[edit] Minor plot error
Section 2 (Plot) says: "Robbie attempts to join the battle, and Ray reluctantly lets him go in order to save Rachel from being taken away by a married couple nearby ..." The "in order to" is wrong. Ray does not know about the married couple when he lets Robbie go. 58.174.242.29 (talk) 13:39, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, when he had Robbie pinned to the ground, Ray did look back to see Rachel getting dragged away. Thats where the cinematic 'pause' came in which had Ray and Robbie looking at each other, to be broken with Ray running back to reclaim his daughter. The sentance is correct. Watch the movie/clip of that scene, I'm confident that I'm right. Blooded Edge Contact 18:51, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Just who is responsible for the atrocious grammar?
There's some really poor grammar in this article, especially the "Cast and characters" section (and I'm not even talking about the information itself)... I'm guessing someone who's not too English savvy, which makes me wonder why they even tried to update/edit the page in the first place.
[edit] J. J. Abrams
J. J. Abrams was asked by Steven Spielberg to write the screenplay but was unable to as he was working on the pilot for Lost[1]. Count de Ville (talk) 03:40, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Anti-war
I noticed that under the "themes" section that someone mentioned the film was anti-war. It then goes on to state that Speilberg believes America is threatened by a very real evil today. Those two points seem almost contradictory when put into the context of the film, specifically when the Army fights and destroys the crippled aliens, as well as the scene when the soldiers fight to buy time for the unarmed civilians. How is that anti-war? It seems to convey a need for armed conflict to defend the weak, and the victims of oppression. If someone could explain the anti war theme to me that would be great, thanks!
[edit] Other Releases
Why were there three different versions of War of the Worlds released in 2005? Was this in any way planned, or did three separate studios just happen to arrive at the same decision? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.81.132.28 (talk) 14:43, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
