Product Description:
This edition is the special final cut edit of H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds, a movie that has received worldwide attention and sold over a half million DVD's in the U.S. and Canada alone. The director spent a year rediting and retooling special effects to fulfill his vision and leave a legagy H. G. Wells would be proud of. The Classic War of the Worlds, with a running time of 125 minutes, replaces the 3 hour rough cut version, H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds, that was widely distributed and is no longer available. This authentic movie adaptation of the H. G. Wells classic novel follows the story of humanity at the turn of the 20th century as a large cylinder from space falls on the English countryside. A young writer is among those who witness the event. As the cylinder opens, horrifying tentacled creatures from Mars appear and it soon becomes apparent the Martians intend to attack. The quickly mushrooming war separates the writer and his beloved wife. He journeys to reunite with her while fighting for his own survival as the military launches counter attacks to stop the Martians. The writer is forced to bare witness as society collapses and the human race uses all of its knowledge and strength to win the war of the worlds.

Sure the film is long. But if you ever bothered to read the book you would know has true and close this movie follows the book. Its The REAL Adaptation, not the Steven spielburg Modern revamp or original 1953 Remake of the classic. This is a visual edition of H.G. Wells War of the Worlds.

I had been eager to see this film version of H.G. Wells classic novel as the producers claimed it would remain faithful to the original location & period of late Victorian Great Britain.
Initially I had been put off from purchasing this film since the original release in 2005 due to the initial, and significant quantity of, complaints of low production values, poor FX , below par acting and "endless walking scenes". Suffice to say that my passion for the novel and courisity had got ... Read More

The DVD you are looking at is "The Classic War of the Worlds" which is a shorter versions of the film "H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds" directed by Timothy Hines. Well, perhaps you've already read some of the reviews on Amazon about the original version that runs 3 hours. I won't repeat here what I wrote about the first version, which is exactly the same as any reviewers giving only one star rating.
Usually I don't buy the same film more than once, but H. G. Wells' novels are something ... Read More

Wow. I saw the original 3 hour version last year, and with effort watched the entire thing in one sitting (while drinking a bottle of wine!). Although it was somewhat of a disappointment, especially given the hype around the film, I too generally liked it's quirky and antique style. There were truly some moments of brilliance, but these were ultimately lost in the odd editing and the scenes that dragged and dragged.
I actually was surprised that a re-cut did not come sooner, because even ... Read More
