| The Ghost of RubangB said: War of the Worlds was written in 1898. It's still a deus ex machina ending that has nothing to do with the protagonists, which is a big plot flaw, but at least those aliens hadn't been out of their craft yet. In Signs they're walking all over the place, but afraid of water, which is in air. While they're both bad endings, one defies logic and physics and makes me feel stupid. |
I'd say the big difference between the two is that the main protagonists don't drive the story in War of the Worlds. They're just random people caught up in an Alien invasion attempt. If the ending of the invasion did have to do with the protagonists, it would have really hurt the story.
But in Signs, It's a movie about god pulling the strings to spare a single kid from the Alien invasion... which by that reasoning would have been his doing as well. Which is a different complaint from the "water!?" complaint, but a valid one none the less.
So yes, Germs in War of the Worlds = logical and fulfilling as an ending
Water and God's will in Signs = I want my money back.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
