War Of The Worlds Trailers

I enjoy watching movie trailers especially if the movies are the much anticipated ones. For most trailers, watching them once is enough and after a while, they can easily be forgotten. But for some few, I just love them very much. Not enough with watching them at the cinemas or on tv, I will search and download them from the net, save them to my PC and even 'burn' them on discs, to be played on my DVD player.

I just enjoy watching them over and over again, to the extent that I can remember the sequences of scenes in the trailers, the script uttered by the actors and the music background. A trailer like this is like another movie on its own, with 'storyline' and continuity, without giving too much away on the 'real' movie itself.

So far, examples of such trailers are trailers for LOTR 1, 2, 3; Spider-man (2 trailers) and Spider-man 2 (2 trailers).

Today, I would like to recommend you to view the four trailers of the War Of The Worlds (WOTW) movie. The movie is soon to be released on 29 June 2005. It starred Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, Tim Robbins and Miranda Otto and directed by Steven Spielberg. The best website for you to view those trailers is at http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/waroftheworlds. As for the movie's official website, it is at http://www.waroftheworlds.com/.

The first trailer was released months ago - more like a preview of a preview. It shows 'humans going to and fro about their globe, confident of their empire over this world. But then, our world is being watched by intelligents greater than our own, who regarded our planet with envious eyes'. As soon as the commentator finishes his words, the trailer shows a housing community. Each household seems to have been awaken from their night sleep, by some thunderous sounds and flashes of yellowish fiery lights in the sky.

Then, all of a sudden, come this giant 'bomb', destroying them all...Cool!

The second trailer is slightly longer than the first. Ray (Cruise) advises Rachel (Fanning) of what NOT to do while they are fleeing from their house. In another scene, it shows how Ray screams for his son's life, most probably because a giant fireball is coming towards them. At the end of the trailer, we get to see a glimpse of the alien, while Ray and Rachel are hiding at one corner in a barn.

The third trailer had just been released to the public. If you've been watching any movies lately and you arrived early at the cinemas, chances are you could have seen this third trailer before your movies begin. The trailer starts off with a scene showing Ray's shift, working at a port in New York has just ended (so we know what Ray's job is). Then, there's this pregnant wife with another man (we can guess who the father of the baby is), one teenage son and a little girl. So, we can imply that Ray is a divorcee with two kids, who is rather lousy at keeping his words, at least to his ex-wife.

Judging from the trailer, we can safely assume that Ray is a happy-go-lucky but caring dad. But when lightnings hit repeatedly behind their house, things take turn for the worse. The aliens are attacking. Watch the amazing sequences when the bridge and the highway behind their house break apart and topple, bringing together all the vehicles down with them. Cool.......!!!

In the last and longest running trailer of the four, we know from Robbie (Ray's son) that the lightnings hit 26 times in Lincoln (I think) Avenue. Watch how the road where the lightnings hit, somehow move and shake before caving in. We are also introduced to the character played by Tim Robbins, who seems to know a little something about the aliens and is also well armed. He takes shelter in the same barn where Ray and Rachel are hiding (in the second trailer), but no sights of Robbie or Ray's wife there. Can this mean they are dead? Or Robbie decides to join the army and fight after all? Also, when Ray screams for Rachel at the end of the trailer (while Rachel is looking up, probably at the alien's spaceship), can this mean that Rachel will be abducted?

All in all, the music arrangements in the trailers are engaging (each has a different one, although slightly) and the editings are brilliantly done. I should say the trailers for WOTW have made it to my list as some of the best trailers around, joining the LOTR and Spider-man trailers. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MOVIE TO BE RELEASED!!!!

Hi, Hisham, actually the way I did it was to let all the trailers finished downloading for viewing. Then, I used QuickTime Pro to save them to my PC, then I changed to AVI, then to MPeg to burn on CDs. Anyway, thanx for the link, at least I get to see 2 more new trailers. There's also another different trailer at www.comingson.net
