      The Martians invaded the earth, and the nuclear bomb was ineffective

      The American science fiction film "War of the World", released in 1953, is based on the science fiction novel of the same name by British writer HG Wells. Unlike the original novel's setting and story background, the main story of this film takes place in the United States. The film tells the story of human beings on Earth who have experienced two world wars and are caught in a war with a group of aliens from Mars who have been looking for a livable planet. The army was...

      My sci-fi enlightenment

      The BBC has just released a new three-episode miniseries "War of the World". After watching it quickly, I couldn't help but revisit the 1953 version of "War of the World". In the past, it was difficult to find online resources. In the past few years, the resources have been abundant, and they can be found without much effort, and the download speed is also very fast. It is said that a 4K repair version was released in 2018. The picture quality of your brother is similar to that of DVD. It is...

      Microbes... the biggest enemy

      I think this movie is so-so on science fiction, but it was pretty good when it was done in the past.

      Secondly, I think this movie is quite philosophical. Aliens may be very powerful when they come to Earth, but they end up dying of a small microbe. I think it’s very philosophical. If you want to adapt to a planet, you must adapt to its ecosystem.

      In the end, I feel that the reaction to human nature is indeed quite strong. The man who hid with him in the basement killed the old...

      1953 original version~

      The first version of the film adapted from the classic science fiction novel of GH Wells was a landmark work in 1951. As the cast and crew of this film said, this film is destined to be written into film history. There is another interesting thing about this novel. In 1938, Orson Wells’ famous radio play was also adapted from this novel. That radio play really scared Americans at the...

      WTF? That's it? Seriously despise the unfinished ending. Qualified scores are given to imagination and special effects scenes, and negative points should be given to the character creation. The hero and heroine who have no personality at all will make people forget when they see it. And that pastor, it made me...

    Movie plot

    The Martians were unable to survive due to Martian climate change and planned to invade the earth. When the first spacecraft landed on the earth, the residents thought it was a meteorite. Dr. Kleifast learned that there was radioactivity through the detection equipment , and he needed to wait to cool down to check it out, but someone was curious to watch it and was killed unexpectedly. All human weapons can't deal with the Martian...

    • First Radio Reporter: Hey! They cut me off. They got my truck.

    • Commentary: The Martians had calculated their descent with amazing perfection and subtlety. As more of their cylinders came from the mysterious depths of space, their war machines, awesome in their power and complexity, created a wave of fear throughout the world.

    • Dr. James: If you're interested in Martian blood, you can get all you want right after the plane drops the bomb.
