War of the Worlds (1988–1990)

Poor writing & plot based as a follow up to 1953,but ignores that premise

[3/10 · 11 October 2020]

So, after all the devastation in 1953 by aliens no one in 1988 knows about it or believes in aliens. Poor writing & plot based as a follow up to 1953,but ignores that premise in that it's like no one knows what happened in 1953, not even people in the army. Ludicrous in that at the end of the 1953 movie, most cities were at least half destroyed. Also, seems as though all the dead aliens from 1953were stored in 55 gallon drums, because they weren't sure they were dead. That premise alone is laughable, they'd have cut them up and likely burned the remains rather than leave hundreds or thousands of possibly live hostile aliens intact. They'd have kept a few intact ones to study at most.
