War of the Worlds 2: The Next Wave is a sequel to David Michael Latt's 2005 film, H.G. Wells War of the Worlds which did not appear in theaters and Tom Cruise did not star in that film. It starts out as a normal day in George Herbert's (That name happens to be H.G. Wells name backwards; Herbert George Wells) and he drives to the military base. The people there recognize him and let him in. They start talking and they show George the alien space craft that they found and how it can turn into a walker. The walkers look differant from the perquel because the walkers are now tripods with 3 legs. Probably from Spielberg version of the tripods. In the prequel the walkers have 6 legs like an insect. In this film, the humans fight back against the swarm of alien space crafts flying towards earth.
