OK Could have been better

Rating: 5/10 (1 July 2005)

I've seen the original 1953 version of W.O.T.W. several times and for it's time it was a top notch SCI-FI movie. Even though this new release has some real awesome F/X, there were far too many scenes that at best were mediocre. In a lot of scenes the main characters had too much of that "Human Endeavor" B.S. going on and not nearly enough interaction with the foe's of the film. I think if the movie would have had more short battle and struggling scenes and less lets go hide stuff the movie would have ended for me with a smile and not a yawn. There has been a whole lot of advertising for this film but I think after the second weekend word of mouth will cause this movie to fizzle out.
