springymajig Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Well for a start, it's from a series of children's books that I think was released in the 80's maybe early 90's. I've read the first one, which this film is based on, and it was quite fun and felt like it was gonna have a point but then it got to the end and was more or less like... Stay tuned for part 2! Which was really dissapointing. Secondly, in the books, what's quite interesting is that the author intentionally made the "enemy nation" vague, basically describing them looking and sounding like they could be from anywhere so as not to come across xenophobic and to focus on what the story was really about: action and (poor, childish) character development (I said it was fun, it wasn't particularly deep). This trailer looks almost EXACTLY what I imagined it to be, in fact I guessed it was Tomorrow when the War Began within the first few seconds. The only thing that's different is that they look A LOT "prettier" and hollywood than I imagined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest analogue wings Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 That sounds like the kind of book you would read at school if you lucked out and nobody told you about the Tripods Trilogy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOCfan Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 It's got a cat from Home and Away in it, too. Also, Neighbours is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springymajig Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 That sounds like the kind of book you would read at school if you lucked out and nobody told you about the Tripods Trilogy Yeah pretty much.... it's more or less worthless but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't entertaining. I just don't think it's something bad enough to make a whole thread to hate on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delet... Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I thought it would have been better if it turned into a slasher film. originally, that's what i thought the trailer was getting at.
