War of the Worlds : my 2 cents
[WARNING!! MAJOR SPOILER ALERT]
[WARNING!! MAJOR SPOILER ALERT]
Basically, the story tells of aliens harvesting humans and using their blood as a source of fuel (or food?).. These supposedly highly superiour lifeforms have been watching Earth and the humans in particular since before humans existed. The aliens have planted war machines within the earth to harvest the humans. So when the time came, the aliens enter the machines using lightning as their means of transportation to enter the ground. So the aliens start destroying human civilization, killing some people, and the rest are harvested for their blood. The story ends by the aliens suddenly dying because they were not resistant to the bacteries. The narrator: "and so the humans have earned their right to live".
This may be quite long, so bear with me... :D
- Who uses tens of thousands of year old equipment for battle? These aliens were supposedly highly superior.. So there are no advancements in their war equipments all this time?
- Why bury war equipments then attack? Why not just attack from outer space?
- The machines were buried inside major cities all over the world. If they were planted before mankind, how did they know the location would be a future major city? From when the world was one,the ice age, the national wars, etc.. They must have a really good fortune teller.
- Their war machines was very inefficient at killing... I mean, they are equipped with laser beams! u cant kill in masses using laser beams.. OK.. maybe they were meant to scare people, make them panic and run.. then the machines use their whiplike tentacles to catch the humans to suck out their blood. Again an insufficient way to catch humans. Why not just use a shovel like machinery? or maybe a net?
- Cause of death. BACTERY!?!?! ow come on! they are superior creatures, have been studying the earth for thousands of years, and yet they do not know about bacteries?? Superior dumb is more like it. I mean, how long have humans studied the outer space? b4 they travel to space, they've already studied the air particles, compositions, etc.. Humans use a space suit to provide oxygen and protect their bodies. And yet these superior aliens have never heard of bacteries? The "Earth Research Funds" must have been corrupted by the alien researchers.. Their people must be the spitting image of this beloved country of ours :D

sudah saya bilangkan dari dulu
cara mengatasi serangan alien adalaH:
Ajari mereka makan gulai!
nantinya tujuan utama mereka akan beralih, dari menguasai dunia, menjadi yang penting bisa maakan gulai
kalau alien2 itu sudah berpikir: yang penting bisa makan gulai, maka akan dgn mudah gampang dikalahkan
-hkr-
gulai manusia giling... :D

lohh? saat ini kan sedang diteliti bahan anti tembakan sinar laser! dendeng diperkirakan mampu menahan tembakan sinar laser, dan sangat membantu manusia dalam era perang bintang nantinya...

begitu balik ke indonesia, nanti saya beritahu agar langsung siaga 1 dan disiapkan tim tangguh dari RSJ Grogol untuk menjemput anda.
it's HG Wells. the old days when imagination is primary and science is secondary :P
btw...
pulang dari jerman, saya di jemput ke RSJ grogol.. utk menjengguk pasien rawat intensifnya (Api) bukan??
sebelum akut
sebaiknya ct scan dulu pi, atau ikut konsultasi psykologis rutin :D
-hkr-
hm.. i dont think science was secondary in those times. But because their knowledge of science was insufficient. In the book, the aliens came from Mars (which would have been a joke if it was in the movie) because they did not have our knowledge of Mars. That is the challenge faced when movies are taken from old novels which i believe was poorly adapted in our time.
1. karena ditanam ribuan tahun yang lalu...gak mungkin dong alien sebelum mengeluarkan robotnya harus mengupdate robotnya dengan driver versi 2005 hehehehe...kidding..kalo mau serius, justru itu sangat logic karena homebase alien itu kan dari tempat yang jauuh banget, bukan mars, melainkan ribuan tahun cahaya. 10000 tahun disini mungkin sama dengan 1 tahun disana.
2.karena ini bukan perang, tapi harvesting. kalo dari atas mati semua dong manusianya..
3.mmm...sebenernya di filmnya robotnya muncul from all over the nations, bukan from all major cities
4.bener banget. mungkin biar filmnya seru??
5.karena aliennya salah perhitungan? to err is human (eh, alien bukan human kan...).
well, kalo gwe sih kasih 8 dari 10. cerita menarik, menegangkan, aktingnya bagus banget terutama dakota fanning. yah, memang ada sedikit kekurangan dalam logika.
mungkin kita harus baca novelnya dulu baru bisa paham.
buat hkr, untuk menahan laser, bukan dendeng, tapi martabak, karena dendeng sangat tipis dan tidak mengandung gula. martabak manis yang mengandung gula dapat menyerap laser dengan baik dan siap untuk diluncurkan kapan saja pada masa perang bintang
1. jadi alien nanam robot, pergi selama 1 tahun (=10000thn) trus balik lagi hahaha..
2. ini logika aneh.. jadi nyerang dari bawah ga membunuh? kalo nyerang dari atas ngebunuh? binun sayah..
3. all over the world, tapi di major cities doang. DC, LA, dsb..
4. probably. another movie defies logic
5. like i said.. researchernya nilepin duit riset keadaan bumi :D
