This is one of the first horror movies that had a lasting effect one me (for some time at least). I saw it when I was a teenager and didn't really feel any fear watching it. However, I live in Florida, and we have lightning storms often. That exact night, there was a storm off in the distance on a very clear summer night. All I could see when lying in bed was the lighting flashes but not hear rain or thunder. It freaked me out so bad.

[@xDragonchiefx]

Haha I just commented how me and my friends all around the age of 12 saw this movie some time after release and kind of had the same experience. The very same night we saw it for the first time there was a thunderstorm and me and my friends were a little freaked out about the 'coincidence'.

[@jadeandjesse5908]

I always thought that was a great example of people not liking realism. They prefer terrible child actors like 99% of big budget disaster movies who are stoic and just bland plot devices, cause in real life, little kids cry and scream all the time. The kids in this movie are still plot devices but they're at least believable.

@@jadeandjesse5908 Believably obnoxious. This is a movie about aliens who beam to Earth on bolts of lighting but you need a realistically hysterical child? It was overdone and just got jarring rather than giving the scenes gravitas.

[@3DJapan]

The original was read on the radio in 1938 by Orson Wells. He was so convincing that people started freaking out, thinking that we were being invaded by aliens. There was no TV or internet to tell them otherwise.

[@shevawn1973]

There's a Movie about that. Orson Welles did it on Halloween Night 1938. He made a tongue in cheek apology on the radio for the mayhem afterwards. The Movie is pretty good.

[@2345allthebest]

I remember back in the '70s when 94.7 in Los Angeles was called KMET, they rebroadcasted the1938 radio play and it scared the bejezus out of me.... even though I knew it was just a performance.

[@clinton8421]

He did it in the style of a series of news reports. Everyone who tuned in to hear it knew it was fiction, but they didn't think about the people who would be switching through channels with none of the context the rest of the listeners had.

[@seanrobey8335]

What happened was is when they started the show on the radio at the beginning they said it was just a story but most of the people who tuned in late are the people who started freaking out

[@MythicSuns]

The original was a story serial written by H.G Wells in the late 1800s which was eventually turned into a novel.

[@TommyLellan]

I saw this in theatres in 2005 and I swear I nearly had a heart attack during the first attack scene. It was so realistic, really reminded me of the video footage from 9/11. Was surreal.

Saw this in the theater as well, in New York. It was a double feature with Bewitched. Strange pairing

[@deveryhenderson8335]

i was like 8 or 9 and felt the same during the battle scene.

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

The scene with the people attacking to get the car seems scary, but its been proven many people do this sort of thing in a life or death situation. Their survival instinct sets in and they would do anything to anyone to survive sadly.

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

@@ashleypanzica1316 Indeed. It's why humans coming together after an apocalyptic is a bit far fetched. Sure, there would those who want peace and to work together. But there would be way more in groups who want to kill other groups to survive. Fallout games are a pretty good idea of that. Minus the Ghouls, Super Mutants and what not.

[@timrosswood4259]

It depends, a lot of people would freak out and get selfish, but in many real life catastrophes people often work together, so it's not really far fetched because it happens in real life

[@BOFAMET]

@@ThatShyGuyMatt Idk that's what you see in media but a lot of the time disasters and mass catastrophes and even wars in real life end up with more normal citizens helping each other than going crazy. Humans are naturally cooperative as a species and if we just went full blown ape shit on each other any time something major happened then civilization itself literally wouldn't exist. If you want proof of this there's actually studies done on people's behavior during multiple types of disaster events including major terrorist attacks. Most of the time when people hurt each other it's out of mass confusion and panic rather than malicious intent. If humans' first instincts were to fuck each other over at the first sign of danger then we wouldn't have gotten very far as a species.

I remember seeing the first War of the Worlds film from 1953 and I have to say while it is older and may not seem as advanced as this film, the 1953 film freaked me out as a kid the way they designed the alien ship heads that make that eriee noise and how they made the aliens look a lot more disgusting and terrifying than this film did

The "black stuff" coming out of the first tripod was just leftover dirt falling from its joints and other bits of it now that it's up and moving after being buried for so long. It's not pooping. 🤣 Edit: It's also really interesting to see someone reacting to this who was probably a bit too young to really remember the reactionary militaristic response a lot of people had after 9/11, which is what this movie was directly reflecting as far as Robbie's actions.

[@sspdirect02]

Steven Spielberg made this film as a response to the 9/11 attacks. So there’s a lot of visual references to what we saw that day.

[@YogDodoth]

exactly! this is a pro-murica propaganda bullshit made in a rush

[@TheHulk2008]

I liked this movie not only for the fact that I'm a fan of War of The Worlds but for the fact that we got see Steven Spielberg play opposite of what he did in E. T. and gives us aliens that don't come in peace. I was so excited to see Spielberg to take this story because it was a perfect pairing.

[@moody_goose]

This movie is how i would imagine an alien invasion playing out. The way the movie plays out and how people in the movie react is terrifying. Like the scene where they steal his car at gun point.

[@Quantari]

This is one of my favorite films. The tripod horns still send chills down my spine, the music is great, and honestly I love the idea that disease (in the book I believe it was the common cold) is what kills the aliens. So many writers and filmmakers forget that there's a whole microscopic world here, too, and realistically, any alien that exposes itself to our environment is taking a huge risk with microbes.

[@timrosswood4259]

It's a whole lot better ending than a typical "America saves the day"-ending

[@HermanVonPetri]

For a modern updating of the story this is a really good adaptation of the original book. The tripods are impressively intimidating, and that screech still haunts me. This movie made me feel like I did first reading the book. Imagining the breaking down and splintering of society; some groups of humans reduced to herds of animals, some banding together heroically, and others just going insane. The protagonist doesn't travel with his family in the book, but he is trying to get back to his wife. I'm sure the decision to have him travel with his kids made it easier to show the character's worry and desperation onscreen. In the novel the main character links up with small groups of people trying to form resistance cells, which may have been the inspiration to have the son in this film run off to join the army. I only wish they had depicted the clouds of black gas flowing into cities.

[@jamesmoyner7499]

This is one of those cases where the original version of the film is the better one and it won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects. The exact reason for the aliens death is the bacteria of Earth.

[@TommyLellan]

I respectfully disagree. I think this movie is worlds above the original, in part due to Spielberg. It’s one of the scariest movies ever made, and it’s not even classed as a horror movie.

[@jamesmoyner7499]

@@TommyLellan The story isn’t meant to be horror, but science fiction. The beauty of the story is in it’s simplicity- aliens invade people work together to stop them focus on a couple of people as the focus to stop them. We don’t need to know their backstories, family etc. for other films yes that would be nice, but here for this type of story you only need to focus on the actual fight for survival which is where the 1953 film comes in and is still regarded as a classic. It even made it’s way not only into the Criterion collection, but the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress for being Culturally, Historically, or Aesthetically Significant. We won’t have to worry about that for the remake though.

[@DeanStrickson]

I prefer the original because it has actual war in it. The hint is in the title, Spielberg. It would’ve been amazing to see armed forces vs the Martians with updated effects, but all we get are a couple helicopters flying over a hill and far away explosions. A wasted opportunity IMHO.

[@bloopboop9320]

@@jamesmoyner7499 But the original book WAS a horror story. The whole original book was about how humanity falls apart, is fractured, and pretty much everyone who is alive goes insane realizing just how tiny, insignificant, and meaningless their existence is compared to an unrelenting force. I grew up watching the 1953 version, but the 2005 version is FAR closer to the original intent of the book and as far as I'm aware is the best adaptation of the book. The 1953 version is fun, but it is also painfully 1950's where we get scenes of scientists working together to try and stop the evil force and they test out various different ideas and what not. The book is nothing but a downhill onslaught of humanity not standing a chance while following one man's journey in search of his wife (who shows up at the end, just like Robbie did) and all of the horrors he goes through.

I'm honestly surprised they didn't do more with the daughter's anxiety disorder in terms of it playing a role in the tension.

[@FrenchFryCheese04]

wtf

[@bloopboop9320]

So, in the original script, Robbie actually had a bit more dialogue and a few more interactions with his dad. Early on in the movie, after the lightning storm, Robbie originally tried to play it off as an "awesome" experience which was supposed to be a set-up for his character constantly pretending to be in control and always wanting to get into danger. During this scene, his eyes are supposed to have been tearing up as he is talking about how "awesome" it was to see lightning up close, even though he is clearly terrified. I think this was clearly meant to demonstrate that Robbie was a kid pretending to be A LOT bigger and tougher than he really is even though he is truly just lost and confused. This would've made the military scene make more sense because we would have known that Robbie has a history of intentionally acting tougher than his dad just to make his dad look bad. The scene with "Manny the mechanic" getting his car stolen was a little different where Manny actually sees the tripod and refuses to acknowledge that he is about to die, which is why Cruise abandons him to die. Robbie later questions his dad's motives and hints at the idea that "his dad is willing to dispose of anyone who is inconvenient", an obvious attack on the dad abandoning his role as a father. The scene with Robbie leaving to join the military originally had no dialogue in it and it was simply Robbie trying to escape and refusing to speak to his dad, so the whole scene was supposed to be the culmination of a bunch of previous dialogue scenes and possibly the subtext was Robbie choosing to abandon his family in the same way his father abandoned them while trying to take the moral high ground by joining the military. According to the appendix section of the script, it was by the suggestion of a few crew members that Robbie and his Dad should talk during their final confrontation. Having Robbie not talk to his father would have better cemented the rift between the two characters and shown just how far Robbie is willing to go to prove that he is better than his dad and more responsible. The later scene with Tim Robbins I THINK was supposed to be a reflection of Cruise's willingness to kill others to protect his family, but at the same time yet again abandoning/killing people to keep himself safe. All in all, I understand partially why they reduced Robbie's scenes, but I also feel like the biggest part of the movie that everyone criticizes (Robbie's character arc) was not a problem in the screenplay.

my Google feed recently has presented stories by supposed critics who criticize the ending of War of the Worlds as being flat and a let down.. it really cracks me up since it is apparent that they don't understand the history of previous versions.. that's how the story goes.. it's not like you can just change it! great flick!

I saw this movie back in 2005 on my DVD player. I gave it a 8. The narrator's voice was Morgan Freeman.

[@alexglass2927]

I couldn't agree more!!! It's an awesome movie and Tom Cruise is excellent and also the alien ships are super cool!!! 😍 I could watch this over and over again!!! Do Chicken Little since that one has aliens too!!!

[@jessthestylist8694]

So the aliens all died because of all the viruses and sickness on earth their bodies couldn’t take it☺️ this movie is so good but I’m still terrified of it 15 years later!

Happy Easter Nick❤️🐣I hope ur having a great day. I actually haven’t seen this film either. This is a first for me.

[@M3TR01DFANBOY]

[@RandomSubjects]

I've only ever watched this alone and I'm glad to learn I'm not the only one that cries watching it.

[@JoseCastro-rd3tb]

Tbh this movie was to scary for me as a kid and i ended up loving it even though it was

One of Spielbergs more underrated works; and one of John Williams most underrated soundtracks

[@Amused_Comfort_Inc]

Happy Easter Nick 😀 & omg yay ! For a DREAMWORKS movie, from 2005, this movie was way EPIC I didn't see it until like 2011 though lol top tier alien movie ! 👌

Yes kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqTVlKmOhJqrpJo may I ask what name of the movie in video opinion

[@MatthewMcLain12]

THIS is the reaction I was waiting for most from reactors. You are, for the most part (maybe one or two) the first ever person on KZbin to react to this specific War of the Worlds movies. Now, there are many other versions of this type of movie, which I hope you react to, although the 1988 long form series, I’m not expecting anyone to react to as that is an ordeal to get through, but the one set in the 1800s, the BBC miniseries and the 1953 versions I want reactions to at some point. The Asylum version from this same year is terrible so that doesn’t matter to me. Also, the Alien Conquest movie made recently is also a remake which I think you and all other reactors should react to, as my favorite genre of movie is Disaster type movies!!!

[@alefb4015]

Hello there, Nick! I’m so glad you decided to watch this movie! I remember watching it for the first time with my dad. I recommend you to watch next Cellular (2004) with Chris Evans, Kim Basinger and Jason Statham. Take care, Nick and see you in your next reaction

[@davidbarnes1113]

Great reaction! You should watch the original version too, although it’s not as intense or well made, but that’s to be expected from a movie made in the 60’s. Dakota Fanning killed it in this movie for her to be so young at the time, she grew up to be an amazing young actress. She’s so good in The Alienist from TNT .

[@TopSecret2022]

It's amaing the CGI still hold up to this day

Happy easter nick

*"NOT MY BLOOD! NOT MY BLOOD! NOT MY BLOOD"*

[@Walterwhite_cooks]

The narrator part always gives me chills

[@solomoon3083]

I never noticed the parallels between Toms character in that machine at the beginning, and how the aliens operated theirs. 🤔

Movie Recommendations: Spontaneous The Lovely Bones (I'm warning you now, there's a lot of heavy subject matter in this one, don't watch it unless you're in the right emotional mindset beforehand.) Collateral Beauty Fried Green Tomatoes Ten Inch Hero The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Last Night in Soho Midnight in Paris Tick Tick Boom Bridge to Terabithia Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead 13 Going on 30 Down With Love What if? (Also called the F Word in other countries) Midnight Sun Remember Me Mother! (Another warning: while this isn't particularly heavy in subject matter, it is very disturbing in some scenes. Make sure you have a strong stomach before attempting to watch this one.)

[@matthewpulido7912]

Nick, there is one movie that I implore you to react to. It's called Hotel Rwanda starring Don Cheadle. This movie is a true story that will have you totally captivated from beginning to end. It is a story that NEEDS to be told.

[@jamiefunez9558]

I watched this movie with my mom and at the end we both said Aliens are way to smart to die like that it was so funny to me how they were ¨invencible¨ and then they just died

[@jamiefunez9558]

Btw i love your reactions

[@Damalatorian]

Though this being a remake of the movie from the 50th they made the book into a radio play before that and people freaked out because they thought that aliens were attacking for real. :|
