Well, come to think of it yes. I'll have to agree Warren that for 1953 the effects in the G.Pal film were quite good. I have to disagree on the martian ships though....I think Spielbergs Tripods were awesome! I like the fact that the new movie stuck to the idea of tripod-fighting-machines like in Wells' book.
I only wish Spielbergs movie had MARTIANS as the alien invaders! Like in the Pal movie. "We already know Mars is lifeless....we know too much about Mars"....was the reason Spielberg had the attackers orgin a mystery.
One must suspend their dis-belief in a Sci-fi thriller about attacking aliens.
So, he has them rise from the ground here on Earth! Duh! Like we don't know much about Earths geology either!
