This Sci Fi flick based on the novel by H. G. Wells, had some of the best Fifties special effects. Gene Barry was very good as the male protagonist in his pre-"Bat Masterson" days. The monsters, created in the studio had long squiggly tenacles similar to those of giant squids
and were produced by bacteria from a distant world. The sound effects of hissing, escaping steam all about is an added tension builder. It is entertaining to wach to this very day, especially when you conjure up Orson Welle's broadcast in your mind while watching it. A great movie.

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 destroying the city comes into view through the stained glass.
Many images are simply unforgettable. New dimensions, perhaps aided by time and my own development, also come into view -- for example, there is an element of man and human intellect over machine and might, in that the US military is completely powerless despite high-tech bombs and planes, while the scientists through observation and deduction latch onto a simple biological line of attack before they are foiled by looting, marauding, panicked civilians.
This one gets better with age and certainly make the Tom Cruise remake suffer by comparison.

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 was made do not have the colar saturation and depth as this movie did with ASA 80 Technicolar film.. People release anything for themselves to make a buck. Gregory P. Dolgoff. I am not a Hollywood Moron

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 with "The Conquest of Space" in 1955 and other movies throughout the fifties and sixties.
But this one is the one that, if you're six years old, can still scare the **** out of you!!!
