A Disappointment

Rating: 3/10 (21 April 2013)

I originally saw the movie in the theater and walked out mumbling to myself. Given the resources of those involved in this flick -- and their talents -- I had no idea why this enterprise felt so empty and uninspired. In any case, I recently watched the film again on Blu Ray...and felt the same way. Also, will someone explain to me why the entire movie was filmed in a way that makes us feel like we're all peering through a glass of skim milk to see what's on the screen.
As dated as some of the scenes are in the 1953 version, that film still packs a powerful wallop, and the Martian war machines remain alien-looking and beautiful....and scary as heck.
