More excellent British Sci-Fi, and this time it's the grand-daddy of them all, the pioneering (self) adaptation of a visionary and totally out-there and apocalyptic H. G. Wells story.More excellent British Sci-Fi, and this time it's the grand-daddy of them all, the pioneering (self) adaptation of a visionary and totally out-there and apocalyptic H. G. Wells story. The citizens of Everytown are faced with having to rebuild society after a crippling WWII that lasts 30 years. Political and social upheaval of an utterly feasible and vaguely prophetic nature turn into extra-terrestrial fantasy of the most imaginative and expansive kind. And the special effects are brilliant.
