2005 W.O.T.W draws on all 3 previous

Rating: 8/10 (5 July 2005)

The current version draws on ALL 3 version of War of the worlds. H.G. Wells chilling novel - Jeff Wayne's Musical Version and the 1950's movie version. Example. the 'Fog horn' sound emitted from the tripods in dual-tone. very similar to the musical version's tripod drone of "Ul-la". For those unfamiliar with the Musical Version. Find it and have a listen, and NO, It's not a musical like Moulin Rouge or Sound of Music.
As for the movie (2005) the ending was too abrupt which in turn renders it SH-T! Awesome Special effects and sound. Shame it ran out of puff after an hour.
