While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Star Trek opened the door to a lot of good syndication Sci-Fi..And a few stinkers.This was one of the stinkers. The plot line is the classic 1953 War of the Worlds movie happened, but the world rebuilt and then forgot it ever happened. No, I mean, seriously, this was the premise.Further, they took the thousands of dead aliens, put them in toxic waste drums and forgot about them.Well, a bunch of silly plot devices. Aliens could take over the bodies of real humans, leading to all sorts of depressing plot lines mostly involving otherwise nice people being turned into aliens.Then if the series wasn't bad enough, they decided to make it worse in Season 2 by turning it into a depressing Cyber-Punk future where a new group of aliens pops in.Thankfully, it was put out of its misery after two seasons.

I worked at Paramount Studios as a film editor between 1969-1973 and had the priveledge to work directly with George Pal,(Producer of the original "War Of The Worlds" feature movie) along with Niel MacDonald (film editor)on a T.V. pilot presentation based on the movie. We used original "War Of The Worlds" feature footage, along with various artists original renderings(used for posters and promotions). Along with original "War Of The Worlds" matte shots. Using an animation camera to shoot pans and slow move-ins of the paintings along with original footage and sound track, George himself wrote and narrated over the edited material. Not one frame was actually shot for the presentation. we used existing material only. I believe, that the presentation was about 15-20 minutes long. It was done in 1971. The studio said it was a great Idea, but the cost would be prohibative, so they passed. What a shame!! At almost the same time the original "Star Trek" series was being done at Paramount.

The first season of War of the Worlds was groundbreaking and refreshingly innovative. In many ways, it was the predecessor of shows like "The X-Files". The first season was very much like a game of chess between the Blackwood Project and the aliens- led the triumvirate Advocacy (featuring the underrated actress, Ilse Von Glatz- who was chilling as an Advocate). Towards the end of the season, there was a mythology carefully being built with the introductions of new characters such as the renegade alien/human hybrid- Quinn and the Qar'To Synth, Katara. Also, the show was blessed with creative writing, excellent direction- and casting Ann Robinson as Sylvia Van Buren was a nice coup for the producers.However, Paramount had plans to assassinate the show and installed Frank Mancuso Jr. as the new executive producer. He obliterated the first season storyline, continuity, most of the characters and killed the show in the process. But to many fans, the only real season of WOTW was 1988-1989.
