yeah, the movie was 2 hours of running from huge aliens, and then out of nowhere they all die, everyone lives a happy life.
and the kid coming back was dumb. I knew it was coming too, but after the movie being about how horrible the aliens were, that scene in the beginning where cruise is running and every other person got cooked gave the movie a feeling that it was going to show the sad reality of how humans were being killed off. then at the end all the main characters live and better yet have come together because of it. it makes sense that he would have made it there first though, since tom and the girl were chilling in that guys basement for a while.
the part I didnt get was why the aliens buried those machines a million years ago or whenever they did. why wouldnt they just take over the planet while they were here the first time. were they in a hurry to take over other planets and thought to themselves "hey lets leave the stuff here, and after we make our rounds, we'll come back and THEN take over the planet. Awesome"
And if the machines were here the whole time, then that means the aliens were here before, which means they would have breathed the air before. i thought the point was that the bacteria killed them. theres no way they were here before there was bacteria, so it should have killed them all the first time they were here.
the aliens just landed from space in the book so it makes sense, but they never give us a reason for it in the movie. one of the most memorable scenes in the book, movie, and radio broadcast was the scene where the farmers go out to the crash site to try and greet the aliens and are melted.
I wonder why they changed that?
also that scene were tom kills tim robbins was wierd.
