Uh...the movie ended how you thought it should, not how you thought it did. Germs not temps.
Spoilers .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Now I will say that I too was disappointed in the ending. Not because I already knew it but because of just how it was handled. It felt very much like the voiceover endings in Outer Limits. Rule of thumb: voiceovers are a cop out. If you can't explain your story with the events story and instead have to resort to a voiceover, then you have a problem in the storytelling. In the case of the book, the narrative voice WAS the telling of the story. So it was the protagonist telling us the end. It was still a little trite even in the book, IMO, but at least it worked better. Book Spoilers .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. I really liked the movie and felt that it did a pretty good service to the original Wells story, except that in the book there was another whole act. The protagonist reaches the city and IIRC there are a few hangers-on and looters and wild packs of dogs. Then the martians start gassing the place with black fog. Like a mustard gas. After doing so well with the book I was fully expecting the black fog part scenes to take place as well. But it just ended rather abruptly with just reaching the city and the martians dying. Ah well. -Kevin On 8/4/05, Paul Ihrig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > i thought it was suppossed to end with the aliens dying out due to the > common cold & not that they couldnt handle the cold. temperature wise. > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:167985 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
