I'm not sure what the other reviewers were expecting to see maybe that overhyped version that Spielberg did with Tom Cruise but this one is closer to what HG Wells story was like. Takes place in the right place and time. Excellent performances by all and good tense moments. Ignore the naysayers, I don't know what movie they were watching, it wasn't this one. Picks up the pace by episode 2. Direction is great, special effects are perfect for this type of story without being flashy and overwhelming. Definitely worth a watch. This Is War of the Worlds without all the updating.
