- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 January 2021Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseWas greatly encouraged to invest in the 4k version of this 2005 offering by
some of the reviews written.
Having watched it now my thoughts are simply 'WOW' this a film I have
indeed watched a few times since buying it on Blu-ray, however in my opinion
watching it in this format was like watching the film for the first time, everything
so vibrant.
When I look back on the old 1953 version which of course lacked the special-effects
on offer these days and indeed the 2019 BBC effort which I found hugely disappointing
this version for me simply stands-out as the best.
Certainly, worth the upgrade in my view.
Below, my original Blu-ray review....
WHAT WILL STOP THE INVADERS ?
The film has since it's release attracted mixed reviews many 'slate it' some love it,....myself, I
love special-effect spectacles and watch films to be entertained, this 'Steven Spielberg' offering
does just that, a story of blind panic and intense fear......what if?
'Ray Ferrier' (Tom Cruise) a dock worker lives on his own these days, every so often he has his
two children over to stay, 'Robbie' (Justin Chatwin) who doesn't really want to be there, and 10
year-old 'Rachel' (Dakota Fanning)
A strange phenomenon occurs in the sky's that is totally unexplainable, lightning strikes (lightning
never strikes in the same place 'Ray' tells his Daughter....till' now that is) power fails, holes are
appearing in the ground, a loud rumble causes earthquake-like conditions.
Panic quickly sets in, people are running around like headless chickens but have no escape from
what is happening, buildings and fly-overs are collapsing, all of a sudden, giant machines surface,
the 'World' is under attack.
'Ray's' priority has to be his 'Kids' as the machines begin to exterminate all human life seemingly
and destroy structures.
There's only one thing to do - 'run' - 'Ray' sets off with his children in an attempt to find a safe haven,
however, they will soon discover a place of safety doesn't exist as the 'invaders' broaden their assault.
The temporary safety they thought for a short while they had found is quickly no longer so, a plane
has been brought down in their location leaving devastation in its wake.
Widespread demolition is happening at the 'will' of the machines, where had they come from, is it really
possible they had been planted below ground centuries ago awaiting the return of their creatures.
'Ray' and his children have to fight their way through the fleeing hoards as they seek a safe haven, but
the situation is becoming increasingly more desperate for them.
Young 'Rachel' is terrified by the sights that are confronting her -.'Robbie' is desperate to join the military's
fight back.
Things are beginning to turn far more sinister as it becomes clear what the 'Aliens' need those they capture
for.
The three are separated as 'Ray' now with just 'Rachel' in tow continue to battle for survival...
What on Earth will stop the 'Aliens' and their Machines from enforcing their intent upon the planet?
Will 'Ray' and Daughter 'Rachel' ever reunite with 'Robbie' or has he become a casualty of Wa/r?
The film brings futuristic writer 'H,G.Wells' late 19th-century story to life.
I believe the special-effects harboured in this version would have received the writer's approval.
I like to re-visit films such as this now and again because of the visual impact they bring to the screen.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 June 2020Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseIve been a fan of War of the Worlds for as long as I can remember, from the book, to the Jeff Waynes album to this movie.
I know when it was released it was not everyones cup of tea, but as far as a modernisation of the source material goes, its pretty damn good.
This Blu Ray release for me is the definitive release. The picture quality, although taken from a 2k source is a prime example of how a 4K release should be done. The image quality is pin sharp, the Hdr is spot on and the colour reproduction is first class.
The Atmos soundtrack is phenomenal and really brings the movie to life.
There are the extras for those interested, although they are nothing new so Ive skipped those so far.
There are a few annoyances with the menu, such as it playing loops of the actual movie, but you spent so little time in the menu that it really isnt an issue.
I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to purchase a copy of the movie.
Pros
- phenomenal picture
- top notch HDR
- excellent colour reproduction
- excellent Atmos audio
Cons
- menu system can be a little cumbersome and annoying
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 August 2024Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseNice 4k picture and superb sound effects. Classic tense sci-fi action for 90 mins until the film falls off the rails with the painful Tim Robbins basement scene. Spielberg should do a new directors cut..
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 March 2024Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseGreat movie great actors great movie to watch Id recommend it a lot
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 June 2020Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseJune 8th 2020 - A Fantastic - ATMOS - UHD 4K Makeover.. Really loved this film originally , but was disappointed with - the Blu-ray soundtrack .. This is perfect , I think a great reference - The first 30 minutes give all the speakers a great workout . On my DENON system , 7.2 .. If you have a good setup - dont think twice. I saw this at the cinema on first release, and the picture on our 65inch UHD TV - Flourishes - with detail, all blacks are dark and white is very bright.. Recommended.. All round disc , many extras .. Well worth - the release price of - ?19.95 - if youve watched it at home before - You Aint Seen or Heard - Nothing Yet !?
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 December 2023Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseFantastic 4K transfer. Looks ans sounds amazing.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 January 2021Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseExcellent transfer to ultra HD. Watching the film again impressed me with the cgi, the script,the special effects, the actual size of the production, and the skill of the director. Add to this a real acting performance by Cruise and the two children that shows his True ability .
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 August 2020Style Name: SingleVerified Purchasethis film I did enjoy and again even more so in 4K with the Dolby Atmos sound booming through so good it shakes walls, the alien craft signal is so loud it has to be heard over and over, the image is excellent and worth getting.. the only problem with this movie is the little girls screaming, she doesn't do it once or twice but throughout and can be really off putting but don't let her screaming fits put you off this fine 4K film
