This documentary is being broadcast on the 100th anniversary of the initial Martian attacks and is also a tribute to the millions of Vanished. It's not War Of The Worlds and is more Euro-centric in styling but watch it if you can. It's a Canadian production but hopefully it gets global distribution. The 'documentary' uses real archival footage with Martian tripods spliced in and is amazing to watch. The interviews with the survivors are great ! Some great 'tips of the hat' to history as well – American isolationism, home by Christmas and I laughed out loud when they showed how the Germans got to the front. Definitely worth watching ! |

I searched vainly for it as it was broadcast on History Channel UK only. |

I was pretty impressed by this effort. It aired on the History Channel here in Canada, but it would have worked equally well on Space (the Canadian cable Sci Fi channel). The "archival" interviews with the "witnesses" and "veterans" _were_ well done. These older acters (a couple of whom I recognise from commercials and the like) really did a good job with material that had to be a bit odd for many of them. Paul |

Just watched this. I thought it was fantastic! Quite believable in an odd kind of way… Although I kept thinking, what was happening in the east..? I did find it amusing that the Americans were late to this war too! 8^) |

Well, you'll be able to game it all when Alien Dungeon releases their "All Quiet on the Martian Front" next year :) link |

I watched this last night…excellent stuff, (funny, if you google it not much comes up apart from the history channel ads etc) Id have thought the internet would have loved this)and to my mind rather chilling. Not the sort of thing I should have been watching whilst the lights kept flickering on and off for an hour before the whole town lost power. I was left sat in the dark wondering where my clean pants were… |

Thought it was bloody good to be onest and well put together, very realistic. |

I thought it was good if a little slow n places. I did feel a bit uncomfortable with CGI martians added in over the top of real war footage with actual people being shot at… John T |
