The Great Martian War Archive Footage
« on: 08 October 2014, 11:07:26 AM »
Never got to see the History Channel's show, but just discovered this Vimeo of the archive footage which looks amazing, (shame about the music they've used, but what can you do?)

Anyway, enjoy.

Did I see a mix of Brodie's and Stahlhelm's coming out of the trenches at the Martians, maybe 1:14?

Thanks, would have like to have seen the other show, as well, in spite of the lukewarm reception I heard from a lot of folk.  :D

I really enjoyed the show. You can probably still watch it through "questionable" sources.  :D

It's not a bad little, doco, more WWWI than VSF, but it looks great. Fair warning though, the ending is a bit silly and kind of kills it.

It is a great film, I agree with Hat Guy that the ending is a little silly but otherwise excellent. The "archive" footage is a bit overused but that actually ties in with the style of documentary they were trying to emulate.

The actors are great and the weaving of the martian invasion into the timeline of WWI nicely done.

This is what war of the world's goliath should have been *sigh*  :?

Cheers

Beast, you very well may have seen British and Germans on same size.  The premise is that all humanity joins together to fight the Martians.
