Description:
H.G. Wells' chilling novel of a Martian invasion of Earth becomes even more frightening in this 1952 film adaptation that's widely regarded as one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time. An Oscar. winner for Best Special Effects, The War of the Worlds delivers eye-popping thrills, laser-hot action and unrelenting, edge-of-your-seat suspense. No one who has seen the film's depiction of the swan-shaped Martian machines-ticking and hissing menacingly as they cut their path of destruction-will ever forget their ominous impact.
Amazon.com essential video:
After the success of 1950's Destination Moon and 1951's When Worlds Collide, visionary producer George Pal brought the classic H.G. Wells story of a Martian invasion to the big screen, and it instantly became a science fiction classic and winner of the 1953 Academy Award for Best Special Effects. It's a work of frightening imagination, with its manta-ray spaceships armed with cobra-like probes that shoot a white-hot disintegration ray. As formations of alien ships continue to wreak destruction around the globe, the military is helpless to stop this enemy while scientists race to find an effective weapon. 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 finally takes an unseen threat--simple Earth bacteria--to conquer the alien invaders, but not before War of the Worlds has provided a dazzling display of impressive special effects. As memorable for its sound effects as for its spectacular visions of destruction, this is a movie for the ages--the kind of spectacular that inspired little kids such as Steven Spielberg (not to mention Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, whose Independence Day cribs liberally from the plot) and still packs a punch. --Jeff Shannon

Excellent DVD, a must have in your private collection!!!
You can really see the wires holding the invaders ships. This is acting the way it should be done today.

Having recently rewatched this film in the new edition, I must confess I was unprepared for the power and seriousness of this classic adaptation of the HG Wells story. In particular, the presence of religion, both as a bridge to peace and a comfort against the unknown, is very powerfully rendered in striking images -- of the pastor holding the Bible and reciting the Lord's Prayer as he seeks peace with the aliens, or the congregation praying for redemption in Los Angeles as the shadow of the aliens ...

This movie was not made in a 1.33 format. This was a Technacolar 2.33 formate when I saw it at the Theatere in the 50's... Who ever released this movie as a 1.33 formate is a MORON. A waste of my money to buy it. These MORONs who are releasing all these movies in a 1.33 formate should stop and find another job if they cant do their job correctly by releasing the movies as they were made. As my wife says "You only see half the Movie" That is correct. Even the New Movies made 50 years after this one ... Read More

I first saw this movie at a Loew's Movie Theatre on Main Street in White Plains, New York in 1953. It scared the **** out of me. In fact, it gave me the first nightmares of my life that I remember...I was six at the time.
When I watch it now, it still has a similar effect on me. The acting is terrific...and the special effects way ahead of their time for 1953. George Pal was a master at using special effects to create the atmosphere of terror and fright. He used it to advance science fiction ... Read More
