That's another bit from the original novel as well, where the narrator postulated that the Martians never invented wheeled vehicles simply because all their machines use legs rather than tires.The aliens who explore the basement our human characters are hiding in show a lot of fascination in a bicycle tire, hinting that for all the greater technological advancements they have over humans, they never invented a tool as simple and practical as the wheel.

Hot Dad: Ray spends the whole movie looking pretty good for a father of two.

Hollywood Tactics: The military's straight-on charge against the alien machines (which have already proven to be invulnerable to conventional weaponry) in order to save the civilian refugees.

Hey, It's That Voice!: Morgan Freeman does the opening and closing narration.

Hey, It's That Guy!: 'Maverick''s old RIO 'Merlin' offers him and his daughter shelter in his basement.

It's immediately terrifying and a signal that something really bad thing is happening or going to happen if you hear one in the distance. The loud foghorn-like cry that the tripods occasionally give out makes them sound as much like a living creature as a machine.

Five Rounds Rapid: 'No effect!' 'Keep firing!' Justified since they're only trying to delay the invaders until the civilians are evacuated.

When she sees the heat ray, Rachel even asks 'Is it the terrorists?' The shot of the vaporized victims' clothes floating down recalls the paper falling from the sky after the towers went down, the shot of Ray covered head to toe in grey ash after escaping the first tripod, and there's a pretty deliberate shot of a wall covered by pictures of missing people.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: The alien invasion has many deliberate similarities to 9/11.

Deus Ex Machina: Even more so than in the novel, since the aliens' vulnerability to terrestrial microbes isn't mentioned until the closing narration.

It needs to cool down its targeting system.

In the scene, the rocket just flies joyfully at full power. The Javelin has so-called soft launch system, in which the missile just pops out of the tube and then engages its engines, so as not to fry the operator with the backblast when firing in enclosed spaces. Portrayal of firing the weapon is just wrong.

Did Not Do the Research: In one of the last scenes, soldiers are firing Javelins at tripods.

Deflector Shields: Although without them, the tripods will go down to hand grenades and LAWs.

This basically sums up their relationship for most of the movie neither of the kids pays any attention to what he tells them to do, he knows barely anything about them and he clearly has hardly any real relationship with either of them.

Calling the Old Man Out: From Robbie just before he tries to run off with the army guys (first time round) he calls Ray out on the fact that he's probably only taking the kids to Boston so they'll be with their mother - and less of a worry for him.

And, for some reason, he is given the name of a third completely unrelated character (the astronomer).

Composite Character: Harlan Ogilvy is the artilleryman combined with the curate.

Of course, these are the ones that are responsible for the aliens' defeat.

Book Ends: The film begins with a zoom out from some microbes, then at the ends it zooms back in on those microbes.

Bizarre Alien Biology: The aliens are made three-legged, to tie in with the appearance of their machines.

Tropes used in War of the Worlds (2005 film) include: (The one by Latt even got a sequel but with a different director.) Confusingly, these two films were both named H.G. Directed by David Michael Latt and Timothy Hines each. Not to be confused with two other separate War of the Worlds films released the same year ( which the crews didn't discover the other two were making movies on the same novel until after they started production or was done so by design to snub it) directly to video which were overshadowed by Spielberg's production. Action ensues between attempted moments of heartwarming. It's a war between alien life-forms and humanity. After about twenty minutes or so showing family life with his family, metal tripods with lasers start landing in New Jersey. He has two kids whom he wants to be a better parent to. Wells book of |that name.Д¬ruise is a divorced dad living in a modern-day New Jersey suburb. A 2005 film directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Tom Cruise, and very loosely based on the H.
