War Of the Worlds

War Of The Worlds.

Director: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, Tim Robbins, Miranda Otto, Justin Chatwin

On June 29th 2005, the war between Mars and Earth starts.

Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise) is a working class man living in New Jersey. He’s estranged from his family, his life isn’t in order, and he’s too caught up with himself. But the unthinkable and, ultimately, the unexpected happens to him in an extraordinary sense. His small town life is shaken violently by the arrival of destructive intruders: Aliens which have come en masse to destroy Earth. As they plow through the country in a wave of mass destruction and violence, Ray must come to the defense of his children. As the world must fend for itself by a new and very advanced enemy not of this world, it’s inhabitants must save humanity from a far greater force that threatens to destroy it.

Well, personally I think that this movie is really great. Steven Spielberg only used not more that 500 CGI scenes in the movie, because what he wants to present to the audience is the spirit of humanity, not how sadistic can a disaster movie go. In comparison, Star Wars used a wholly 22,000 CGI scenes!

I love the part when the tripods starts to attack. Zapping the horified crowds with unknown rays, victims immediately turned into ashes! Wow, that’s sort of sadistic. Buildings came crashing down when the aliends launched their first attack on Lincoln Avenue. They zap people, send building crashing down. They grow red weeds, nourish those wweds with human blood.

The tripods came out of the ground, after they’re hit by some weird lightning. This also causes all electrical appliances to malfucntions, not unalbe to work completely, maybe because of some wierd plasma pulse thingy.

They have a shields. Nothing can attack them. Cannons to nuclear bombs can’t even chip off a tiny little peice out of the tripods. Those tripods can travel under water, flipping voer a ferry loaded with escaping people and cars. This is horrible!

Hello Easter Egg hunter! You've discovered the magic of the Konami Code!

Yea. You probably know what the Konami code is before getting to this page. So now what? Here is a randomised YouTube video on my favourites list... which includes Rickroll, if you're luck enough to get it.

You are currently watching Lady Gaga - Telephone (feat Beyonce). Loving it? You can even watch the video in its full screen glory :)
