@@SteVin89 What a treat to hear from someone who was around when this film was first released! Out of curiosity, what was it like back then, knowing there were two (or three if you count Asylum's version, although I'm not sure the release of that one was announced) WotW movies coming, for which one of them you had higher hopes? And at what point did you all, um, see the Pendragon version for what it was?

@@scorch1648 I was around fifteen when this was going on, so quite naive when it came to movies and how they are made. The Spielberg movie turned out to be the best of the three in my opinion, but in the lead up fans there was a general persuasion that this was David amd Goliath scenario, with most of us rooting for the more faithful adaptation of Wells' novel. When the movies finally released people were, of course, disapointed with the Pendragon production, however there were some that still preferred it over Spielberg's version. I especially remember many being impressed with the musical score. Fans quickly put their hopes into a rumoured animated film by Jeff Wayne; a project that never materialized. The animation work that was done with Wayne's adaptation turned out to be for the live on stage version of his musical version. Forgive my long-winded answer, but this teaser brought back many memories.

Well, the resolution is like this because this is a trailer which Pendragon had uploaded on their website some, ahem, *19 years* ago. Obviously, the resolution of the actual released movie is better

@@scorch1648 Ah ok, if only someone recorded the actual movie lol

I actually bought the three-hour DVD. An insult to Ed Wood.

The Thunderchild took down *two* fighting machines in the book actually. Funnily enough, I for some reason thought they showed it taking down *three* of them in this movie, but no, they kept it accurate to the novel here as well

@@scorch1648 Didn't it blow its cannon, taking out the 3rd one

@@KuperSpyronicStudios sorry for a late reply. In the novel the Thunderchild took down the first tripod with her guns, presumably, and the second with ramming it after being hit by a heat ray. As for the third one, after the Thunderchild exploded, the steam mixed with the black smoke spread out so that, almost direct quote from the novel, nothing could be made out of the third fighting machine. By the way, in a hypothetical novel-accurate adaptation of WotW I'd love to make (but quite unprobable I will) I plan to show the Thunderchild taking down all the three tripods, with her ramming another one after it launches a black smoke canister at the ship

@@scorch1648 First off, no worries, man, second, I would love to see that. I will watch with interest

Everyone has their own opinion of what they like and enjoy. Tbh Pendragon or asylum version still can't decide on my 3rd spot of wotw's films

@@JgaAllen Right, that's true. By the way, a few videos related to the Pendragon's film (the 2005 one) posted on youtube have mysteriously disappeared from there lately. Apparently, the creators of the films are out again to erease any trace of their film. So, you may want to download all the trailers and stuff related to the film I've uploaded before it gets taken down

Yeah, I also might upload a video regarding the original version of the film (the one which was to be set in Seattle in modern days) with concept art for it and so on. Personally speaking, I actually like the Asylum version *more* than the PP film, at least for the fact they filmed the night scenes in the actual damn night, and it also does an ok job adapting the original book (despite changing the setting and the ummm tripods (which are not even tripods anymore) design). The Tom Cruise version I really like, but IMO the best version is 'The True Story', which is just a remake of the Pendragon film but done right and with responsibility. I actually like it more than its fake documentary-style-wise counterpart, 'The Great Martian War'

Frankly, I think the acting is one of the least problems in this movie (actors of the Curate and the Writer actually act really well, I'd dare to say). Everything else though. . .

Not when you consider that this is basically a film student's project done on almost no budget.

​@MaskedMan66 No, the film budget was $25 million, which was 3 times the budget of the 1953 War of the Worlds movie back in 2005. The Jeff Wayne's Musical stage show that came out less than a year after this movie, did the Thunder Child battle far better justice with far less money and only 3 weeks to animated the CGI animation for that entire stage show.

​@@s452_Gojisauruswait this film had a budget of 25 MILLION?!? You have to be joking

I may upload some more clips from it if you'd like, or maybe the whole film, unless it gets taken down because of the copyright of course.

@@scorch1648 YES! PLEASE!

but if it was the whole film published would it be the original cut or the director's cut

Bratiska simply could not stand it after the bullying, humiliation and sexual violence against the Crazy former officer from the village, they were going to be executed for unknown war crimes

@@ИраПилипенко-м5ъ thats true

i feel sad for the nutcase

@@tamtamich4 yea i see

​@@greycatturtle7132 Interesting fact the blood and guts in this scene were real only of animal origin bought at a butcher store

makes sense since the book took place in 1894 and this was made from inspiration from the book

@@TheEpicGest this film didn't just take take inspiration from the book, it actually has to be the most accurate adaptation of it... and, imho, the crappiest. On a side node, speaking of the year in which the action takes place in the book: I don't think that it is actually 1894. This can be proved by a sentence from about the very start of the book, which says "early in the *twentieth century* came the great disillusionment." And the year 1894 wasn't during the twentieth century anyhow but the nineteenth one. On the other hand, the official sequel to the novel titled 'The massacre of mankind', which is set in 1920, mentions that the first invasion occured thirteen years before, therefore making the year it took place 1907.

What film, to be precise?

nooooo +++++

You're welcome!

Niestety nie. Nie wiem nawet jak ten kanał wyglądał i jakie filmy tam były. Te filmy co mam tu, na kanale, dostałem dzięki temu, że ktoś (możliwie, że sam Araxuss) zapisał ich używając WebArchive-a, i dla tego, żeby ich oglądać potrzebne są linki. Szczęściem, ja akurat miałem linki do prawie wszystkich filmów które były na dzisiejszym kanale Araxuss-a. Jeden czy dwa film niestety nie potrafiłem znaleźć, z tego co pamiętam jeden z nich miał scenę z ludzikiem H*tlera. A co do The Fox Commander, niestety, myślę że z tego kanału nic nie pozostało. Czyli jakiekolwiek filmy z niego mogą być tylko u Araxuss-a, jeśli on jakimś cudem i nadal ich ma po ≈15 latach. Jak już mówiłem, nie wiem prawie nic o tym kanału, oprócz tego że był tam jakiś filmik o klonach-zombie czy coś w tym stylu. Jeśli wiesz coś jeszcze o tym kanału, proszę mnie poinformować

@@scorch1648 masz jakiś komunikator? Możemy wspólnie poszukać

Mam discorda jeśli tobie pasuje. Ewentualnie Messengera

I might add subtitles when I'll have some time. The "Szata Sithów domowej roboty czy coś tam..." vid already has them, you can check it out if you want
