      it's good to live

      Sitting in the theater after watching this film
      , I feel cold hands and feet
      . The rhythm of the whole film is good . The show is not bad, I really like Dakota Fanning 's daughter with such a refined temperament. She will wake up laughing from a dream! The most impressive picture is: a flaming train whizzes by. I have seen everything I want to see. Even the aliens who never showed up in the trailer finally showed up. Spielberg has not let us down. It's good to live and pray...

      Alien comrades, go back to Mars, the earth is not safe!

      Hahahaha, forgive me, hahahaha, I really can't help it, ouch, Nima, I'm dying of laughter. It has been bloody for a long time, desperate for a long time, life and death have been parted for a long time, and I have been busy in vain. With the great gods such as bacteria and viruses, let's wait for victory.
      Alien comrades, I have told you a long time ago, go where it came from, the earth is not safe, I told you not to listen, I told you to drink so many people, look, hold on, indigestion ,...

      When I saw the synopsis of this movie, I realized that I had read the original book when I was a child.

      The foreign science fiction anthology I bought when I was a child included this "Battle of the Martians", and I was very impressed, because it was the first time I saw the ending [Aliens themselves fell because the earth has bacteria]. I was very impressed. Personally, I feel that the ending of the novel is very good, because such works are meant to illustrate the power of aliens, why do humans have to defeat them? Human so-called heroism simply does not apply here. It's just that the plot of...

      Rehabilitate the title, rehabilitate the ending

      Do you naively think that there is a world war, do you naively think that worlds refers to us human beings?

      Too naive, this piece is to despise how weak we are in the face of "nature", thinking that we rule all living beings, but we are only a part of all living beings, we are also evolved, and are equal to all living beings in the face of the unknown. Alien beings were finally defeated by our mother earth.

      Don't say that the ending is defeated by bacteria, it's microbes!...

      Too many flaws, I don't like the protagonist

      It's okay to imagine; it's just how annoying the protagonists are! ! ! The annoying BB problem boy, can't you talk nicely? ! The neurotic little daughter has gone too far in her performances; Ah Tang, hey, forget about making fun of him, but he did his best. He had to hold Fanning all the way, and he had to perform and run wildly; the
      protagonists were really annoying. Well~ escape, just escape well. You have a lot of things to do. I will freeze it for a while, and I will talk about this...

    Evaluation action

    The sci-fi films of the type of aliens attacking the earth and all mankind facing disasters have long been filmed by Hollywood and cannot be filmed again, but at least the following clichés will not appear in "World War": no significant landmarks have been destroyed, and they have not targeted New York. Unnecessary attacks. The reporters who did not superfluously pretended to know what happened, would not allow politicians, scientists...
