Great model….and yes I liked the film and also the original one.I would like to see a film version of the original book set in Victorian England.I think one or two have been made ….but a major big budget film could well be a winner. |

Geoff, there was a Victorian era film made and released just before the Tom Cruise one. I saw it on DVD. Terrible film. Bad writing, worse acting and truly awful GCI. I gave up after the first forty-five minutes or so. |

"Geoff, there was a Victorian era film made and released just before the Tom Cruise one. I saw it on DVD. Terrible film. Bad writing, worse acting and truly awful GCI. I gave up after the first forty-five minutes or so." Can't have been worse than the Tom cruise one. The thought that the aliens buried their walkers here and waited thousands of years to come back to get them and then destroy humanity was just completely stupid. With all the development projects they would have to be buried very deep in the earth's crust for us not to find them….and even then, use of and underground sonar probably would have pinged back to find them…. Oh and the use of energy shields again as in the original movie was dumb too. The book's lack of shields and use of chemical weapons by the invaders was much more plausible to me personally. |

what a great model. film was very bad, but models were very good. |

Wolphprophet, I promise you that the Victorian one was far, far, far worse. Ed Wood's Plan 9 looked like an Oscar winner beside it. |

I liked the films (original and Tom Cruz). |

I prefer the one from the 50s with Gene Barry. The "walkers" in that version were also much more advanced and dangerous. That said, that's an amazing model. |

I liked some bits of the TC version- the scene with the walker coming out of the ground and going medieval on everyone was very well done, as was the one with the overloaded ferry. For some reason I find the ferry scene to be one of the scarier things I've seen on film.

Mikhail…the film you mention is one I half remember a trailer of…….didnt look much good to me either! |

Geoff, the amazing thing about that film was it was ballyhoed by the press as being a real competitor with the Tom Cruise film and, since it was based on the book and not the Orson Welles radio show it would probably destroy Cruise's film. Truth is I liked the Cruise film also. I drop my believability at the door. I'm not really concerned about Martian psychology in leaving their machines underground for millenia. After all, who knows how a Martian thinks. Probably seemed like a good idea at the time. |

Great model! I didn't care for the Tom Cruise version of the film. But I certainly agree with Mikhail--the Victorian one was atrocious. That was a couple hours of my life I'll never get back. Ted |
