I've seen two versions of WotW. The Gene Barry version from the 50s and this one. Both are good, but I really recommend seeing this new one on the large screen in a theater with good sound. My wife and I were astounded and my daugher was terrified (in a good, healthy movie sort of way).
By the way, Gene Barry has a cameo.
Now that's a nice touch...
Must check - is it true that Ann Robinson from the 1953 film also appears?
I watched the 1953 version again instead - flaws and all, it's still great. I never drive by the LA city hall without thinking how good it looks despite being blown up by the Martians all those years ago!
"By the way, Gene Barry has a cameo."
Ooh, where was it? I was thinking it would be a great link to the older film but I don't know what Gene Barry looks like after fifty years.
Where was he in the movie?
