A story about "War of the Worlds" — 4 years ago
I would have really, really loved War of the Worlds had it not been for a couple of annoying plot holes that could have easily been corrected without impacting the film at all.
1) The tripods shouldn’t have been buried.
2) The narrator shouldn’t have said that we were being observed prior to the invasion.
3) The narrator should have made mention that the invasion was very hasty or something.
Honestly, I just can’t buy that an invasion force that had hundreds of thousands if not millions of years to plan and had already been able to put hardware in place would be defeated by common micro-organisms.
Yes, I realize this was their demise in the book. However, in the book, they landed in giant artillery shells and had been observing us with telescopes. Significant difference.
