Read full review It's interesting to note the latest movie outing with Tom Cruise depicts the Martian war machine remarkably similiar to the way Wells described it in his book. A lesser known made-for-TV movies descripes the aliens as Wells envisioned them. There is to date, no movie or series that follows the famous novel accurately--just the few little exceptions mentioned above. The series adheres faithfully to the 1953 movie as it premise. Because of that, Cruise is given more to do dramatically than per usual. He gets a few stunts and an action scene or two (because why wouldn't you take advantage of his talent) but it's much more about family than it is about anything else. In that regard, the film works most of the time. Cruise plays Ray Ferrier, father to both Rachel and Robbie. Not to intentionally quote another Cruise movie, but it's really (k)night and day with these kids. Dakota Fanning is perfectly cast as Rachel, a pre-teen who is terrified of the apocalyptic world she now lives in. However, I just couldn't get behind Justin Chatwin's performance and the character of Robbie. There were too many times in which I either felt the character was entirely unnecessary to the plot, or he kept the plot from moving forward in frustrating ways. Why does he all of a sudden feel the need to leave his family and join the Army's fight against the tripods? Makes no sense whatsoever. Steven Spielberg's 2005 version, War of the Worlds, although an adaptation of the Wells novel, has several references to the 1953 film. Gene Barry and Ann Robinson have cameo appearances near the end, and the invading aliens have three-fingered hands but are reptilian, walking tripods. A long, snaking, alien camera probe is deployed by the invaders. [38] In his 2018 film Ready Player One, Spielberg included a fallen Martian war machine more akin to the 1953 film. [39]
