Watching the march of the Martian machines across our country, you're taken in not by the dazzling reality of the visual tricks but by their resourcefulness and charming artificiality.

The film version of H.G. Wells' most famous novel maintains an ingenuous and simple tone that reminds us of the original, in addition to other achievements, such as its special effects and excellent music. [Full Review in Spanish]

War of the Worlds is a socko science-fiction feature, as fearsome as a film as was the Orson Welles 1938 radio interpretation of the H.G. Wells novel.
