i be not really sure how to even begin to describe how bad this movie be . i like bad film and a they be often the most entertaining . i love bad special effect and bad acting and bad music and and inept direction . with the exception of the music ( which be good than i have expect ) and this movie have all of those quality . the special effect be amazingly bad . the bad i have see since my nintendo 64. some scene to watch for include the thunderchild and the woman be crush by the mechanical foot and the big ben scene and the train wreck . wow and there be so many bad effect . on the plus side and though and some scene of the alien walker be well do . the acting be about as bad a it could possibly have be and have be base directly on h. g. well book . for have such good source material and it almost a though the actor be try to be so over the top a to make it funny . and then there the mustache . the single most distracting piece of facial hair i have see in a long time . of course and only half the movie contain act . the rest be character walk around aimlessly and poorly rendered effect shot . to say that timothy hines be an inept director would be an injustice to inept director . with the use of different colored filter between shot for no particular reason and the use of poorly render background for even inside scene and the bad green screening and it amaze to me how this man ever get approval to direct a movie . i wouldn not imagine it would be possible to turn a brilliant book into this bad a movie . bravo and mr. hines . bravo . my advice to anyone who plan to see this movie be to do what i do represent have some friend who enjoy bad movie over and drink and play poker while watch it and keep drinking and and maybe you will make it all the way through . it do make for an excellent bad movie and so have fun and laugh yourself silly with this disaster .
