I actually think Sign's "water" ending is worse than World's "micro-scopic bacteria" ending. If we had to compare which aliens were dumber, it would be the ones that went to a planet where a lethal liquid is practically EVERYWHERE. About 70% of the Earth's surface. Inhabitants have easy access to it (faucets, bottle water, they drink it constantly), it falls out of the sky periodically, etc, etc....Out of the two mistakes these aliens make, overlooking microscopic bacteria is at least more plausible in my mind.Please, let's remember that the director isn't responsible for all that goes on in a movie. This movie was adapted to screenplay by Josh Friedman and David Koepp.Also, I think WotW would've been stupid if it went the Signs route and showed less aliens to show more human drama. Why make another movie like Signs? Signs did it already. Okay, I recognize the many holes in this movie too, but this one you're pointing out is a bit reaching. Didn't it occur to you that the Tripods in the river crossing scene have been out of the ground for a while now already? And that it was a moving group of Tripods that have come upon the ferry area?What Droogie said.Anyways, I agree with the complaints of1. The son appearing at the end alive.2. The silly invasion plan of the aliens - bury our machines ages before and then come back later.3. The improbability of an alien species this advance overlooking the microscopic bacteria.These are the major flaws of the movie to me. Everything else was done well enough. I mean, yeah ... I have some personal beefs (like with the design of the aliens themselves - didnt' like it), but that's just nit picking. The above 3 are the flaws that lowered the rating for me and kept the movie from scoring higher. I gave it a 7 out of 10. A bit generous of a score, but hey....it was fun to watch.</blockquote>
