The memoir of the last living survivor of the Earth/Mars War of 1900 during the apocalypse at the hands of terrifying alien invaders.
Critic Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times said, "’War of the
Worlds The True Story is clever like Wells. Hugely inventive and
ambitious, a mock sci-fi docudrama packed with a truly impressive — and
clever — mix of editing (a reported 3 1/2 years' worth), special
effects, visual artistry and offbeat storytelling."
Frank Scheck, critic of The Hollywood Reporter called the movie,
"Impressive for its technical achievements...Director/Editor Hines
weaves the various styles of footage together in expert fashion."
Steven Rose Jr. of the Sacramento Examiner gave the movie 5 out of 5
stars and said, “’The True Story’ carries the suspense and drama of both
the 1953 movie and Spielberg’s 2005 version but in a more realistic
manner through its documentary style.”
"Ever
since the 1953 movie adaptation of War Of The Worlds there have been
numerous other translations of Wells’ novel, even a 1988 short lived TV
series, but of all the ones I have seen the only two—yes, only two—I
find worthy of repeated viewings is the ’53 film and this new 2013
docudrama." - Shawn Francis, You Won Cannes
The movie uniquely uses Cutting Edge Visual Effects to blend a modern cast with Battalions of Actual Fighting Soldiers, Golden Age Movie Stars, and previously undisclosed images of Tentacled Alien Creatures and their 10-Story High, 3-Legged Fighting Machines.
