that Ray did but still
    I hate the "oh it's a movie so he survived" trope. I would rather it have been more explanatory

    Prepping for any situation is not a bad idea. Basically, make a list of items that can be stored for an extended amount of time. Plenty of water and dried food, cans and camping cooking gear with plenty of the little camp stove candle things that can go under a makeshift stove. Store everything in zip lock bags and keep it as dry as you can. Look up on the internet on what you need, its right there

    Tom Cruise was great in this. Edge of Tomorrow, if you haven't already. Another Tom Cruise scifi flick that is a must watch.
    For those who didn't know, there's an animated movie called War of the Worlds: Goliath. The premise is that after the first Martian invasion (the one from the book, or this movie), humans managed to salvaged fallen Martian Tripods and retro engineered their tech, resulted in major advancement of human technology. Some decades later the Martian came back with their upgraded Tripods and now humans with new technology developed their own war machines (mechs) to fight them. It' pretty cool.

    So first off, LOVE this movie, thanks so much for reacting. Very glad you enjoyed it.
    Also, if you wanna see any other movies with Tom Cruise as a normal guy, more or less, a lot of his older movies show off his true acting prowess, more than an exceptional action star doing his own stunts.... may i suggest A Few Good Men with Jack Nicholson and a plethora of other great actors and actresses.

    You probably think the opening dialogue sounds like an old film because its taken from the opening lines of the 1898 book by H.G. Wells. So definitely written in an older style. Its also the same way that the 1978 Jeff Wayne's musical version opens up so every time i hear it, I keep expecting an orchestra to start playing lol

    "This is closer to the book description" (the look of the aliens). No, it isn't. In the book they have a huge body, big like a bear, a quivering, v shaped mouth and instead of arms and legs tentacles.
