It turns out that they were kidding all along, and actually had 4 legs (they hid them in those skull caps that they gave people)

Re: War of the worlds
Start spolier (Highlight to read)....Ok so basically the book goes like this...
Will and Beanpole return to the White Mountains to find it deserted. This was because the resistance were not sure that Will and Beanpole may have had their brainds scanned while in the City.
At this point they think that Fritz (Who went in the City with Will is dead)
Fritz appears and goes off with Will (after apprearing from the dead )getting more members of the resistance.
The resistance capture a Master
They find out that the Masters can't handle their drink at all and can't detect alcohol in their drink.
There are three citys. A mission is mounted to destroy them by putting alcohol in the water of the Masters.
2 Citys are destroyed this way †“ the third city is not damaged at all. The Masters raze everything around the third city to the ground and kill all the slaves in it to stop anyone trying the same thing.
By this time the resistance have reinvented the flying machine and launch an attack on the third city to try and destroy it. (They've also invented a bomb which will crack the dome on top).....
As the attack progresses the tripods turn on a jamming ray that makes all the 'planes fall out of the sky and so the attack fails.
Meanwhile †“ Beanpole, Will, Henry and Fritz have been practising with hot air balloons. As these aren't electric †“ The Tripod ray doesn't affect them so they use these in another attempt on the Tripod city.
They all miss the dome or are not close enough to do much damage. But Henry lands his balloon on the dome and sets his bomb off. This breaks the dome off and kills all the Masters off.
The great ship that was on the way to Earth turns up †“ blows up the sites of the three City's then buggers off back into deep space.
There is then a 'council of man' where all the people of earth that are left start arguing with each other and split up.
The book ends with Fritz, Beanpole and Will vowing to re-unite all the people of Earth back together.
Anyway that's just a brief telling of the book, sorry if it's crap
End spoiler....

Re: War of the worlds
Its an indipendant film . I think for their budget of around 50p they have done a good job. If it gets released it will only show in little cinemas.

Re: War of the worlds
Apart from the dodgy CGi of Big Ben getting blown up I thought it looked quite good.

Yes, thanks for that.
Who knows if the WOTW films are successful someone in Hollywood may look for a similar vehicle to film.
