This is what Star Trek would’ve looked like if Germany won WWII.

There are things about the 2005 version that I like but this is by far the better of the two. It also doesn't come with that 2000s post-9/11 baggage.

If you want more George Pal and more HG Wells and a story which influenced Dr Who: The Daleks, then you should consider watching "The Time Machine" from 1960.

In the novel, the Martians capture humans and feed on them using blood transfusion. It is this which kills them, because of viruses in the blood they have no immune system to fight.

George Pal = genius

I swear, the sound you hear when the Martians are firing their machines sounds just like my grandma's old car from the sixties starting up, lol.

As for whether Optimus Prime comes back or not watch Season 3 and 4 of the animated series.

Okay. Have u seen RoboCop or Total Recall. The originals, duh!😊😊😊

How about that shower scene eh Will?

So, the whole point of this movie is it's a satirical take on a fascist, militaristic society. Towards the beginning of the movie they're learning about "the failure of democracy" and we're told that only people with military service are considered full citizens, with the right to have children and vote(after they've been thoroughly brainwashed by the military machine). Their citizens are constantly inundated with military propaganda and executions of alleged criminals are televised after what are almost certainly show trials designed to produce the desired outcome(guilty). All the main characters of this movie start out as fresh-faced kids with hopes and dreams, and by the end, they're all screaming fascist monsters preparing the next generation to die for the state. These characters are not heroic, and their stories are not meant to be inspiring. Underneath all that over-the-top violence and soap opera drama, this movie is meant to be chilling. I mean, the military recruiter guy with no legs at the beginning literally says to Rico, "more meat for the grinder". Because that's all they are. Meat for the machine. And Neil Patrick Harris is literally dressed like a nazi!. It's not subtle at all. This movie may seem fun on the surface, but it's a warning, to all of us.

16:01 thats the point. The original book was a criticism on British imperialism by saying, "we do the same thing. You can’t condemn the martians for doing what our own race have been doing for millennia. The martians are no more evil than we are." And of course the martian ran. Mars has a lot less light than earth, it's eye was not used to the light of the torch, and it hurt. On top of thst it had just had a brick thrown at it, it was in pain and disoriented

Verhoeven made one of the best movies (Soldier of Orange 1977) and one of the worst movies (Showgirls 1995) ever. But Robocop and Total Recall are right in line with Starship Troopers as just good sci-fi fun.

Welcome to the world of Paul Verhoeven movies. He likes to use over the top satire to make his point. Such as the use of propaganda and a military fascist government in Starship Troopers. Of the incredibly corrupt corporation and their takeover of law enforcement with military tech in "Robocop". Now you just have to watch "Total Recall" to have seen my top three Paul Verhoeven movies.

lol the radio guy said "...planet P is..." not penis

"You can't smash up an arcade, they're so retro" 🤣🤣🤣 Oh, you sweet child - they definitely weren't "retro" in the 90's! It could be a Batman film? Are you nuts? Even if you put aside the fact that Bruce was a tween when his parents were murdered, Batman DOESN'T KILL. Yes, it's just you thinking it!!!!! LET IT GO!!!!!! Why is he only concerned about his sheets? Lucky you, no drug addict friends in your life - priorities tend to be out of order for such folk. Seriously, a second of filter might help prevent some of your whacked out theories from making people question your sanity...

Trelane is believed to be an early version of Q in Star Trek the next generation. What do you think buddy? This is one of my favorite original series episodes.

Great react! Can you watch Pride and Prejudice (2005)? Maybe for valentines day since it's a romance. The American version has the best ending (it's a little longer than the British one)

"We cant lose Spock hes a staple!" Me chuckles, thats not how it worked back then

The amount of energy in 3 billion electron volts is tiny, very very tiny. A mistake in the script.

Michael Rennie was in a few starring roles but was relatively unknown when he was given the lead in this movie. He was tall(6'4") his distinctive features voice and accent made him perfect for the role. He also played a very convincing Apostle Peter in the movie The Robe also staring richard burton and victor mature. He was perfect for both roles and was great in them

One of the most exciting sci-fi movies ever. Probably gave 1953 audiences shivers. Emmerich's movie "Independence Day" was a puffed and padded version of "War of the Worlds."

Haha perfect....as I've grown....through the years....I feel beyond great on how I would have handled this situation.

The Martians are coming! The Martians are coming! Orson Welles provides the narration and his influence is all over this film in subtle ways. Gene Barry does a great Orson Welles impersonation during the radio interview minutes before all hell breaks loose. The scene where the machines emerge from the crater as a group is iconic, second only to the scene later in the film when the Martians tear apart the city while the survivors gather in church. The first full scale thermonuclear weapon, which back then was called the hydrogen bomb, was detonated over the Enewetak Atoll in the South Pacific in late 1952. It generated a 10 megaton explosive yield that was over 450 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Nagasaki during World War II. The Soviet Union first tested theirs in 1953. The subtext to this version of War of the Worlds is the Cold War that was developing between the United States and the Soviet Union. For a taste of where that went also check out the 1964 Stanley Kubrick political satire black comedy film Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.

Alot of the Martian weapon sound fx were reused on Star Trek in the 60s. You can clearly hear the 'photon torpedo' sound effect.😊

Hi Will. To improve hearing in the 17th century we had the ear-trumpet. (Beethoven used one). in 1895 The Electric Acouphone was invented. so there have been hearing aid devices for a long time. Jacques Mexico

The Tom Cruise version is ok, but Independence Day is another remake.

My favorite alien invasion movie. I first saw it in the early 80's, and it made a huge impression on me.

The

Most used line in movies, radio or TV at 5:25 "Let's get outa here!"

This movie (as well as the 2005 remake) follows the original book surprisingly closely, save for updating the timeframe and changing the venue. The first lines and the last lines are near direct quotes from the amazing 1898 HG Wells novel.

I am surprised you didn't know how the movie would end even though you didn't see it. This was written by H.G. Welles. in the late 1800's and is well known. A radio version of this was broadcast in the late 1930's as a news program and people who tuned in without knowing that the "news" was really a fictional story thought it was real. I was born in 1950 and we were taught this in school. When I saw this movie in TV, I already knew how it ends. Welles also wrote The Time Machine and many other famous stories. What are they teaching in literature class these days?

I greatly prefer the graceful, copper war machines of this movie to the 2005 version. These are beautiful ships, despite their deadliness.

You're sense of humor combined with your appreciation for the movie Jahre is great... perhaps an interesting choice for you would be 1951's SUPERMAN AND THE MOLE MEN... The story isn't as black and white as the film. 😄

This film was a huge influence on Gene Roddenberry in his creation of Star Trek, and George Lucas was a huge fan, utilizing similar shots in the Death Star scenes.

The Tom Cruise version is mostly close ups of Cruise playing Tom Cruise as usual.

At 12:08; seeing the shields, I had the thought that mines could be laid in the path of the ships and detonated when the ships are over them (hopefully all three). It's plot armor that saved humans.

professor barnhardt was played by a blacklisted actor named sam jaffe. he also appeared in 1947's "gentleman's agreement" an EXCELLENT social commentary film starring gregory peck. and he played the title character, an indian, in 1939's action/adventure "gunga din" which starred cary grant and douglas fairbanks jr. based on the rudyard kipling poem. he was mainly a well known stage actor who, in his later career, appeared almost exclusively in tv shows as a guest star. he was nominated for a suporting role oscar for "the day the earth stood still." thanks for the video.

I laughed at whatever version you looked at. Since when is red planet Mars blue? I have the Criterion release and Mars is correctly red. Must be one of the lame streaming versions.

This is a favorite sci-fi movie as well as ' The Day The Earth Stood Still ' both have remakes but I prefer the originals

It’s sad that not one of those beautiful models of the martian ships survived. Too bad. They’re gorgeous models.

invisible invadors great movie

Another great 1950's Sci-Fi movie is Them. What they did with so little is amazing .

Not a fan of the 2005 movie, BUT I would enjoy your reaction to the pilot episode, "The Resurrection", of the sequel 1988 T.V. series "The War of the Worlds", which picks up 35 years after the events of this movie. Starring the late Jared Martin, Lynda Mason Green, Philip Akin, and Richard Chaves.

I have always wondered, if Klattu was a human, abducted at very young age, by an alien race because that race knew, at later date, they would him as an emissary to Earth. I think Klattu hints at that possibility.

Gort was played by Lock Martin who at the time was a doorman at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. He was chosen for the part because of his towering 7'4'' (224cm) height. Michael Rennie was cast as Klaatu because being British he was unknown at the time to American audiences. The studio wanted Spencer Tracy for the role but he was considered too well known to play a visiting alien.

Great take on this grand old movie - brovo

As a child of the 1950s who was born and raised in the Midwest, I can tell you that Square Dancing was a known thing back then. As one of Heinlein's characters in one of his juvenile novels pointed out ""Square Dancing" was when squares dance.
