Seeing it at midnight tonight (special staff showing of it), and I hope I can stay awake. [img]tongue.gif[/img] I'm hoping it's good, anyways. It certainly looks promising. I'll tell you what I think of it as soon as I wake up tommorrow. ;)

<font color="cyan">Please do, as I want to see it.

The trailers don't give away much, of what causes the destruction, but Spielberg doesn't usually put his name to shite!</font>

Er... well it wasn't what I was expecting, that's for sure. The first half was very good, but through the last half, it just got wierd/bad. The ending was waay to sudden IMO, and was just stupid. (I would say what was so stupid about it, but I'm trying to keep this spoiler free. [img]smile.gif[/img] ) It ended in the middle of action, pretty much, and almost left you wondering if they got killed off or not. And, there were all these little red 'veins' all over the ground that noone in the theater knew what the heck they were. It was ok, but nothing special. Sort of a dissapointment for me, really... I was expecting a lot more fighting of the aliens than running. I would give it 2-2.5/5 stars if I were rating it.

Have you heard the original music Sir G? That is where the "red weed" comes from (and the whole movie for that matter) so I guess all us "Hardcore fans" of war of the worlds would understand it.....

I went to the movies last night to see this, but I ended up seeing Batman begins so I can't say much about it yet...

Yeah, never seen/heard/read anything to do with War of the Worlds before this movie. But they should have at least explained it a little for us non-'hardcore' moviegoers.

At first I just assumed the red weed was the aliens starting to terraform (marsaform?) Earth.

Well, I thought...

.... that the eyeball came just to check out the house, see if it was empty.
It looked almost like veins to me... blood vessels or something.

SPOILER

Was it not human blood? Blood is their food and drink and spread it around so it would grow or something.Like crops and then reap it when it is ripe.

Is the ending somewhat like the original movie? * cough *

Might be spoiler


certain something in the atmospehere that help humanity? ;)

I heard this movie really, really sucks.
