Brilliant and touching

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Very imaginative and well executed, plays like a genuine History Channel documentary.
This "mockumentary" is not for laughs, but a fascinating vehicle for science fiction.
I have long wished that someone would make a movie based on "War of the Worlds," and keep the setting in H. G. Wells' era when the concept of alien technology would be beyond the imagination of the people of those times. While this is not that story, this film comes closest to fulfilling my wish.

How could anybody use WWI footage and make a mockery of it with Alians. It s very disrespectful

I thought this is a well executed program. At first I thought I was going to hate it due to the recycled footage. Then I remembered that WWI documentaries are stuck with the same problem. Movie cameras were bulky, finicky and needed the right light, etc. Th interviews were pretty good. I like the use of lighting techniques to make the interviews look "old". Good performances all. I did like the two buddies from the American Frontiersmen.As a long time alternate history buff, I liked it. Though I did see what I believe are flaws. Such as, where are the Russians? I don't think Tsar Nicky II would sit idly by while France is invaded and most of Germany destroyed. The late entry of the U.S.? An alien invasion has taken place, even Wilson would see there is no time to lose. The American Frontiersman was a nice touch. Though I think Teddie Roosevelt would have led it, health conditions not withstanding. A good effort.

Wow, wouldn't it be cool if they did a documentary on H.G. Wells The War of the Worlds like that was a real thing? Well, maybe. and maybe, someday that movie will be made.What they did here was take some stock footage from World War I, and then interpose bad CGI versions of Martian War Machines. And obviously, they thought that aping the History Channel's style would be interesting, but it really wasn't.I think in the first ten minutes, they used the same shots four or five times.So the plot is that Martians have landed in Germany, and instead of WWI being fought against Germany, it is fought against the Martians. And they put in a bunch of fake interviews with old people and fake scholars.And I promise, we are going to make these same recycled shots interesting.
