Trivia:
This went into production as RKO was preparing to shut down. It was believed to have had a much larger budget which was later cut. This greatly affected the quality of the special effects. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When Barbicane and Ben are calling Nicholl before boarding the spaceship, an insert shot of Nicholl supposedly looking at them from the ship's exterior entry is actually an insert of an interior shot seen later in the film (when Nicholl is watching the other two after the gyro malfunctions). more

Awful awful awful.
I kept wondering if this movie wasn't made in 1928, not 1958.
War of the Worlds was made in 1953 and is like Star Wars compared to this movie.
I could make this movie in my backyard with a camcorder and a $1000 budget. Okay, maybe not.
Sound editing was crappy, special effects (if you can call them that) were bad, acting was pretty bland. The storyline was bad.
The costumes were okay, that's about it.
I saw it on Turner Classic Movies, but I still want my money back.
