Please note that this is just my opinion.
My girlfriend knows what an obsessive (and that's the phrase she used for it) fan of everything WOTW I am. Thus, when she saw this at Blockbuster she picked it up for us to watch together.
We couldn't help but lampoon it MST3K style.
When we got our "glimpse" of Mrs. Herbert, she gave me a dirty look and I could do nothing but throw up my hands and say, "I didn't know that was in there! They don't interest me in the slightest!"
When the walkers appeared her reaction was confusion mixed with amusement.
"I thought you said they walked on three legs...?"
"What the...it looks like a cross between a lizard and a crab!"
"Is that claymation? I've seen better CG on the Scifi Channel at 4 A.M.!"
My response was that they put the walkers on six legs so they didn't have to figure out how tripod locomotion would work, they could just put motion capture sensors on a roach or something, yes it did look like the unholy offspring of a union between a lizard and a crab, and no it was not claymation, I should know I've seen enough Harryhausen.
We made fun of the acting a lot, especially Samuelson's over-the-top lunacy and Victor's freak-outs.
THEY INJECTED THE MARTIANS WITH...RABIES? RABIES? I love how when George injects the Martian with it it throws up red lightning bolts, because you know, rabies always resembles red lightning bolts.
When Victor got shot in the fact with Martian...digestive enzyme spray or whatever the heck that was...she asked me "did the alien just [ejaculate] on him?" using a much less polite word than ejaculate, which resulted in me being on the floor laughing after nearly spraying Dr. Pepper out my nose. Then she nearly cried when his face started dissolving (she doesn't handle gore well) so I had to get back on the couch quick for her to bury her face in my chest.
The Martians have innards made out of Silly String(tm)?
The martians got some sort of virus or something, so we win by default. And, as my girlfriend said, "WE'RE GONNA REBUILD! 'Cause we're Americans and we never learn our lesson from alien invaders! So it's all gonna be BIGGER and BETTER than BEFORE!"
All in all, I give it 4 stars out of 10. Just because it made us laugh.
