War of the Worlds (Dramatized)

Not as good as the orginal, but an enjoyable update of a classic. Gates McFadden as reporter Carla Phillips is an interesting twist. The recording also includes an interesting interview with McFadden.

Active, updated for modern times, and very good to hear.
Would recommend it for a good listening at night with all lights shut and dark... you get the idea..

If I've never heard the original, then I'd rate this much higher. As it is, the original gives a more realistic fealing and I'm spoiled to it's effect.

When "War of the Worlds" first was on the air, most of America was in a state of panic, thinking the end of the world was here. This classic program is done with some of the biggest names in science fiction. I would recomend it to my friends because they can enjoy a masterpeice and be able to use there imagination once more.

I liked how well the cast worked together, playing off each others emotions.

well there is already several films on this, i dont think i need to worry about that

If you want to have a throw back to the good classic radio days, this is where you should start. Old radio shows is the start to the home entertainment industry in my opinion, and as such take time to see how your parents or grandparents where able to enjoy there weekday night.

I was little disappointed. I thought Orson Wells original radio program was what I purchased. It was ok lisening to but nothing like the original. This is why I'm rating it lower then probably deserves.

Almost ordered, what I assumed would be the original broadcast, then read the customer review. I'll think a bit more about this NEW production before ordering.
