A young boy is awakened during a storm to witness a flying saucer land in the field behind his home. No one will believe his story as, one by one, the townspeople are captured and put under the control of sinister forces from the planet Mars! Brilliantly created by visionary set designer and director William Cameron Menzies (designer of "Gone with the Wind" and H.G. Wells' "Things to Come") with a haunting musical score by Raoul Kraushaar, this golden age sci-fi classic has lost none of its chilling power. Surreal imagery brought to terrifying life in a Cinecolor world just beyond our nightmares!

Summary: suspenseful!
Comment: Movie captured my imagination and held it entire length. Never boring throughout and I was anxious to see how it would end! Saw movie long ago and stirred the same memories up again of an enjoyable yet scary and entertaining movie. Still sends chills as if it were a true story that could possibly happen in real life if aliens did invade our earth. Good color and clarity! Music background excellent as was storyline. Enjoyable and truly a keeper!

Summary: Goofy but fun
Comment: Don't you just hate it when you're trying to get someone to believe you, and no one will? Especially when it's something important and sounds completely crazy. That's the frustration of David, the young boy in the movie who can't get anyone to listen to him. When he does get a sympathetic ear, he spots the "mark" on the back of their necks indicating they've already been brainwashed by the martians. It was bad enough to see the spaceship land out behind his home, but then his parents get caught and brainwashed too! Then the policeman is the same way. The story is good and keeps you interested even though you do chuckle throughout the movie. The special effects are nothing like todays standards, but this is another one of those great classic sci-fi movies that's fun to watch. The thing that made me laugh the most was the sound that always came about when the sand was opening up for the people to fall through. Sounded more like a chorus of people singing than something eerie but effective anyway. Definitely worth adding to your collection of classic sci-fi / monster movies.

Summary: Fun Sci-Fi Classics
Comment: This movie has an ending that sticks with me after more than 50 years! The special effects are just plain silly in places, especially the guys in the green suits charging around in the tunnels time after time after time, and a lot of "leaps of faith" are required to believe the plot, but that is part of the fun.

Summary: Real Cult Classic
Comment: I remember seeing this when I was seven years old and the impression it made. It filled my imagination for a week. Compared against modern stuff with special effects it may seem wooden or hollow. But keep in mind that it was made with a shoestring budget when special effects were very limited. Six years later people marveled and were slack jawed when the Red Sea parted in the "Ten Commandments" Arguably, I would group this film with two others of that era, "The Day the earth stood still" and "Forbidden Planet" as sci-fi classics of the time.

Summary: Destroyed by Colorization
Comment: An OK film, rendered completely worthless by colorization. Not one of the skin tones looks realistic. If I was one of the technicians working on the transfer I would hang my head in shame. Everything looks like a very poorly drawn cartoon.
Please stop doing this to old films. I highly recommend not purchasing this DVD until a black and white version is released.
