The Tripods looks spectacular

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2005)

From design, modelling, animation and final rendering, the Tripods are a paragon of Alien design.
Streamlined, aggressive and terrifying, I have never witnessed aliens like this on film. The head is a circular front light display capped off by a helmet. The legs are 3 taped tentacles. Two at the front, one at the back. They end in three pronged hands. The other smaller tentacles they have top off the look. The only humour in the film comes from the aliens. Sucking up people with a tentacled straw and later pissing them out as red weed fertiliser. The aliens in the cellar spinning a wheel was a good touch. So was the tripod reflections in car windows.
They rock man, they make the film.
