One of the Three Great Sci-Fi MoviesThe other two were the original Day the Earth Stood Still and Forbidden Planet. All three share tight editing, above-average acting, and enough drama to satisfy the audience. Chiefly, all three share an amazing art-deco aesthetic that transcends fads and fashions: The Martian war machinery in this spectacle is every bit as visually arresting and timeless as it was the day the movie premiered. A must-have for the serious (or semi-serious) collector..Score: 5/5
Excellent for its time and budgetTotally agree with member who said this movie along with the originals of The Day the Earth Stood Still and The Thing stand out as the best of it's genre for the 50's decade. Unfortunately the recent remakes of said movies are unimaginative and a waste of tech effects..Score: 4/5
A Classic!This was one of the first Sci-Fi movies that I had ever seen as a kid and was taken by it immediately. Great story line, camera work, modeling, and acting for its time. A+.Score: 4/5
One of The Greatest SciFi MoviesI became a Scifi nut at the age of 10 (47 years ago). This is my all time greatest movie of all followed by The Thing From Another Planet. I noticed that when Gene Berry passed away this movie was not mentioned I was sadden by this because I became a Berry fan thanks to this movie. Call me crazy but I've watched or at least listened to War of the Worlds way more than a thousand times. The other remakes I'd rate as 3 star. This movie is great for any age at any times. PS - has anyone ever noticed the wires holding up the spacecrafts. Even with bad special effects I Love This Movie. Itunes PLEASE PLEASE put THE THING FROM ANOTHER PLANET up for sale..Score: 5/5

Men were Men, Women were Women......and slimy green Martians were slimy green Martians. This was the best of George Pal's heyday in the mid 20th C, and it shows–including a transferring of the story to Atomic Age southern California. Gene Barry was the broad-shouldered, brainy-but-masculine scientist, Ann Robinson the capable but still screamy femme. Return with us back to the 50's, when Technicolor ruled, Edith Head set trends, and scientists and government were the new heroes. It's an enjoyable, sweet yet suspenseful movie, even if you first saw it on television in the '60s..Score: 4/5

Mildly Entertaining...The aliens are hilarious to look at. Sure, the hand creeping up on the woman's arm/back is terrifying, but when the camera quickly pans around to reveal the monster, it's down right comical. I saw this a couple years ago, saw Spielbergs and was unimpressed, so I thought I'd check out the original. This is a very well-done film. The chaos is great. The special-effects, before the CGI days of course, are okay, they won the Academy Award, but compared to today's they're as funny as the aliens. "Invisible legs". Overall, this is a fun film, mildly entertaining, and if thought of what was going on when this was made, it said something. Buy this..Score: 4/5

4K stream fantastic!Title says it all, this movie has NEVER looked better and there is NO physical release in Blu-ray or UHD. The image is pristine in 4K and the added extras are nice. A great 1950’s sci-fi and still terrifying today as it was when first released. A must buy!.Score: 5/5
They're Back!A great film from my youth! Excellent special effects for the day, innovative ending (The martians died due to lack of immunity to earth's bacteria etc...), cool looking space craft and that nifty "skeleton ray"! The martians are still as omminous as ever..Score: 5/5

Looks good ... not a great adaptationAs studio sci fi of the 1950's, this is about average. It's a stodgy piece of Americana that unquestioningly reflects the viewer's values back at them. (It's somewhat fitting that Spielberg remade this, since he's the modern equivalent of this film.) Where it really excels is in the visual department. Anything with George Pal's name on it looks great, and this is no exception. It has some of the most visually inventive effects work of the 50's. As an adaptation of Wells's novel ... let's just say I don't think Wells would appreciate the ideological changes..Score: 3/5
