One of my favorite SF movies when I was a kid, the gorgeous Martian War Machines remain an icon. Don't watch it expecting a personal drama: this film is all about SFX, amazing miniatures, and faith as the source of resistance to the evils of this world.
Three stars and a heart.

Today I always get a chuckle at the references to the rural Inland Empire of Southern California, with call-outs to landings in the Corona and Pomona areas, and the last-ditch attempt to nuke the Martians in the Puente Hills. These days that's all suburbia — back then it was tiny farming towns and dirt roads.
