WAR OF THE WORLDS 1953 (CRITERION) BLU-RAY

The all time classic sci-fi film finally gets the 4K Blu-ray treatment from Criterion.

One of my all time favorite films looks like I have never seen it before after Criterion gets done with it. They hit it out of the ballpark on this release. Possibly the best release of 2020.

Martians invade the Earth with the intent of taking over and they mean business. I am sure everyone knows the plot so there is really no sense in going into a lot of detail over that.

The battle scene between the Army and the Martians is, in my opinion, the greatest battle scene ever in any science fiction film. Criterion has done an excellent job with this movie and it looks gorgeous. The beautiful 3 strip technicolor is a sight to see and it simply has never looked better.

There are several extras included a 2005 documentary about the film which is a must see. I cannot imagine any true fan of this film or any 50's sci-fi not having this excellent movie in their collection.

A VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BLU-RAY AND FILM.
