^ hey, I liked that stupid movie. That the one where they had them in those ballons? Collecting humans to put inside of them?
Jesus, please don't say that out loud... :'(Eddie said:One thing though, ID4 may not have been a good movie, but that movie defined my generation
True, I wasn't screaming for my money back...when you lower your expectations, the only thing that can disappoint you is Howard Stern's career.Psymont 2.0 said:ever notice when your expectations are lowered, you actually enjoy things more... as a result, i enjoyed it...
CnC said:I thought it was great. The lighting, the effects! wow!
Smith said:MORGAN FREEMAN- I don't even remember seeing him...
ALIENS- Cute little bugger that show no mercy for man... They have been planning this for a million year and yet they wait for a million year to exterminate us where they could have done that back then. Attractive but not Intelligent, Apparently they forgot to check the Earth's atmosphere for deadly bacteria before they even send their team down...
BACTERIA- SAVIOR OF THE DAY! They are one who exterminate the alien before it exterminate us... And also the best excuse Steven can give before the movie comes to a point where killing the alien would be impossible...
1) Cruise seem that the person who trigger the explosion for the building, like the person who trigger the time bomb donation, He survive it by ensuring the building exploded always just a few feet behind him... Maybe the alien was chasing after him and yet didn't get him becz of his impressive running skills. He can only be caught when he turn himself in to save daughter
tou che, guess he parked it around back. This is, kind of, a plot hole.2) His van somehow survive the plane crash
I'm guessing the actions of the people in the cage are supposed to contrast the actions of the people during the van hijacking (basically a bunch of cowards). Basically to say theres something worth saving in humanity (blah blah). If they didn't save him or if they all fell to their deaths after the tripod blows up, it would have been a boring movie.4) Cage incident: Those victims seem to know he is the big star Tom Cruise who will save their lives, Everyone help him pulling him out but heck care about the previous one who was taken up. The cage landed nicely and safety on top of a tree and the cage miraculous opened up and people can start climbing out...
5) The tripod is also living thing, or maybe the bacteria was the one that cause the shield to deactivate. Or perhap the alien knowing they have been infected and dying decided to off the shield so that human can finish them quickly and not letting them suffer... Hmmm...

what? huh?

Smith said:A mistake i made, but the ending still sux
OK, I thought this scene was cool. Yes, he's running and nearly everyone around him is being destroyed by the heat ray. If he had been killed then it would have been a boring movie for the same reasons as I've already stated.Well Cruise got everyone beside him dead except him (Those laser keep missing him is really too exaggerating), those building exploded from both side of the road just a few feet behind... Its always nicely a few feet behind... I remember only seeing one tripod why was the alien aiming only at his area?
Again, would've been stupid had they all died right then. Perhaps a "Game over" screen.Well what make you think by pulling him out the tripod, it wont blow and they wont be dead? The tree is already nicely spread out welcoming them to have a nice cushion support for their falls...

"Griffith No More!" said:Jesus, I can't believe people are still defending this tripe!? I don't care if you like it or not, but c'mon, we should certainly be able to agree that it was stupid; even insulting to our intelligence. Anyway, no point in making or defending nitpicks when Spielberg obviously wasn't interested in any kind of coherency anyway. He literally filmed it in 5 minutes. =)
As for them staying true to the ending, great, but I think the complaint is that perhaps Spielberg could have used some of that famous filmmaking gusto of his to make it, you know, not shitty and stupid. The tone was about as dramatic as a sitcom, only funnier. And lets not forget the stunning sequence that led up to it, "Hey, supposedly trained soildier, did you notice the shields is down!? You can tell because the birds are attacking it; like what happens to any vehecile on Earth when its shields are down!" "Thanks for that clumsy plot device, Tom Cruise, we're all just a bunch of morons, like the aliens, the audience, and you, right Senor Spielbergo!?" Yeah, I sure enjoyed two hours of that. When the thing fell over and the alien hand came out, in the by the numbers tribute to the 50's film I predicted Spielberg would do as soon as I heard about this movie, I didn't think the best director ever could care less. "Okay, the camera's on, GO!" I would have rather the last Tripod was about to destroy Tom Cruise and his family but then the T-Rex eats it. =)
