Your son runs towards giant things killing the Army soldiers en masse with heat rays and lasers? 1. Don't do anything serious to try to stop him. 2. Don't worry, he'll be fine for no apparent or adequately explored or explained reason. ~ miquonranger03

  • Well he did try to stop him ~ AKenjiB
  • That was one thing that ruined the ending for me. I was pretty sure he was dead. ~ agentdc7

There are hundreds of alien war machines hiding below the surface of the Earth, which have been there for at least hundreds of years...but for some reason no one has ever found a single one of them. ~ kvn8907

    Tom Cruise has the patience of a saint. Anyone else would shoot those two kids for being so damn annoying....especially Dakota Fanning. ~ njackson84

    • Simply because it's Dakota Fanning, this comment should be #1. ~ dogma420

    Thousand year old machines are better than anything the aliens have today. Aliens buried machines thousands of years ago to use in an invasion. Don't you think the aliens would have developed better machines and technology in a thousand years? That would be like humans burying clubs and spears hundreds of years ago to use in a war today. ~ Sharkus

    • maybe the tripod aliens are kinda like the star wars universe, where there is nothing new and improved, and everything is just perfect the way it was first made....and maybe I'm a Chinese jet pilot too. ~ dogma420
    • They were here to kill the dinosaurs, but they were already extinct, so they figured they'd wait around until we had evolved enough to be challenging prey. ~ bourbonphantom

    The voice of Morgan Freeman is bigger than aliens, Jesus, The Beatles, H.G. Wells, and Orson Welles combined. ~ Pleiades Rising

        Alien invasions provide great covers for unconsciously wanting to get rid of an emo son. ~ Pleiades Rising

                On ordinary days when you can't even move your car on the highway, a catastrophic invasion will, however, conveniently clear you a path. ~ Pleiades Rising

                    Humans may have looked through telescopes at Mars, taken pictures of Mars, and landed unmanned probes on Mars, and not found so much as a microbe. But there's a vast alien civilization on Mars, ready to beam into ancient war machines they burried on Earth. They're just hiding. ~ kvn8907

                      Aliens never improve their invasion techniques even after thousands of years. Especially their biological research. ~ Thalidomide Squid

                        An advanced alien civilization supposedly buried its war machines on our planet thousands, maybe even millions of years ago, instead of conquering the planet there and then when mankind was in its infancy. ~ wildmorgan
