Review of The War of the Worlds (1953) by Pete S — 02 Mar 2009
The special effects are excellent for a movie produced in 1953. And the production design still stands up quite well. Personally, I find that the script is an improvement on the Spielberg version and Wells' original: Less disturbing, more interesting.
The change from the atheistic perspective of Wells to a more theological ending (which was still taken from the book, but from the perspective of a certain character) is an interesting if predictable twist.
