War of the Worlds (2005) is a harrowing Science Fiction Thriller by Steven Spielberg about a divorced father and his 2 children learning that their world is being invaded by malevolent Martians who want to destroy the planet. Tom Cruise stars as Ray, just a regular dad who is thrust into this nightmare based upon a modern retelling of the novel by H.G. Wells. Action-packed, disturbing and with somewhat irritating parts, War of the Worlds starts out big and gets worse before the end. Tim Robbins, Dakota Fanning, Miranda Otto also star.
Continuity mistake: On the ferry, Rachel wears the purple/pink camouflage hoodie over her orange knit sweater with the colorful stripe sleeves, as usual. Now this is where things become strange. In the first shot as the trio come ashore, she is only wearing her orange sweater, she is not wearing the purple/pink hoodie - note the clear lack of fur hood. In the very next shot as they climb a bit more and then rest, Rachel is wearing the purple/pink hoodie - note the hood, but now it's on under her orange sweater. In the underwater shots she is also wearing it under the orange sweater. (This odd mistake has absolutely nothing to do with the very long wool cloak that Rachel wears in the next scene).(01:02:20 - 01:04:40)

They definitely seemed a lot taller than 100ft in the movies though that's for sure. I would have guessed maybe a few hundred feet.
