War of the Worlds (2005)
there's 0 stars between earth and mars
>they just so happened to be advanced enough to deal with Victorian technology
It's worth pointing out that the novel had a very Victorian understanding of evolution and progress. The Martians were so overly evolved due to their advanced science that they could no longer eat using purely biological means. Instead, they had a chattel species of humanoids that were raised for their blood, and the Martians had to use a straw to suck their blood out directly because in the course of their evolution the Martians had lost the ability to eat or even digest food.
The Martians were ignorant of Earthly germs because they had lived in a sterile scientific "utopia" for so many millions of years that germ theory was lost knowledge to them, as they hadn't had to deal with germs or infections since before humanity even existed.
They basically forgot that was a possibility. The Martians had eliminated hostile microbes from their planet centuries ago, and only observed humanity from a distance, so didn't pick up on disease as a possibility.
>applying earthly logic and physics to advanced, otherworldly super science tech humans can't even understand
Was this your very first science fiction movie?
imagine being this wrong
MOTHER FUCKING THUNDERCHILD
Well he's actually not wrong. He said star*s*. More than 1. Theres zero more than 1.
>. At the time, a torpedo ram like Thunder Child represented the most powerful destructive force in the world - fully armoured, with a sharp ram on the bow, torpedo tubes, heavy guns and powerful engines to take it up to ramming speed. In the real world, however, torpedo rams were completely useless; all that they ever destroyed was a single, grounded ship and a harbour jetty. The Other Wiki says "It has been suggested by some that, in view of the limited military value the torpedo ram demonstrated, Wells's immortalization of the type in what would become a literary classic was the torpedo ram's greatest achievement."
ULLA!
