1.0 out of 5 stars War of the Worlds - an historical retrospective, June 30, 2005
By J. A. Dolan (The holy city of Brooklyn) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Disc one is an historical retrospective. It's dull. Nothing in it that we didn't know already. Tape quality is very good. Archival footage they could have used they didn't. Not one science fiction writer interviewed. Clips from the 1938 broadcast wasn't used. Instead the narrator tells you about it. Too general.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bore of the Worlds, July 4, 2005
By L. Waid (Meadville, PA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This documentary is a total bore. There are no clips from the movies, no excerpts from the radio program, no interviews with anybody important and the interviews there are go on forever. You won't learn anything you don't already know about H. G. Wells or the "War of the Worlds". Very disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Set, #2 Best, December 13, 2005
Got this despite a couple of so-so reviews... and was impressed with both disks. I am not a fanatic about The War of the Worlds, so maybe it's a bit different for me (if there are any errors in the historical piece, I didn't see them). Enjoyed the history of Wells. Lots of trivia, some more interesting that others but all worthwhile.

Disk 2, the science of Mars stuff ("100 Years of Exploration"), was really good. Best Mars doc I have seen anywhere- including some of the cable offerings. For my money, the inexpensive cost of the set is worth it for that disk alone.

Remember, YMMV.
