Rating: 4/5 --
Although it never comes close to reproducing the panic generated by Orson Welles's famous 1938 radio broadcast, this is a splendid version of HG Wells's sci-fi classic.

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.
Wall Street Journal
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]

Understandably well-remembered, but its status as a high classic seems more incidental than earned.
