The movie would have been much, MUCH better if the son hadn't magically re-appeared at the end of the movie. He should have stayed dead. That whole end thing sucked. TRIVIA - the grandparents were played by the leads from the original WAR OF THE WORLDS. And another thing.

It makes no sense. Furthermore, if the tripods represent their technology as of a million years ago, think about how much better their equipment must be now! It's like they buried Fred Flintstone's foot powered car, and when they came back a million years later, the aliens decided that it was still a better weapon for invading than the new anti-grav hover cars they had invented in the intervening millenia. So, did they have to "down train" their soldiers to use the old tripod technology? I guess they kept the manuals in storage for those million years.

As long as you just focused on the cool lasers, it was a lot of fun. Exactly! As long as you just focused on the cool lasers, it was a lot of fun.

It seemed like quite a stretch that the aliens are perfectly happy to "breathe our air, drink our water", etc. Even we dumb humans wouldn't do that on some strange planet with a strange atmosphere that needs terraforming... Other than that it was great! I completely agree with what you are pointing out.
