I've heard some people say this is one of John Williams' lesser soundtracks, but I think it's one of the best because of how unique it sounds. As I understand, Williams began composing the score while there was not enough footage from the film, so he worked based upon his own interpretation of what the movie would be like. If that's the case, I think it's amazing, because there's something in the music that sounds more akin to the tone and thrill of the original novel than the film itself.
My dad wanted to watch War Of The Worlds. I thought he meant the recent one from the BBC but nah he got so pissed at me he was like "Nah nah nah not this HORSESHIT. Put on the one with Tom Cruise. That one is pure perfection,ya moron" 😂😂😂 and I agree with him lol
This song gives me a feeling and a thought that humanity beat the Aliens, but it was only 1/3 of half of their race and the final song feels like they're still watching us and coming up with another plan.
The book was about the top dog (in both influece and military might) nation of the time being curbstomped by an alien invader. If adapted to a modern setting, it wouldn't make much sense to keep the story on England. Of course, i'd rather have Spielberg made the movie as a period piece instead.
justo en la materia de lenguaje musical nos pedían que buscáramos canciones con compases irregulares (de 5/8 o de 7/8), y no encontraba ninguna, hasta que vi esta peli (por millonésima vez) en la tele y dije "OH POR DIOS!

Why is it so great and adictave to watch War of the World.Personaly my favourite movie and book.Never underestamate the Aliens or what they bring.Great and astonishing jod Steven keep up the awsome work.
The older I get, the more I question, how did I miraculously not get traumatized by this movie when I was 8 yrs old watching it for the first time when I found it online. 😐
Yes they did it was because Spielberg was nodding to the fact he does a lot of Alien movies and it was a slight joke to Lucas who said no they are not Aliens they are multi dementional beings Spielberg said " ...ok so aliens. " fun fact is Steven Spielberg tried to back out of indie 4 once he found out the alien idea but was committed to his promise to George Lucas
I highly doubt it. Movie soundtracks are usually created and reserved for its initial movie. It may have resembled this theme song, but it likely wasn't the actual theme used for the other film
the thing that made me sad to find out is that john williams has ghost writers.... he just makes up the main melody and then has other people add in the rest of the stuff for him!! I literally almost cried when i found that out!! :(
@roflmao897 Revenge of the Sith was composed the same year, that is why this looks a bit like "General Grievous" (track 5 of the soundtrack), the rythms are almost the same, but the both scores are still very different from each other.
Story-wise I like the 1953 version better, but music-wise I like this version better. Too bad we canlt get a mash up of the 1953 version with the music of the 2005 version.
they want our blood, they want our destruction, they want our...planet seriously, this movie is a masterpiece, really wish a new one would come out that is a little more true to the book
@MrDetwaa Even though you replied to a comment that is a year old, I feel the need to reply to your comment. Not with ranting, but as a discussion. I thought this movie was great for it showed a portrayal of 'fear', upon a force that we humans are not capable of controlling due to the inferiority of our technological advances. This movie scared me shitless when I first watched it and couldn't sleep for 2 months. Back then, there were many movies that always portrayed heroism. This was different.

first half of this movie is the GOAT of alien invasions, its the movie that inspired me to start working in film and captured my imagination, JAWS to me is the best movie ever made, in terms of movie crafting, the first half of this to me is on par. Ateven admitted to keep up that level he would have had to make a horror movie and he dint want to be that type of director, they did the cage scene and it grossed him out frankly.
I didn't like how the martian tripods vaporize everyone into dust and making their clothes fly everywhere in my opinion having them burst into flames would have been even more teryfing considering their bodies would have lied, chared, and lifeless EVERYWHERE but using human blood to make a more sutible landscape for the martians is still friggn horrorfying even though they would end up dying in an ironic way because of it
They should have known that some humans have aids and not it that that it is a very terrifying way to live aliens sucking your blood up and pushing it back into the air as a gas anybody could get aids quick u would literally have to where a hazmat suit to go outside and carry an oxygen tank because the air has been infected and let alone the fact u would have constantly watch ur back for the aliens that is some horrific stuff
I have a feeling this was a rejected song from one of the Star Wars Prequel Movie's soundtracks. It sounds so much like General Grievous' theme from Revenge of the Sith.
Replying to MrDetwaa, this film was different because it showed from a civilians perspective what they'll actually do if there ever was an alien invasion. Sure there are some plot holes and that annoying girl you just want to snap her neck, but I found this film to be an adequate portrayal of mass fear of millions (maybe even billions) and it made it unique because of it. Another is from what I remember, I saw videos why many viewers were disappointed from the film since it wasn't like the book.
@smiledammit24 "Jones 4: The Quest for More Money." Lol! that actually made my day, Your compleatly right spielbergs latest work has been pretty... Not the name hes lived up to..
i really enjoyed the movie, but I would have to disagree that it was underrated when it has apparently grossed well over half a billion dollars. I keep wanting to see it again maybe I'll check it out at the library.
Hans Zimmer is the greatest composer of modern day films, but no one can ever forget Star Wars and Jurassic Park by John Williams. I think he did JP anyway, please correct me if I'm wrong. I can't really choose between the two though.
@johnwilliamsfan786 I know right? Unfortunately, there are arrogant, thesaurus-thumping, anti-American, blissfully-transparent, sexist, psychopathic, immature, profane, smart-ass trolls that think that they somehow have the right to demand us to think the same opinions the way they do. Kind of like smi- well, I'd rather not say, I think we all have certain people in mind. And for the people that do hate Spielburg's movies, try watching them without falling dead-drunk five minutes through.
what was wrong with this movie? i hated most spielberg movies but this one is ihmo the best he ever made! the tense atmosphere is perfect, the tripods are awesome, the science fiction behind it is not lazy at all and very interesting, i think he followed h.g wells story very well!
@smiledammit24 Indy 4 was not an exceptional movie, but you are so hypocritical as to accuse me of being the mediator between good and bad movies, when you have clearly stated that Indy 4 and War of the Worlds were bad films in your comment. And now you resort to claiming that I am unintelligent due to what you assume my age is? Your stubborness and immaturity are demonstrated by your lack of respect for the work Sielberg has put into his films.
@TheBeardieandtheLeo Well that's what the book is about. The movie is completely different. It scared me too. From how horrible it was. There just wasn't much in it. I expected a lot from a brilliant director like Speilberg. He could have made it a lot greater and more interesting. Tom Cruise ruined it for me too. He's too full of himself and that attitude shows in his films.
That's not the point. The theme of Harry Potter was good against evil, but it was still set in a castle in Scotland. The theme of Batman was a man putting his body and mind to it's peak to become something more, but was still set in Gotham. Regardless of what the themes behind WotW might be, the book made a lot of references to real places in London that was lost in Spielburg's piss-poor adaptation of such a great literary work. No doubt he would also try to set Les Miserables in the US too.
I can clearly hear that this is composed in the same year as Star Wars episode 3
So true
Yeah John Williams really killed it with all the music he made
Maybe because of all these, John Williams unable to do the score for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire...
I've heard some people say this is one of John Williams' lesser soundtracks, but I think it's one of the best because of how unique it sounds. As I understand, Williams began composing the score while there was not enough footage from the film, so he worked based upon his own interpretation of what the movie would be like. If that's the case, I think it's amazing, because there's something in the music that sounds more akin to the tone and thrill of the original novel than the film itself.
This right here is a perfect representation of the underrated status of this soundtrack

I love this movie so much! Speilberg and John Williams teaming up is like a match made in heaven

I’ve seen it upwards of about 30 times
this particular theme reminds of the main theme from "The Lost World: Jurassic Park"
John Williams is da man!
He's so good at adding in suspense and just themes you'd never forget. First jaws, then Star Wars, Jurrasic Park, and now this?
He really is genius!

It sounds like the track : "General Grievous" from Revenge of the Sith

This movie is a masterpiece of alien invasion genre , the music is awesome too
The build up in the first half of this movie was awesome, and the music really played abig part of that.

Swear they reused this in indiana jones and the crystal skull
yes

+kevin texter the crystal skull is associated with ancient aliens. that's why they're in the story.

They're both great, im using Hans Zimmer as my catalyst for AP Music Theory this year haha.
***** Its true, many people disagree with this
+redrock6565 John Williams has written more and I think better work, but Hans Zimmer is somewhat more diverse, so it's difficult to decide.
Both win! Friendality!
If you like this peice, I recommend Dmitry Shostakovich. A Russian composer whose music sounds like this and heavily influenced Williams.
what mrs.pippinbaggins said is true ;)
I love this movie for the evil aliens and their tripods on the East Coast, USA...look out, run from the tripod!
@stealthboy19 it's by john williams so his influence will be the same
This sounds like Indiana Jones and Star wars combined.
