While I loved the FX in this version of H. G. Wells classic, I found it impossible to suspend any believability in the face of such complete nonsense. OK, so we are expected to believe that these super advanced , intelligent, extraterrestrials, that visited the earth thousands of years ago, buried machines very deep in the earth,, which start right up after said thousands of years. And these same geniuses return for a 2nd visit, (by riding lightning no less), and FORGOT TO GET A FLU SHOT FIRST! What, didn't the first visitors get sick? If they all died, wouldn't that have been noticed by the second arrival 1,000 years later? Just plain insulting to any viewers over the age of 5!!
