![]() ![]() in the preceeding 150,000 years, we basically slightly improved our stone tool designs. The last 10,000 years of human progress in comparision to deep time, are straight up crazy.Did anything Tom Cruise do change them surviving, or was it just dumb luck? He's not the 'hero' he's just our point of view of an event. Him just pitching up at the end of the film unscathed just speaks to the tone of the film. Please see: The entire of the 19th and 20th centuries. Spielberg really didn't invent young men thinking they can solve every problem by joining the army.I'm glad I finally got to watch this movie, I felt like I was the only one haha The creature designs were awesome, and the reveal of the tripods was legendary. Other than that, it was a pretty good film. The crowd of people that stood there in the beginning during the tripod reveal. Voice over cop-outs instead of revealing those things through the movie. What was even the point of the aliens attacking? What was the fertilizer for, and how come they were drinking our blood? Out of all the people that the basement guy could've helped, why did he only let Ray and his daughter in? I guess the way to really defeat these aliens is to just wait in a basement and hope you're lucky. Instead, we see infantry shooting some Javs and a couple of ultra-short air combat scenes. I was expecting to see more jets, helicopters, the power of the US military, and war at a grand scale. A million years of technological advancement is insane when you think about it. If those machines were underground for possibly millions of years, they are basically extremely old tech for these aliens. Spielberg has an illogical desire for happy endings. Robbie at the end (obviously) and his desire to leave his sister behind to "fight." Wtf was he gonna do, throw rocks at it? Lol. Yeah, there are a few things that don't sit well with me: Would you be a pleasant kid to be around if your parent was never involved in your life? Trying to get rid of you when things go to shit? Tom redeems himself throughout, but I can understand the reasoning his kids had toward him. He was just waiting for the aliens to kill him. His son has no respect for him and steals his car. I believe he just parented at an arm's reach. Like Fanning having a peanut allergy since birth. You can tell subtly throughout the movie, that he doesn't know anything important about his kids. Cruise as the dad was narcissistic in his goal to return them to Boston with 1/3 of it being for safety. ![]() His son Robbie, although rebellious, is right in not trusting his father's intentions. Now, he has a mission to bring the kids to Boston. She brings the kids over for visitation and all hell ensues. ![]()
