The War of the Worlds (1953 film)/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The war machines! They're totally indestructible, and even an atomic bomb fails to put so much as a scratch on them. The ship design may be a bit dated today, but you can't help being a little impressed.
    • The first battle is especially impressive. The order to fire is given and the war machines are standing imperiously as all the bombs and bullets hit their force fields uselessly. Even the heat rays are swaying back and forth as though the war machines were looking around at the puny forces around with contempt. "Oh, this is all you've got?" they seem to say right before they unleash their own weapons.
