No. The air force base in this movie is not the same one used in HG Wells's War of the Worlds. How do i know? Because Wells's story in set in the time and place it was written, ie Victorian England. Not too many US air force bases back then I think. The 1950s movie of the same name had very little to do with Wells's story, but the air force base comes from that movie.

They just cannot pay attention to what they are talking about half the time. One second he is talking about the original movie, then instead of saying it was the same air force base as that, they go to the original story, which as you say, was certainly not set at any kind of non existant at the time air force base. But this is also a bunch of guys who mention the toy fire engine being the only model used in that scene as all the other cars were hollowed out stunt cars, then later says pretty much all the cars in the film were scale models.
@MrManAmong4 жыл бұрын
He said “story” instead of movie. Clearly it was simply slip of the tongue. That Air Force base was in fact the one used in both MOVIES. The base was built in 1943 and decommissioned a few years after ID4 was wrapped up. So yes, it did exist during the time period of the Wells story and movie. You guys all took a little mistake and ran with it like he has no idea what he’s talking about. Y’all are basic af lol
