All right, another movie which I only watch like 4 years after release. I think this is adapted from a novel (of the same title) by H.G. Wells. No doubt usually in such cases, the original novel would be better (even though there is a lack of visual representation). As the name suggests, one can imagine there to be some high tech stuffs at hand. After all, clashes between entities from different worlds would have to mean that at least some of them are high up enough on the technological frontier to navigate between worlds (and attack).

And so, yes this is a sci-fi story about some alien invasion of earth in their brutal extermination of human life. The destructive and wanton nature of them sweeping across the landscape is sooooo spine-chilling, more so the way they extract human blood for whatever reason, to sustain their own life? It almost seemed quite impossible to combat these monstrosities (who are actually not seemingly powerful but) which operated massive droids with weaponry such as massive laser attacks and heat rays, as well as force fields which can stop a missile in its track.

For the large part of the show, hence, it was about fleeing, hiding, finding out a way to avoid these massive weapons of destruction. The end was a little corny. It could be the way the movie had presented it, and I believed maybe the novel might have done it better. Apparently the aliens were susceptible to pathogens in earth’s atmosphere which resulted in their demise, but the movie just ended it quite fast while briefly touching on it, and if I turned a head I would have missed the reason. Besides, much of the content towards the end seems rather rushed, like they were running out of time to end off the show. Lol… Shrugs, maybe it could have been done better. Too many end of the world kind of show and you need to thread on it carefully to craft a unique, engaging and non-anti-climatic one. Just my thoughts.
