Robbie, Ray and Rachel all see the battle in the distance, Robbie races off with Ray chasing him, Rachel is hiding near a tree which will provide 0.00001% of protection from a heat ray.
Ray catches Robbie and throws him to the ground.
Ray: What do you think your doing! Spielberg told me he has no money for all the battle effects! Robbie: I need to see this, the audience needs to see this its the best bit of the whole crappy film! Ray: No you dont YOU DONT, its paying for my salary! If you go over that hill the effects budget will come out of your salary not mine! Robby: I got to do something heroic, you get to blow up a tripod in a gaping plot hole later in the film!
Ray realising he has no choice lets Robbie go...
In an amazing plot device, and elderly couple sees Rachel on her own and decides to rescue her.
Old couple: quick its Ray's kid Spielberg says to snatch her away to avoid the need of showing the battle over the hill now that Robbie's legged it.
Ray: Stop thats my kid, Spielberg told me to run away too!
Old couple: Ok then if you run over to that house you will find a kiddly fiddling nutcase in the basement of the only building in the area now the martians have destroyed everything else!
Ray: any other plot devices?
Old Couple: Yes the martians for some reason spare the building despite it being the only one left not burning to a crisp. Plus for some reason none of the 100's of refugees running for their lives wants to hide in there too...

Yes.. I never understood why when the Martians (ahem, sorry aliens) were bashing the ground and seeding it for the red weed they just didn't level the house and go over it.

[glow=purple,2,300]Why would the refugees want to hide in a cellar, when Eowyn is hanging out in the only neighborhood left pristine and untouched by the invasion? The refugees are off for a tea dance with the Grandparents, and Robbie (for all his bravado) never went over the hill to certain doom. As soon as Ray turned around to 'rescue' the screecher, he ponced off back to his Nans, the big girls blouse! [/glow]

If they were the council they would have done, and left a great big hole in the ground outlined with cones for a couple of months.

the reason they didn't mess up the house is because they meant to explore it later. you know, go through pictures, spin bicycle tires, check out mirrors, look for rats and stuff. what else are they gonna do in their free time?

"Hey Bob! Wanna do something? Wanna play chess?" "What the hell is that Steve?" "Some Earth game I found lying around." "Nah, me and me mates are gonna go explore some old house." "Why?" "Cause we've got nothing better to do! We've crushed the little humans!" "Right, I'm on that way to join you!" "We might find some looney down there!" "Doubt it, the chances of that happening are a million-to-one!"

Another point: The mars... sorry aliens decided to explore a darkened building unarmed with plenty of places for humans to ambush them.
Would you?
