		War of the Worlds is Spielberg’s classy response to flicks like Independence Day, but compared to his older films, this movie is a low effort, no-brainer.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		CBN.com – War of the Worlds is an exciting remake that achieves a high level of tension, but its pace and pretensions hold it back from being a truly great action movie.
		The world created in this movie fails to be consistent, so it becomes obvious that the blood detail was inserted only for the sensational imagery that came with it (although the original Wells novel may have contained something about the aliens cannibalizing humans).
		War of the Worlds is exciting, well made, and morally uplifting, but children could be frightened by the intense extraterrestrial attacks, not to mention some of the slimy alien imagery.

	Hollywood Gothique: War of the Worlds (1953) Review
		Wells was crafting an ironic scenario in which the Martian invasion acted as a magnified mirror image of British imperialism: that is, a technologically superior army using its advanced weaponary to evict and/or annihilate a native population.
		The Tasmanians, in spite of their human likeness, were entirely swept out of existence in a war of extermination waged by European immigrants, in the space of fifty years.
		Particularly memorable is the chapter entitled “Thunderchild,” in which an ironclad warship protects a boatload of refugees fleeing the country, in the process destroying two of the Martian war machines before being melted and sent to the bottom of the ocean by the lethal heat ray.

	The War Of The Worlds: Special Collector's Edition (1953)
		The movie follows the titular war between Earth and the Martians, with an emphasis on Forrester’s actions as well as his relationship with a sexy student named Sylvia Van Buren (Ann Robinson).
		The 2005 War used at least one or two very similar depictions, and the segment in which the military drops an A-bomb on the Martians was clearly paid homage in 1996’s Independence Day.
		I must admit The War of the Worlds disappointed me. I didn’t expect the flair and panache of the Spielberg version, but movies don’t need to be shiny-new to be good.

	War of the Worlds (1953) movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
		Because War of the Worlds hasn’t just been ripped off, copied and homaged for decades, it’s inspired an endless production line of big budget alien invasion flicks which owe a huge debt of gratitude to director Byron Haskin’s spectacular 1953 original.
		The focus on the human impact is also impressive, especially the plight of people fleeing for their lives, while the angry mob marauding the streets of LA adds an element of gritty realism.

	War of the Worlds - Movie Review
		As their world is turned upside down, Ray will stop at nothing to keep his family alive.
		With his new update of H.G. Wells 1898 novel 'The War of the Worlds', Steven Spielberg presents a peril so overwhelmingly vast and mercilessly indiscriminate that thoughts of negotiation or resistance are futile, and the only hope that remains, however precarious it may be, is survival itself.
		Instead, he restricts his focus to the experiences of a single, ordinary family struggling to comprehend and outrun large-scale catastrophe, so that 'War of the Worlds' has far more in common with M. Night Shmyalan's Signs or even Michael Haneke's The Time of the Wolf than, say, Independence Day.

	Movie Info for The War of the Worlds on MSN Movies
		H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds had been on Paramount Pictures' docket since the silent era, when it was optioned as a potential Cecil B. DeMille production.
		In the end, the Martians are defeated not by science or the military, but by bacteria germs-or, to quote H.G. Wells, "the humblest things that God in his wisdom has put upon the earth." Forty years' worth of progressively improving special effects have not dimmed the brilliance of George Pal's War of the Worlds.
		So indelible an impression has this film made on modern-day sci-fi mavens that, when a 1988 TV version of War of the Worlds was put together, it was conceived as a direct sequel to the 1953 film, rather than a derivation of the Wells novel or the Welles radio production.

		Gene Barry and Ann Robinson play the hero and heroine roles that were de rigueur for movies like this in the '50s, and their encounter with one of the Martians is as creepy today as it was in '53.
		It is mono and there are cracks and pops on the sound track during the early part of the movie, though I didnt notice them as much in the later scenes (but that may simply be because I was caught up in the excitement of the story).
		Overall, I rate "The War of the Worlds" with a highly deserved 5 out of 5 stars and I regard it to be one of the best sci-fi films ever produced in the 1950's.
