War of the Worlds- Spielberg's personal touch - Keith the Elder - 04-11-2006
Finally saw WOTW and in special features, old Steve said he wanted to personalize the film so he had the aliens use machines buried thousands/millions(?) of years ago, because everyone has them come in spaceships Yeah, good idea - if you want to totally discredit the film.
That would be like the US burying 1000 Model T's in Europe for a surprise attack in 2096. I mean, come on, did the aliens really think that in the passing millenia they would never be able to improve their ass-kickin' technology.
And another thing.....If they were here before, why didn't they pack some antibiotics this time.
All in all a decent film, save for Steve's "fingerprint"

If these things had been buried for a long time, how come no one has come across them during any building construction? That was my peeve.

I can see where you're coming from, but c'mon that was one great flick! You just had to see this movie on the big screen though. It literally was twice as good at the show.
I'd rather have a great movie with a couple flaws then an accurate piece of garbage

The special effects were awesome. I still watch the dvd all the time. When the street started turning. . . so cool.

I've seen it 3 times, twice at the movies and again at home. Still love it, flaws and all. Still gets me. Love that FABULOUS trumpeting sound the aliens make.

I prefer the Gene Barry version. I didn't think this version even came close to that one. Also the Orson Welles radio recording is a lot of fun.

You're right on with that trumpeting sound. Was creepy.
