A half-century after its creation, the film's best moments are still so enjoyably unnerving that they easily carry a viewer through the necessary but inevitably dated exposition.
Hollywood Reporter
Rating: 4/5 --
Definitely a sci-fi classic from the 1950s...great George Pal effects.

Rating: 3/5 --
Understandably well-remembered, but its status as a high classic seems more incidental than earned.

Paramount's Technicolor was the era's most vibrant, and Gordon Jennings' now-primitive Oscar-winning effects still look cool in this George Pal production.

New York Times
War of the Worlds is a socko science-fiction feature, as fearsome as a film as was the Orson Welles 1938 radio interpretation of the H.G. Wells novel.

Variety
Too bad about the wooden cast, the tackily conventional romance, and a draggy religious message; but at least, given the time it was made, it isn't imbued with Cold War hysteria.

Product Description:
H.G. Wells' 1901 novel of the invasion of the Earth by Martians is brought to the screen with dazzling special effects.
