War of The Worlds: The Attack [DVD]

Product Information

Voltaire's Micromégas (1752) includes two beings from Saturn and Sirius who, though human in appearance, are of immense size and visit the Earth out of curiosity. At first the difference in scale between them and the peoples of Earth makes them think the planet is uninhabited. When they discover the haughty Earth-centric views of Earth philosophers, they are greatly amused by how important Earth beings think they are compared to greater beings in the universe such as themselves.

And while the Martians are quite naturally the main threat to our leads, an encounter with a deranged clergyman (Vincent Regan; 300, Dark Encounter) adds a threat more akin to something from a slasher film to the proceedings. Not that that’s the only horror adjacent element to the film, the opening scenes in the woods feel more like a creature feature than a sci-fi film, and a revelation about what the Martians need humans for is distinctly horrific.

Wells grew up in a society where the merit of an individual was not considered as important as their social class. His father was a professional sportsman, and seen as inferior to 'gentle' status. His mother was a domestic servant, and Wells himself was initially apprenticed to a draper. As a scientist, he was able to relate his experiences of struggle to Darwin's idea of a world of struggle; but saw science as a rational system, which extended beyond traditional ideas of race, class and religious notions, and in his fiction challenged the use of science to explain political and social norms of the day.
