Trivia
According to the website owned by one of the the providers of the horses used in the film, the portion of the production involving their horses was shot on a horse ranch outside of Seattle. Other horses and carriages were shot at other ranches with large green-screen setups over eight weeks.

Goofs
After the narrator flees the pit after the Martians' first attack, the train that passes in the background is a late 20th century Americal diesel model rather than a British steam locomotive.

Crazy credits
The Copyright date is given as "MMDCCLVIII", which is the year 2758.

Alternate versions
In response to the criticisms over the 3-hour running time, a Director's Cut released that excises approximately 45 minutes of the original version.

Version of The War of the Worlds (1953)

I only watched the first hour!

I guess I am better off than most of the people who commented on this film. I checked mine out from the local library, so I haven't lost $8.00.

I really wanted to see a version of the movie that was faithful to the book. While this version is faithful, it is so badly made that I could not continue watching it.

What is with the frame rate? At points it looks like they shot it at 24fps and then deleted every third or forth frame! There are a few shots were the characters skitter about so fast that I expected to here the music from the Benny Hill chase scenes.

The worst Dr. Who episode looks better than this. My friend in high school made better films with just a Super8 camera.

Very Disappointing.
