Hines deserves praise for sticking to his conviction that Wells’ story as written deserves dramatization, and he proves his point. The failings of WAR OF THE WORLDS can’t be attributed to Wells, only the strengths. And if Hines had a hundred million dollars in his budget, there’s no doubt that the money would be well spent. But with the cards he’s dealt, his film only functions as a sort of lavishly illustrated version of the novel, and not a movie that triumphs on its own merits. Definitely worth a look for serious science fiction fans, but all others are advised to take it with a grain of salt.
