"6.9. Tallenne Herttainen tieteispöhköily luottaa vÀhÀn liian vÀhÀn katsojaan ja vÀhÀn liikaa jumalaan. EnsimmÀinen on budjetti- ja kestorajoitteissa aivan ymmÀrrettÀvÀÀ, jÀlkimmÀinen idioottimaista. Ei tÀlle kyllÀ mutruillakaan siltikÀÀn voi. HyvÀnnÀköinenkin on."

" Date: 5/2/2021 Viewed: Blu-ray Re-Watch Note: I recently bought the Criterion Blu-ray of War of the Worlds and I'm curious if the movie still holds up or not. The original War of the Worlds still holds up pretty well in my opinion. It may not be the best adaption of the book, but I still consider it to be a good movie in my opinion.

NĂ€yttelytyö, dialogi ja kĂ€sikirjoitus yleensĂ€ ovat aivan hĂ€kellyttĂ€vĂ€n amatööritasoista matskua ja kuin suoraan jostain ö-luokan Kuinka tehdĂ€ elokuva âoppikirjasta. Erityisesti elokuvan kliimaksissa koros"

"Riihikuiva klassikkoversiointi, jonka parasta antia ovat hehkuva 50-luvun technicolour, sekÀ montaasi radion ufouutisia kuuntelevista kansalaisista, hellyyttÀvÀ heitto kuuluisimman aiheen versioinnin suuntaan."

“The first cinematic adaptation of H.G. Wells' renowned 1898 novel of the same name, The War of the Worlds endures as one of the most defining science-fiction films of the 1950s. Following in the shadow of The Day the Earth Stood Still and When Worlds Collide, but appearing before the likes of Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind in 1977, this ambitious 1953 production uses the premise of an alien attack to play on the Cold War-era paranoia about foreign invasion. There is no denying the historical or cultural significance of this original The War of the Worlds, with its groundbreaking special effects and a daring story about malevolent invaders which scared the living daylights out of audiences back in 1953.
