Let me throw this out there for everyone.
OK, the Aliens decided "millions" of years ago to take over the earth (according the Tim Robbins). So they visited earth to drop off thier war machines so that when the time was right they could enslave mankind and claim the planet as thier own.

If you had visited earth that long ago, why not just take it over then? Just stay on the planet and rule it. There were no people around back then to have to conquer. And if there were no people around to conquer why drop off your war machines? Who are you going to war with the apes? ( you damn dirty apes )
AND if you had visited earth long ago to drop off your war machines, being the super smart aliens that you are, why didn't you test the air for germs?

AND AND How did you know that grinding up people in your war machines and shooting them out like fertilizer would help your red weed grow? Although that was kind of cool, Cruise should have been mulch.

Spielbergo really dropped the ball when he decided to let the changes to the original plot happen.
It was much more compelling when the Martians had never been to the planet until the invasion.

Oh well, good ol Hollywood blunders again.

I think that if you are going to follow a religion made up by a bad science fiction writer you should just declare yourself a Jedi. It's actually less creepy somehow.

That is the funniest thing I've heard all day

I saw it and I thought it was good, about half way through though I kinda stopped paying attention and my mind drifted until the ending which I thought was kinda stupid.

I think he left too much to the imagination. The movie was well made, but too many holes. Some camera angles really bothered me.... when they're in the cage on the big 'tripod' some of the angles were TERRIBLE and the fix-ups of it were even worse.

The movie itself in all I'd rate a 6. however most people like to leave a movie not thinking about it, but analyzing it. In all honesty, I'm a movie-goer, but i hate having to think to get answers.

Tom Cruise is an advocate of the sham known as Scientology...
Along with John Travolta.
There are other celebs that believe this insidious tripe, but those two are the most outspoken. Ordinarily one shouldn't be blacklisted for belonging to a religion, but Scientology is only a religion so they don't have to pay taxes.
Furthermore, they dismiss all psychiatry as "pseudoscience" when in fact their methods are thoroughly just that.
Also, Scientology has an active celebrity recruiting program, in which they use celebrties as figureheads to recruit people(and take their money for bogus "auditing" by severly unqualified individuals who use tin cans (really!) Of course they always find something wrong with you, whereas at least some psychologists won't try to con you out of your money unconditionally.

Considering Tom's words presented on television, hopefully people will adopt this "religion". Psychology is stupid; either fix yourself or let a robot kill you dead in the face. People do need to start taking some responsibility for themselves. Goddammit. Everyone should worship Batman.
