This is one of the most intense scenes in the movie. It's like you're being dehumanized and can't feel comfortable in your own skin. The movie should've got a MUCH better rating than a 6.5/10 on IMDB. I'd give it an 8.0 minimum. I like the simple retelling of the story; a man visits with his children and he has to be the ultimate Dad and do whatever it takes to protect them. There aren't that many family-based Sci-Fi movies.
God this scene was so intense for me when I was a kid, it got to a point where I had to skip over it to avoid the sheer stress of the scene. well done Spielberg
1:15 i noticed a little mistake from Tom Cruise in the movie. His fingers were still on the mirror when the probe came. The probe could have seen that before it left. They would have been busted.
So? Take the kids away. In a apocalypse, kids will be a hinderance. The world won't be the same again anyway. I'm pretty sure you guys watched The Walking Dead series as well as played the games. Nothing good comes from having kids during an apocalypse or raising one. Every human being will kill to survive, as well as keep themselves alive as long as possible. Newborns/really young kids won't benefit anything during survival of the fittest. This is my opinion, so don't get butt-hurt.
Mienboi821510 The killing between humans in an apocalypse is unrealistic. In the walking dead or many other apocalypse like movies the opposite is shown to have tension, but in reality they would tend to work together. The smaller the groups the easier it is to survive.
+OpenGL4ever, you just contradicted yourself. Smaller the group, the better. But, what will benefit you when you're running out of resources while trying to produce/raise a baby/kid in the process? "Future of mankind" is the logical way, but that will be another several years ahead. We are overpopulated as it already is. What will happen when food production suddenly stopped?
There’s actually a theory that the aliens never invented wheels in the civilization, therefore when they saw the bike wheel they were perplexed by it and spooning it causing it to fall down
@Gokul Raj it’s written I think in the book. The planet the aliens supposedly came from had a surface that wasn’t suitable for wheels, therefore they never found the need to invent them, but rather mechanical structures like the legs on the tripods were more suited to them
@@socomgaming1014 I think it's because wheels need roads and they were probably too lazy to make roads, also legs are perfect because they don't need a smooth terrain.
Brilliant direction, writing, and performance demonstrated here. That mirror shot that then pans to a 50/50 with the actors on one half of the screen and the snake on the other = chef's kiss.
I like how the probe's look is a callback to the "cobra" heat rays from the '53 movie. Even the kind of hissing droning it makes sounds a bit like the noise the heat ray would make before firing. Nice touch.
Its cause of the expert lighting. They chose places to film where lighting would allow to conceal the bad parts of the effect. This highlights only the good parts of the effects, making the effects just seem good in general.
I just remember seeing this in the theater, looking over to see my dad and him even being scared. I was 7 at the time. Traumatized for years might I add lmao
This is one of the scariest and intense scenes in this movie I remember when I saw it at the theatre in 2005 Tom did a great job and of course Spielberg.
I have had this scene in my memory since I first saw this movie (I was around 5). I couldn't remember what the movie was called, all I could remember was this scene. It's been 17-18 years and I've finally found it.
I think the idea was that the mirror would give the probe a reminder of its situational awareness, since it (heard?) something being knocked over. It's possible Cruise thought that the probe seeing its reflection would make it think IT knocked the thing over, since it likely doesn't have sensors along the... tentacle (shudder), otherwise it would've likely detected Axe-Man's proximity to it. It's also conceivable that the probe was trying to run various analyses on the mirror, because it didn't remember it being there before and was curious how it appeared, or detected heat signatures on it, but was failing to run those analyses due to the reflective nature of the mirror. You can be sure something with its capabilities has seen reflections before (it has a perfect lens, after-all). Could also just be checking itself for damage or other anomalies. Just some educated guesses. Besides, more to the point, how does it not see Cruise's fingers moving at the top of the mirror's frame at 1:14 when the probe literally looks at them while they're moving? Maybe you're right, and it is just dumb after-all. I mean they get defeated by bacteria, of all things. Clearly they didn't do enough planning!
@@algladyou can travel between planets, can build powerful weapons, can use long flexible floating probes to find survivors to eliminate them, restricts sensors to audio and visual spectrum.
This is a homage to the original War of the Worlds where Dr. Forrester hides in a farmhouse while a martian probes the wreckage and hits the camera with a wooden plank.
Meanwhile at alien HQ. Alien inventor: I have created a mobile flying device to replace our cumbersome snake cameras that can relay the same level of information but its compact and lightweight so it can easily look around.I call it a drone. Alien boss: Pass. All your inventions are silly. Last week you invented antibiotics to protect us from microorganisms. Another dumb idea.
If I got spotted and if they were all around me my last things will be doing the distraction dance so I can escape... cuz you have been DISTRACTED LOL!!!
How's it possible for your leg to magically full extend outward in that situation. The girl literally was in best fiddle position but still made it look like she had to do some stretching
I had a similar dream again about the tripods. I was at home until I heard them blaring in the distance. Me and my mum hid behind my den (that was taken down a long time ago), but unfortunately, my mum was slow so I had no choice but to leave her and run to hide in our shed down the bottom of the garden and tried to lock the door. However, I was soon caught by an alien probe that came through the gap between the doors. So I literally had to run for my life until I met my doom: it was a tripod with heat rays, not tentacles, standing behind our archway opposite our house that disintegrated me into dust! It only hurt for a brief moment, until I saw whiteness in my eyes as I floated away freely into the air...
Well Morgan Freeman is in this film as the narrator. *In Freeman's Voice* Things got hard for Andy after Shawshank. Partially on account of the aliens invading.
You'd think that a super smart alien race would install a defense energy shield for this long thing too. Yet, in a later scene, we see Ray chopping away at it. Interesting.
@@HYDROCARBON_XD Well, according to the narration at the beginning, they are far more intelligent than us. But apparently had little or no capacity for empathy for some reason.
when the alien looked into the mirror hes like alien: how your doing Johnny oh your doing fine im doing fine why didn't you come to the date last night it was cool you missed the double date I was with my girl tripod what were you doing???
God the sound effects from the probe, the tripods, and everything else is just amazing. Weird thinking this was 11 years ago
tbh the probe sounds eerily similar to a sentinel in no mans sky (Sean Murray is liar)
And the animation is pretty damn good for 2005.

Pierzing.glint1sh7 Agree!

It got that rating because of the ending critics did not like the ending

Nick A07 Maybe the Martians are not so observant. They did neglect to look directly behind the mirror, after all.
Good point. But i thought in books and the movies, they were supposed to be smarter than us humans..
Nick A07 Well, it is a very unfamiliar atmosphere.
It would explain why they could not noticed what really can kill them.
Nick A07 Indeed.

When i was a kid iwas always scared that an alien probe is going to stare at me when i wake up after seeing this scene in the movie
It did to me, now i'm their slave in their ship
If it did that would be sleep paralysis
One time a probe was sleeping and it woke up to me looking at him
Honestly the probe would be my best friend or a pet.
Just be sure you didn't watch "Fire in the Sky"
I love when the aliens are just checking human stuff, like photos, and even bicycle. They were a bit shocked when the bicycle fell off 😂

I like how the probe's look is a callback to the "cobra" heat rays from the '53 movie. Even the kind of hissing droning it makes sounds a bit like the noise the heat ray would make before firing. Nice touch.
Considering how sensitive to sounds the probe was, you'd think the splashing of the water at 0:54 would draw its attention.
The way the tripod and those worm things are moving is just amazing! They're machines though they move like living creatures.
Steven Spielberg sure knows how to bring tension in his movies, no matter if they are horror or not.
This film has some of the best visual effects I've ever seen.
Its cause of the expert lighting. They chose places to film where lighting would allow to conceal the bad parts of the effect. This highlights only the good parts of the effects, making the effects just seem good in general.

Right. Or a drone that's not physically connected to the tripod.

Why does this STILL have better CGI than later budget movies?
Because Spielberg knows how to use CGI in the right amounts while mixing it with practical effects.
Spielberg's 70 millimeter lenses always makes his film look good.
