War of the Worlds: The Attack (2023) YTS

No name actors, with a no name script. The only saving grace of this film is the fact that it keeps some of the elements of the original novel. The good, the beginning and ending of the movie is lifted almost directly from the original HG Wells novel, the Martians are depicted almost exactly like Wells describe them and the tripod walking machines are almost exactly as described in the 1898 novel.The bad, most of the movie focuses on three youths and their typical teen angst. Most of the movie is simply the young characters simply traveling from place to place boringly, very boringly. There is nothing redeemable or captivating enough to make you connect with any of them in any way shape or form. You could have taken the first 15 minutes of the movie and the last 10 minutes of the movie and shoved them together in a 25 minute webisode and had a more enjoyable watching experience, for the hour in the center of a movie nothing happens except walking around and arguing.Sticking close to the original novel was interesting, but the execution was sorely lacking, I've seen better high school productions.My rating of three stars breaks down as follows, one star because you can't give any less, one star added for the look of the machines in the aliens matching the original novel, and one star added for keeping the beginning and ending of the novel intact, that's the best I can do.

Decent ideas, including a solid script and characterisations. Regrettably, I felt it was ultimately, a little stunted in terms of story progression. Let down, I suspect, by a limited budget. Its a shame there is not more financial support for Indie film producers. Many have a lot to offer and I think with a better financing, this could have really done well. In summary, not a bad little film if you acknowledge what it is. Certainly better ideas on offer, I feel, than many bigger productions, with larger budgets.
