Review of Battle of the Worlds


Sci fi fans will absolutely love Battle of the Worlds. The story revolves around a stray planet that happens to be on a collision course with Earth. Instead of colliding with Earth; however, the planet begins to orbit the third planet from the sun. Excitement really begins to heat up when a fleet of saucers are launched from the planet and begin to attack space fleets from Earth. The effects are quite effective, pardon the pun, and leave the audience wondering what will happen next. A scientist, who is somewhat offbeat, known as Professor Benson and portrayed by Claude Rains, begins to work around the clock with a team of scientists to try and save Earth from a crash with the stray planet. When they discover the planet is colliding with Earth after all, they must switch gears and try to keep the invaders from penetrating Earth.

The quandary by the end of the movie facing the good scientists and all of the lab coats working with him is whether it is worth it to sacrifice a few in order to save the entire Earth from possible invasion and destruction. This timeless quandary leaves the leaves the audience wondering at the sacrifices they would make if forced into a similar situation.

Battle of the Worlds is a sure sci fi classic that anyone who enjoys out of this world excitement and drama will enjoy.
