I am very pleasantly surprised by this movie. I enjoy that the screenplay reads much as the novel and is quite faithful to it. The added black and white film work is visually compatible with the other footage artistically chosen, and the editing is excellent. The Martian tripods are well designed and scary; in fact the movie is not just sci-fi but also horror. The chaos depicted pushes the envelope, showing no mercy to humans of all ages and genders. I'm glad I discovered this movie which quickly has become a favorite.
