- Check Out More Theories: • MY BEST THEORIES The Aliens of Steven Spielberg’s 2005 film “War of the Worlds” are the most mysterious part about the movie, since the characters they’re based on, have a very loose connection to them. They must be explained and solved in review fashion! So in this video, I get past the flaws of this film, and try to piece together the full plan of these aliens, trying to reconfigure what was originally stated by the semi-canon novel by H.G. Wells.

Am I the only one, who actually liked the movie?
Bundes Hase I was afraid when I was 4 now I love it
Bundes Hase I liked it, so no, you're not
No, you're not, I liked it as well
I liked it too
Bundes Hase i felt the same way
When you're a kid this movie could potentially leave you with nightmares for a few weeks...
Clewl Tetsui I had them for months, even ones where I was driving one
That's why all movie and video game have rating age
i still dream alien shts everyday.. is it weird?
Yeah I still have scary flashbacks or the scene where the guy gets syringed or when he gets sucked into that harvester thing
Actually nah
I really love how we were all terrified by this film when we were younger, LOL.
It really shows that despite it not being a perfect movie, it was extremely successful in the aspect of being a nightmare inducing and terrifying Sci-Fi Thriller.
There's so many movies of Ghosts and paranormal stuff, but none of them came close to scaring me as much as this movie.
The Tripods are just pure nightmare material.
Coupled with that sound. That’s the stuff of nightmares..
Bro I'm 21 and it still messes me up
The aliens got Coronavirus
Was waiting for someone to say it
dont let me die from laughing at your comment bruh haha so funny xd xd xd xd loll same
😐
Rofl
i just wanna say that girl.... i godamn hated her, always screaming and damn it never really would have happened the dad would have just taken one look and taped her mouth shut with some breathing holes. at least thats what i would have done also they dont eat! several days and no food! or water! i mean seriously i think we found the master race!
The sound of the tripods moving and that damn horn is pure nightmare stuff
Left scarred as a child for years lmao.
The only purpose of that sound is to let all the humans know that they're f***ed.
@@royaltycomics
assyrians get like "heyyy u got my horn!"
The walking sound haunted me for years
I genuinely like that sound, it's still nightmarish but damn it's satisfying to hear. As a game developer it really makes me want to make a game surrounding the whole concept.
The whole point is that Mother Nature is our true defence and that’s the idea of the book
Spendog Next on novel theory: The War of the Worlds is an environmental story?
Dude you mean GOD is out defender not mother bature
Nature*
@@thevigilant266 god does not exist
night stalker that's in your thinking
This movie scares me a lot and one of the main reasons for that is that it's a very realistic at least in the beggining. The SpongeBob in the Rachel's tv, the trivial stuff ordinary people do, the perspective centralize on the family protagonists, the lack of many music soundtracks... i think this movie could be even more scary if the "Spielberg element" was not present like or if the main characters fighting to scape from that place rather to interact directly with the aliens; watching news, images about them and their horror, a little bit of interactions with such horror but less overly exagerated where everyone is anihilated less the protagonists. More like a european than a typical american blackbuster movie. Of course i can't predict it would work but..
I agree.
Spielberg was obviously in E.T. pg13 mode when he made this.
If he'd switched to Saving Private Ryan Normandy landings mode, the film would have been shocking and horrifying.
He ran over the hill and immediately fell into a cave. By the time he climbed out, the carnage was over.
The blood type idea is brilliant. We developed blood type O, and that was a surprise to them, and poisonous.
Either that or Robbie hid under a military vehicle that luckily didn't get absolutely destroyed by that tripod, stayed hidden until the coast was clear, and then, made his way to Boston.
Anyone remember when the aliens freaked the fuck out from a damn bicycle? 😂
That's because it's their first time seeing one.
They were scared of the wheels because they had never seen them before
@@tmanoutdoors8277 i think they never invented the wheel in their planet as to why they are perflexed by it
I like to think is because they never saw wheels before. They never thought of wheels being an invention. Same goes with the photograph. Perhaps the idea of paper and the ability to permanently capture a moment never struck to them.
Or maybe, the idea struck to them, but they never knew how to execute it! Maybe they were fascinated that we could do it, but not them.
One thing is I think we are aliens from the past, and the government is keeping it a secret so it doesn’t cause a paradox...
Wait so people are angry about the aliens dying from bacteria in the movie but no one is complaining about the same ending in the original story
CXANXDE -Cyanide- cause people want movies exactly like books but when that happens they hate the movie
Well the book was written at a time when germ theory was new. We understand it better now it would make sense to adapt material now. I mean the movie did this all over
That's probably because they didn't read the book and thought that disease weakness was dumb.
The kids were totally unnecessary.
I'm saying! The ending is great! Xenobiology is complex, our best weapon against an alien invasion may very well be biological in nature!
Ending a copout? That was how the story ended, even in the 1950s version.
It's one of the defining features of the War of the Worlds
It's basically one of the most recognizable part of the WotW adaptations, aside from Tripods
Alien: This planet is ours
Germs, Bacteria, and Diseases: *I THINK HE WANTS US TO PUT THE HURT ON HIM...*
*Oh I think he wants us to put the hurt on em*
I'm gonna put a dirt on this aliens eye's...
"The films ending is a cop out"
IT'S HOW IT HAPPENED IN THE ORIGINAL!!!
Tony Fielding he wasn’t saying it was a cop out a lot of viewers were saying that!
@@jkmarblejk7445 Yeah, but still it isn't a cop out at all.
Manly Angel I don’t think it was I actually didn’t mind this movie I thought it was okay better then a lot of films base around the same genre.
EXACTLY!!! To go a different direction would not only dishonor the 1st movie, but the book as well
I’ve found a lot of these “RUclips movie reviewers” (mostly young people) don’t really do the films they review justice and don’t do much research.
H.G. Wells, the original author, wrote War of the Worlds based on the British empires experiences in Tasmania. An advanced industrial power being defeated by sickness and plague.
Sounds familiar
Europeans coming to America died like flies too.
That's interesting.. And I suppose that's also reflected in the red weeds, which was an analogy for invasive species, such as Japanese Knotweed.
It's like the unsubtle allegory between Aliens and the Vietnam war. These high tech, rich armies being defeated by primitive soldiers who fight dirty.
@@Senecart81
europe is a continent you genius from racist U S A
Stop generalizing.
What "europeans" are you talking about you little american?
@@rorrt
Well not exactly because the vitcong were armed constantly by the soviet criminals in charge of russia.
I'm thinking the aliens expired from listening to that incredibly annoying Dakota Fanning scream through the entire film.
Why 8 year old utterly terrified at what's happening
😂😂 like it would’ve been different is she was a kind nice girl but she was always a lil brat
They took it up with Spielberg. They told him to kill them off already 🤣
This movie came out when I was admittedly still young, and I thought it was good at the time. So I'm surprised to hear you saying a lot of people hated it so I've looked at the reviews and it seems like it was well received. 75% on RT. 73% on metacritic. Generally decent feedback all round. Not a slam dunk or a masterpiece by any means, but a solid alien film.
I liked the movie, I just wish that they hadn’t spent a big chunk of the movie in that crazy dudes basement.
True
well that was actually in the original story too, except it was the narrator and a priest!
There's a similar scene in the original movie, except the two people are in a one story house. The scene was set up so you got to see one of the aliens. The 2005 version just dragged it out too long.
That’s actually true to the book.
@@mattwho81 the conept is but the way they did it wasnt
To be fair the book had the same ending.
TheSonicRavn really? That sucks?
Makes a lot more sense in the book as the aliens had not been observing earth for hundreds or thousands of years. At least that's what I remember. I read the book my Freshman year of high school so it's pretty fuzzy.
If I remember right in the book the Martians have done away with all disease on their planet so it cause them to have no immune system
TheSonicRavn, Chris Nunn
I see. Like I said, it's been over 10 years since I read it so I don't remember much. All I remember are the main plot points.
Actually, the ending is more plausible than most people will recognize. Humans are hosts to a ton of bacteria that don't have negative affects such as certain strains of E.Coli. Even if the aliens tried to compensate for the organisms that make us sick, there would be no way to predict which bacteria are going to make them sick. Well, unless they have been the ones responsible for all the "abductions." haha
If they have done away with all pathogens on their planet, their immune systems could have suffered from mutations that make it less effective without the natural pressure of disease. (Depending on how long ago it was.)
TheSonicRavn with a reason why they died
Martians attacks
Coronavirus: so, you've chosen death
I love this movie. It's Spielberg's silent masterpiece. And I absolutely HATED it when I first saw it in theatres.
its funny how people would want to kill dakota for screaming but like, if you were a child in a alien invasion man, you would do the same.
@@serbianslav5494 Wot
I totally agree with you, it is difficult for a child to deal with "them", they are beings that want to tithe you, Tripods are scary, and she was still claustrophobic, so I'm on your side and I understand perfectly
Yes I agree with you, however she stood there staring at a massive killer tripod and then starts squealing instead of oh fuck better run
It depends on the child's personality, some maybe scared and shitting their pants plus screaming out of their lungs, some maybe feels angry because its own planet got invaded by the 3 legged bastards that buried inside the earth for about a million years, some maybe even dont give a fuck and just let it all happen. Like i said it depends on the child's personality not all child just screaming their lungs out when they see a tall 3 legged assholes turning peoples to ashes...
That’s what happens when you raise your kids with no knowledge of the world
The thing that bugged me the most is that the invaders had thousands of machines buried and not one is detected by some construction worker or subway contractor? Give me a break
The aliens,maybe, were hiding too much deep to be discovered by humans...
Depends how deep they were buried
or how they were able to survive the microbes the 1st time burying those machines but not the 2nd time. the microbes existed long before humans.
@@jasonk7675 they warped into it as lightening. And who told you that the ones putting it there didnt die?
@@jasonk7675 They probably had normal inmunity to the microbes in the past, but they lost this inmunity due to not being in contact with microorganisms for a long period of time, because the genetics of both microbes and aliens evolved isolated from each other. To give you an idea of how isolation is a huge factor, just think in the illnesses the New World discoverers brought to America.
This movie fascinated me when I first watched it, but the aliens in the basement scene always scared me as a kid. I first watched this when I was about 10 and it used to be a favourite of mine despite it scaring me.
"They've been watching us for thousands of years"
Yeah, well they must have the average IQ of a human to not see the snow storms we have.
This movie scared the shit out of me when I was younger
Steve Especially the tube eye thing in the basement
Same
Naw what scared me the most was the horn noise and then all the buildings started falling over and chaos and especially the lost of humanity the aliens was something I wasn’t scared about
Had MANY nightmares when i was little kid lol, i can watch that movie many time now tbh
True man
I really appreciate what this film was going for. In the Making Of documentary Spielberg and the screenwriter made a checklist of alien invasion movie cliches and made sure not to do them. This is an alien invasion from the civilian's perspective. We're not given the intricacies of the alien's plan or how the military is doing because an average person wouldn't experience those things. All they would experience is confusion and destruction and terror. And I think the film conveys that sense of terror brilliantly.
Rowan J Coleman iik
I agree so much!! Very well said
Yes, however this has nothing on the musical, that goes by a civilian, the movie does capture a lot of what is in the musical, like the boat they get on.... This is more of an adaption on the musical and they ruined it lol
Ryan Freebody for sure, I thought it was ok, but was missing something, your point about the musical must be true, as I listen to that a lot, and this film I have no inclination to watch it again. That tells you everything!
Hanniffy Dinn Yeah bud, the musicals is amazing.
The thing with music, is that it captures everything on the feelings, for me what makes a great movie, depends on the music they play.
Horrors have that eerie spooky sound, while most of Steven Spielberg have great music in the scenes that are dramatic and gets you more involved..
The musical is longer, I think it's the finer detail and feel to it, thats missing from the movie.
For one, there was no annoying kids in the musical, you had the element of shock, confusion, worry, fear, scary parts when the tripod would interrupt as the story was read out or during a song, excitement at learning how to get around Them all those elements were there in the musical... I'm not normally picky with movies, but the kids should have been left out.
Huh, the blood type theory does make sense. I rewatched the scene where the first Tripod shows up and starts vaporizing people. And as Ray is running away people right next to him are getting vaporized, but he is not. He was literally standing between two people in one shot and one got vaporized and then the other, but he was completely ignored.
This film has literally haunted my nightmares since I first saw it when I was a toddler (I'm currently 21 and will still dream of this movie at least once a year. I'm not exaggerating in the slightest. The aesthetic of the movie and that damn noise... I guess it was just too much for young me.
welcome to the club
Tripod go brrrrrr
@Izado
What scene(s) do you dream of?
For me, hanging out in the basement was THE scariest part of the whole movie!
You and I are probably around the same age and I had the same experience! I'm 22 now and just re watched this yesterday after many many years. I can't remember when I first saw this movie, but I was YOUNG. I probably saw this when it came out on direct TV when I was 5 or 6. I had a nightmare from this movie and I can still remember it to this day. It was of the scene where the ferry tips over and all of these people are trapped in their cars as they sink to the bottom of the lake. I dreamt that I was one of those people. The water was slowly filling up our car and one of those radios that was in the 2nd Jurassic Park movie had floated by our window. Probably insinuating that the radio was our only communication device to call for help. Truly terrifying as a kid. I still remember waking up in my childhood bedroom after that nightmare. Out of everything in this movie, you would never guess that the ferry scene was the one to give a child nightmares. Alas, it did and now I'm afraid of lakes and oceans.
The ending was a cop out?
DUDE ITS THE SAME ENDING IN THE BOOK
Yeah, this guy hasn’t read or even heard of the ending of the book
But that how the movie ends in the original
MobzillaLongTail yea like if you’re guna make money by posting a video about stuff like this then at least do your homework. Read the goddamn book he’s pathetic
He’s saying that’s what a lot of people think, not what he thinks
You read the actual book wow I don’t ever have that kind of time
Um, germs and viruses have been the downfall of the Martians in every version of this story including the original. Spielberg actually held true to the original more than most. For example, the aliens capturing people with their machines is usually left out and one of the more disturbing aspects.
Yeah I agree.
Evaporated? I thought the people were incinerated-hence all the ash?
Evaporation does lead to materials into ash
Alien energy shields: **Exists**
EMP weapons: *Allow us to introduce ourselves*
Evangelion AT Shield: golf my beer won't ya
@@KogetsuKuzunoha not gonna lie evangelions would rip these things apart piece by piece
Despite its flaws, this is one of the scariest, nightmare-inducing films I have ever seen. I thank Spielberg for using part special effects and part allowing your imagination to fill in for what is NOT seen for of its success.
I'd give that title to Signs. Another nightmare inducing alien movie.
@@LucDutra92 yes! Signs!
Mannnnn maybe I gotta give this "Signs" movie a try.
Also YEAAA the special effects were awesome! Any basic director can just use a crap ton of CGI **ahem** *marvel* **ahem**
But knowing when to use them and what kind to use takes a SKILLED person.
I thought that was something they did right
@@newchangeunlisted_viewer5594 Oh what, you wanted Thanos to be a giant onsie, I am sorry for your dissapointment. Sorry, I can get defensive of Marvel movies, and besides, all science fiction stuff nowadays has cgi (although I otherwise agree, you are completely right)
The kids got anoying and ild like to see a proper fight around the world against the tripods
The aliens should have packed some hand sanitizer
Z Tincher BAHAHAHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂😂😂 good one
Lol

Donkey Squidward I know what happens when they get sucked up in the cage
Donkey Squidward wanna know?
How come the aliens didn't wear some kind of protective suit like our astronauts do? They were doomed because of their inability to think things through.
Because despite thier technological advances over humanity they thought us as nothing but animals so when they came to earth they thought they could kill all of humanity without them caring about the bacteria so they were defeated by overconfidence and bacteria
@@benurban8875 Overconfidence is a good word.
Read The Book.
@@benurban8875 Their overconfidence shows a lack of intelligence. They almost behave as if the story writer was from the Earth's past.
Seems like their tripods were more like 'exoskeletons' and they had to swim in that orange liquid while driving it.
The mystery is what I like about it, though. For all we know, they were in cryogenic sleep on some starship only to wake up after millions of years....getting beamed down for a risky mission they were unprepared for. In today's world, the Russians went into Ukraine with superior military tech and got whipped because they were unprepared and lacked logistics. Same thing could be true here - no logistics, just carry out the job.
This could've been the last breath of their civilization and they had no choice but to try and no backup arriving.
I thought the grenades that exploded the tripod destroyed a connection between all the other tripods and they started losing connection and couldn’t be controlled by the aliens , also losing there shield , so then the tripods shutdown and fall and get destoyed .
Lol thats what i thought was the reason that all the tripods started falling . Guess i was very very wrong 🤣
And BTW i found the ending pretty shitty , i mean how was the mom and there grandparents in there house looking like they were having thanksgiving ? 🤣
My opinion
Same
Yea that part of the ending was really dumb
Lol i thought the same thing
I tought the same but i still wonder how a bactiria can demonitize the generetic shield of a machine even if they died to our deseases these machine should still be fully operationel
@@wattsonsnessy2053 the alien who controlled the shielding was probably dead. That, or they were so miserable from being sick that they deliberately turned off their shields and waited for people to put them out of their misery.
I still hear those tripod sounds and me standing on a field with a forest in the distance in one of my kid nightmares
The tripod sounds in the woods is just Siren Head. Nothing to worry about.

Tell it! I think I had bad dreams after I saw this for the first time.
From 12-14 years old, this movie was the shit for me, I’d watch it every Saturday. Something was so unnaturally eerie about the movie.
LoudSoda the sound is making it eerie
LoudSoda, exactly how I felt at that age. I thought the aliens, setting, especially the musical was just so otherworldly. Lol
LoudSoda imo its a masterpiece
Probably Steven Spielberg, he always seems to make such freaky movies. Id on't know, I think I get that same feeling, well... it's spooky to be honest ^^
I was 7 when this was released, it scared the shit out of me.
This is the VERY FIRST video of yours I watched, VERY cool very INTERESTING!! Thank you for sharing it! I know how hard it is to produce them! I Subscribed and hit the like plus clicked the notification bell!!!!!
That's crazy. This movie was amazing. The story is about a father trying to keep his estranged kids alive in a time of uncertain doom and by the end of it all he proves himself to be a loving and caring father. It's not really about the aliens.
The "death by germs" part for killing the aliens in the end was actually in the book so it wasn't a cop out. It was actually quite clever, but the book was from the late 1800s and in recent years movies have used germs too frequently as either an antagonist or ex machina that modern audiences reject such a plot twist.
....
Independence Day was just a remake of the original War Of The World's. There's even a scene where Will Smith's love interest takes and old truck and picks up survivors, one of which looks just like Gene Barry from the original movie. They at least had the sense of mind to use a computer virus to help kill the aliens instead of a real one. In all actuality, there's a better chance they would infect us with something nasty instead of us infecting them, our own history is littered with the corpses of those who came into contact with Western Europeans and had no immunity to smallpox.

Not Alien Alien Tripod
And that’s the ending of the movie THE END
Ok I'm too old for this shit
Dude this was always my favorite movie at time
Im addicted to that first tripod scene, i've actually seen that more than 50 times
I think it has a GREAT INCREDIBLE concept, those tripods are amazingly beatiful, scary and awesome
But about the storyline, thats true
They pass 1/4 of the movie inside the crazy dumbass guy's cottage. I understand that that's for making us scaried, and all, but the movie is too short for all the time that those cottage scenes take from it
Out of that, i really love this movie, it would be a dream to see a remastering or a number Two, even knowing thats kinda impossible, cause Spielberg wouldnt try it again with all this hate from community
Anyway, thats it
And that Tripod loud sound is AMAZING, I JUST GET TOTALLY GOOSE PIMPLES WITH THAT
also, the movie is based in late 20th century or early 21st century unlike the book based in 1913 so they could use more advanced shit for more good reviews like apaches, grenades, humvees, etc.
I absolutely loved the scenery; the lights of explosions going off in the distance and reflecting off the clouds when they're at the hill beside that crazy guys house, the sound and visual effects were just amazing in that scene. The Hudson Ferry scene is a personal favorite, like when Ray and his family looks to the ferry (that is tipped over btw) and seeing all that happening in the background; the tripods picking up people, hearing distant screams, and also how it's raining which makes it look more dramatic. I absolutely love that movie, best visual effects and audio I've ever seen and heard
Aiden Nahachick this scene after the ferry is INCREDIBLE AMAZING
@@RastakhanFromdeOtherSide I absolutely love the scenery, that's one of the main reasons I love the movie
I remember this watching when I was 8 years old . This pertified me, It's been a decade and a year ago and up to this days I still remember this movie. I love this.
The films ending is the same as the book, and honestly I think it's a pretty clever and fun twist. All our technology does nothing, but simple bacteria kills the aliens. It makes sense scientifically too, the aliens bodies have never encountered diseases like influenza so it would ravage thier bodies.
My only issue is, with how smart the aliens are, you think they would have for seen this and been in hazmat suits and never even consider leaving thier tripods.
Sayori-chan
It wasn't about them leaving the tripods, it was about them feeding off human blood
It actually makes no scientific sense at all. Bacteria and especially viruses are extremely specific, and can only target very specific organisms. The very specific cells that build very specific tissues of those very specific organisms to be precise.
This is why majority of diseases are species specific, and even the exceptions like rabies still are limited to a certain pool of closely related organisms.
Hell, this is why we can diagnose diseases based on the symptoms alone! Because only a specific type of tissue is affected by them!
So no, is not scientific at all. It just falls under a high quality technobabble.

@Dana William The device itself can be and would be protected. You can wrap the trigger unit in a Faraday bag like wall insulation, inside of the weapon. (however this works) I think you are confused. Most of these army procured devices ARE PROTECTED internally and has nothing to do with being inside or outside a vault. Vaults and lead boxes are not how devices and equipment you have to use are shielded. Google "Faraday Cage."

I liked the movie except for the daughter. If she just screamed a little less .
She's kid.
And there is an alien in the world.
she's kid, and her dad are fucking poor stupid dumb and a loser
if you dumb poor or loser, PLEASE.. DO NOT HAVE KIDS
thats why i never wanted a kid

Your a huge grump
I always wondered why she screamed so much and didnt cry all the time. Kids cry...all the time. For the littlest of shit, too, she should be crying 90% of the time when she's screaming. Hell, maybe 100%.

I gotta say this movie was still good at keeping me at the edge of my seat, and i really got immersed and enjoyed watching it
One of the best movies i watched when i was little
I might be the only one but I absolutely love War of the worlds by Stephen Spielberg
Same
You’re not the only one
I love it. It's one of the only horror movies I will watch.
if you (read} the book you will see that the movie is a bad rip off and quite an average movie .
I love this movie dude, same.
I wish we could see the inside of the tripods
Well, it's full of buttons and switches inside the Tripod but the Marsians (which it was'nt mentioned in the movie hence Speilberg confirmed that the aliens must have came from the same universe from E.T. but much darker side) were smart enough to push all the buttons.
Probably more like something out of Ghost in the Shell.
Judging by all the orange fluid that came out, they were probably swimming it, to act as an inertia buffer for safety and to make the inside as comfortable as possible. The controls were probably biomechanical in nature and would function like a virtual reality suit for the pilots. That way the tripods would become like an extension of their bodies, allowing for optimal control and navigation. Which would explain why the tripods would behave in a delirious manner, like the machines themselves were sick when it was actually the martian pilots that were behaving that way because they were getting sick.
Like a drunk driver, the car isn't drunk but the driver is.

Trust me, it's worst than a vagina.
That would have been so cool in my opinion. =)
There's a scene on the ferry where what I think is a nurse shouts "We have more blood than we can use, unless you're O- Or RH- I think, and the RH- is supposed to be a hybrid line.
Just watched the movie, haven't seen it since I was a kid. I still find it to be quite good tbh. Yes the story and writing is kind of poor but the fear factor it brings is enough for me. I still find the pods to be terrifying, especially the sound they make and I still love the basement scene
I honestly liked the movie. Hearing that people hated it shocked me.
It was not bad at all, I loved Tom's performance in it. the dude could act n make us immersed in the film. it was an alien invasion movie but focused on a family like close encounters,
I swear people expected it to be independence day
Zoran Hyde I haven’t seen it since... probably 2006 but I loved it, actually got me kinda into movies... I still remember seeing the trailer during... I think lemony snickett and I was so hyped that despite not going to a theater for almost 5 years before that, I saved the date, saw it release weekend... and the next weekend... then it came out on hbo or whatever and I watched it a few more times... I absolutely love more personal stories rather than the larger “look at this entire city get destroyed” types... they both have their place but give me a choice and I’ll choose the former nearly every time
Zoran Hyde same tbh
the build up of suspense was masterfully done, it harkened bk to the old days of Speilberg movies.
same
The sounds the tripods made is still the best movie audio ive heard to date😎
Besides arrival.
Check out the album Visitors by Eximia, hope you won't be disappointed!
I smell a Cryo Chamber reference
Yes. The damn noise. I love it. I could literally listen to it for a solid month.
Check out the horns in the sky sounds on RUclips.

Saw this movie as a kid scared me. The tripod is what did it.
deadass didn't sleep for weeks when I first saw this.
Same 😐
How old were you
I was 13 when I experienced this lol.
@Devin McMullen ikr.
This movie and the tripods terrified me as a kid. Yes you can nitpitck and criticise the story. But when I watched it, I felt I was immersed in this terrifying atmosphere, the film was so atmospheric, even the beginning intro to it was all mysterious and creepy.
Ezio Auditore Same here. I saw it on TV with my grandma...
Ezio Auditore im still terrified
The thing that terrified me the most was the sound that the alien machines made.
J.Fragoso YES! It was always the sound that terrified me as a kid!
J.Fragoso
Holyshit this. Fuck this right here. Terrified shit out of me as a kid
For anyone who knew of HG Wells' War of the Worlds, we all knew how the movie would end. How are germs a copout?
I love the tripods and the sounds they make is so cool
in the ferry scene, there's a first aid woman talking through a megaphone about blood donations
You made me laugh because what if she is a alien that just took over a human body or something like that 🤣😂😅
That's a fair point . Indeed people can't bleed because of the aliens, they're usualy just vapourised. So it could be they are collecting blood to give it to the aliens !
Irony lol
Jacob Means anyone wanna give blood donations? Of like all of your blood, just so you know... no one is hurt it’s just so we have it... no ones injured but like just Incase ya know?
Also only be AB+ blood please

I hate the "buried tripods" thing. You mean, with all the digging and construction we've done over the last hundred years and we never uncovered one?
neil armstrong maybe theyre really really REALLY deep
They might not have been there that long. Nanotechnology programed to assemble a tripod in a few days, when the work is completed the Martians come down to pilot them
The buried tripod concept was the true strength of this film. Build your tools and bury them deep.. no one would ever look for aliens coming up from below the ground. When the world is ready to harvest, a surprise climb up from a mile down would possibly be far less detectable than craft flying in from space. Besides, they could have seeded life here with plans to come harvest it millions of years later and situated the machinery in very undetectable locations. We borrowed this concept for Resistance the Fall of Man and it opened up tons of ideas for story and timeline scenarios.
or if they we're already here to bury them what we're they waiting for? Like there is actually 0 reason to wait. If they wanted to wait for the population to grow why not breed them like cows? And if they had been there already why weren't they killed by bacteria and viruses from the first visit?!
Benjamin Lafever the virus and bacteria is caused by humans, they visted the earth before humans. Now i dont know if spilberg was using the "adam & eve" or darwin's human evolution theory in this movie as to how humans come about
The horn of the Tripods still I can hear it in my head. Haunted me since the first I watched the movie. .
I actually really enjoyed this movie! I had nightmares for years as a kid after seeing this movie and that reaper-esque noise the Tripods make still gives me chills!
I hate it when people call the vaporization in this movie a 'plot hole'. Its not, if you re-watch the movie and think a little about it, it actually makes a lot of sense.
First lets sum up the main instances where the aliens zap everyone:
The first is from the point where they emerge from the ground, all the way up to the ferry disaster.
The second main instance is the epic hill battle scene.
Here is why, atleast to me, the vaporization makes sense:
We see that the alien storms disable our electronics and cars, which means it greatly disables our mobility. The aliens then come up and apparently blast the heck out of everyone and everything at random. We see this leading upto and during the ferry scene. And this scene is KEY. Look where everybody is going! A LAKE!
Us humans move much slower in water and are therefore even more immobilized. To me it seems like the aliens are herding us to these places where we are trapped and easily surrounded, since it is in this scene where we first really experience the hentai tentacles. All these humans were such an easy grab, all led to this place by the fear and terror of seeing our loved ones getting incinerated.
Another element that supports this theory is the fact that on the other side of the lake, where everybody is trying to flee towards, the people from that direction are trying to flee AWAY from there towards the direction our main characters just came from. Why? Because they too are being chased into this area. The aliens are simply scaring us and directing us to areas where they can surround and collect/manage us much more effectively.
The second main instance is ofcourse the hill battle and the reason why theyre shooting everything here is easy: the aliens are getting shot at by lots and lots of puny humans in puny tanks and what not. If we were shot at by an inferior force, we would nuke the fuck out of them aswell just to show them who'se boss.
Besides, the aliens arent just killing everyone. We see a few scenes later (in movie time it would be later that night and the following days) more tripods scavenging trough all the houses and basements and actively hunting the people around.
So there ya have it, this is why I think the vaporization is definitely not a plot hole, but more of a tactic.
You are ofcourse welcome to disagree :)
much, much better theory
I agree, but my theory is more of a question....
How the hell do those shields work, i never got a true answer to how they work....
XxMCgamingxX Unknown probably the head has some projector that creates a dome which happens to be invisible
Id say the vaporization is because it was testing out if its weapons still work incase there is a bigger threat to them, but the part about herding them down to the ferry only to ambushed them with a tripod underwater is actually a good theory. To add on to that about the hilltop battle or that bit where you get an overhead shot (right before a tripod walked by without seeing the trio miraculously) from a distance people still getting zapped. They dont want a single human being left on the planet and they probably couldnt carry too many people inside their cages, though they harvest on the go, they dont want the hassle of letting humans hide in hard to reach places only for them to get out and expose themselves to the bacteria
Your theory is much better then the one he explained in the video. Not trying to hate, but this one you explained right here made much more sense than the blood type.
I remember seeing this movie when I was 6, pretty sure I shit my pants
The main I was wondering about the hill scene is what did the other side look like. I also wondered what happend to Robby.
The horn sound is still giving me chills
I thought the movie was Cool 👍
Same
the aliens died from Aid's.
Stormtrooper Carl yeah I think they abducted Charlie sheen
Jack Luke please add , and . To make it readible(not making fun of you im not a native speaker either)
Jack Luke huh all those people at the begining beginning of the movie AIDS and Cancer and uncureable diseases.... I bet
....
Jack Luke
Minor nit pick... cancer/lukemia are curable. It just takes treatment specific to the type of cancer and thei genetic mutations that are causing it.
"The cure for cancer" is a misnomer. There is no such thing as one single treatment that will cure all types of cancer. Each type is disease unto itself and responds to different treatments (radiation, different chemotherapy drugs, immunotherapy) Furthermore, even patients with the same type of cancer respond differently to the same treatments. Chemo is actually very specific to the types of mutations causing the problem. There are many kinds of Chemotherapy. The idea that Chemotherapy is always the same is common misconception. (I'm a pharmacy tech with certification for mixing the chemo medications)
+Billy McAuliffe Maaaaayybee
A little late to the party, but I loved this movie from the moment it came out. And the movie it self actually supports your theory regarding blood types. In the ferry scene, there is a woman from the Red Cross calling out for people with certain blood types, and those people are boarding from the side of the ferry. Once the tripods attack, they are scooping up those people from the Hudson, not zapping then. It’s possible that this was supposed to be in the movie, but Spielberg didn’t have time to get into it.
My .02 :)
Idc who says this is a bad movie
I grew up with this,and still love it to this day
Well in the book they could only watch us with telescopes. On their dying homeword they never experienced plague or realize their was such an extensive microverse.
You have to realize at the time microbiology and immunology were relatively new concepts. In modern day it may seem stupid but perhaps the aliens never experienced infection like earth.
Illier1 Didn't They get rid of pathogens on Mars in the book?
Yea in the book they were able to remove every pathogen and after millions of years grew or evolved unimmume to them due to a long period of time of not experiencing them.
They’re back! HIDE THE O POSITIVES
YES SEARGENT
what do you mean?
@@luluparl1245 Imma give you a solid bruh
@@luluparl1245 I think he means is that the aliens were looking for a very certain type of blood... Blood type O positive, I'm not too sure though lol
@@turdmanjones59 🤔🤔🤔
@@turdmanjones59 blod type 0+ seems to be less vulnerable to covid 19 indeed
There is also a scene where there are doctors looking certain blood types as if these exact blood types were scarce
Here’re some plot holes.
-The aliens getting sick for some reason made the giant water towers (Tripods) walk around strangely and fall, according to an American soldier “...in circles....”
-The aliens getting sick made the giant water towers deactivate their shields.
-At the end of the movie they realize the shields are off because birds fly to and land on the giant water towers, but earlier in the movie the giant water towers snatched people and put them on the giant water tower even though the shields were up so the shields are not consistent.
Also a problem with your hypothesis is that they can’t tell blood type just by looking at someone, and definitely wouldn’t have had the time to check Robby’s blood type in the midst of all that fighting.
One reason it was more logical the aliens in the book then did not predict the germ problem is because the Martians where not that advanced by SF standards, they did not have FTL or real space ships. The Invasion was one of desperation, literally shooting themself at earth in hope of escaping their dying world.
The ending is a copout, it is only the ending of the book. And a very good ending.
That horn is so haunting the way it stands over the mountain...... fuck that!!
I will not be able to sleep tonight after seeing the still image of the alien
Thought it was excellent, really scary. A giant catastrophe--the aliens were awesome.
The tripod horn just makes me smile..Love it 👽
I agree
the horn spielberg took from the BBC show Tripods late 70s/early 80s
They used that in ROBLOX -9 year olds
@@kieranlindsay1220 They didn't take it from that. The war machines made a sound described as "Oh-laaaa" in the books, and this is their take on that sound.
Only good thing in the movie, the Tripods and the noises they make
bro i cant belive people dont know this masterpiece.
Real cool theory. It makes me want to watch the movie and to pay attention to the "villians" now. I never watched it as a kid and forgot it until now haha
Idk I think the aliens dying from germs is a good ending it sorta like when the Europeans came to the americas
Europeans brought the germs tho, they have been through it all since they have been living in disease ridden cities for centuries.
Well for starters, it was the native inferior race which died from the diseases of the invader in your example. Which makes it a bad analog. K2 and K3 civilizations have 100 problems but forgetting 1950s microbiology isn't one of them.
Titus Veridius “native inferior”. Bruh
@@spicec3613 Obviously a reference to intrinsic civilization features; population doubling rate, technology, institutions, and population density as it relates to disease prevalence and immunity. I see your mind immediately goes to the racial self worth angle though. Amirite? ^.^
That’s actually what the original book is based on
It still has better rating than justice league
Kieran Cheale hell Twilight is more compitent than Justice Leage
Love this movie, Actually was on a kick of watching it again and it aged well. I found the theory and the comment below interesting. I wish we knew more about the aliens and if some were remaining on their home planet after the movies events. I always wish we got a sequel to this or at least at comic about the aftermath and wondering if some of Ray's friends survived.
It's always cool to hear a review of this film. I loved the movie. To me, it was better than the 1953 classic with Gene Barry. The later, British TV version was also good. But, this Spielberg take on it is my favorite version. The movie ended the same way as H.G. Well's book, and was explained mightily in the book, as well, by Morgan Freeman's voice-over (which came, word-for-word, directly from the book). The tripods, the Tim Robbins character (he was the curate in the story) also came right from Wells' classic tale. I found it even scary and unnerving when it first started out. Cruise and his neighbor are discussing the extremely odd cloud formations and how the winds are blowing the opposite direction from what they normally would. Imaging oneself experiencing that initial oddity is already a bone chiller, as if "What's up?" I enjoyed this video as well as reading the various comments and opinions.
