Fifteen years after Mars first attacked Earth, human resistance fighters use captured Martian technology to repel a second invasion force from the Red Planet.

Martin Tsai

Los Angeles Times

"War of the Worlds: Goliath" is just a few cereal commercials shy of a pointlessly cartoon marathon - violent, messily drawn and lifelessly dragging.

Noisy battle scenes a la 'Transformers' and 'Starship Troopers' mar this pedestrian animated sequel to H.G. Wells' original story.

Considering that the fate of humankind is at stake, "War of the Worlds: Goliath" is remarkably uninvolving.

War of the Worlds: Goliath isn't fabulous cinema, but it's still got a specific vision and a great voice cast, attributes that make it both distinctive and fun.

Rated: B-

The Dissolve

Cleverly, the animators rattle the frame on the tripods' exteriors to suggest the machines' Earth-shaking mass. That's pretty much the inventory of the film's "plus" column.

Rated: 2.5

Una película infravalorada, encuentro que los efectos 3D en los Trípodes son bastantes intimidantes hasta el efecto de sonido de los rayos láser me da repeluz, una animación estilo de películas animadas de DC Comics y mucha Acción estilo del videojuego Resistance, yo le daría una oportunidad a este film.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

The series is absolute shit. While offering a potential watchable show, none of them have ever handled weapons, fear for their lives or relied on another person for their lives. Had great potetnial but as usual fucked up by directors and producers who fear paid parking when in the real world. They royally fucked a great opportunity through their smurfminded end of the world. Useless cun$s

Animation looks like a storyboard or a ‘moving' comic book. I wouldn't blame them if there's a strict budget limitation. The character designs aren't groundbreaking or inspiring either. A typical anime-style looking human, mixed with 3d-rendered mechs. The slow build-up gives you an uneasy feeling and it lacks an enjoyment to watch. Feels like watching an final-year student project. It tries to demonstrate a mixture of comic book action storytelling and mid-level special effects. Good sounds though. A one word sum for this movie is Amateurish.

It's solid enough narratively but the subplot feels tacked on and detracts from the whole. Teddy Roosevelt being a utter badass has to be seen though.
