War of The Worlds
Hi,
This is Marya your hostess for the supernatural.
I have a question regarding the comparison of two filmings of the same story.
The film is the War Of The Worlds.
I have copies of both the recent one starring Tom Cruise and the earlier 1953 version with Gene Barry & Ann Robinson.
While the special effects are excellent on the newer one and the acting is quite good by Cruise and cast, I still like the 1953 version best .
With almost 50 years difference between the two, I still find the special effects on the 1953 one outstanding, especially since they did not have the help of computers as modern fiilms do.
I also found the acting by Barry & Robinson very invigerating!
I would like to know your opinion on this?
Do you like the more modern version best or the older classic version?
I would like to see what other sci fi and horror buffs think.
Your hostess for the supernatural
Marya Zaleska
