Seattle, WA, USA (July 12, 2013) -- Vimeo is the major competitor to Youtube and has always attracted those who want higher quality streaming. Now you can watch On Demand movies of quality like War Of The Worlds The True Story. You sign up for free and movies are rented on an individual basis.
You can also watch War Of The Worlds The True Story, keynote film at the 38th Boston Science Fiction Festival and played in select theaters across the US, directly on the official website http://www.waroftheworldsthetruestory.com/ondemand.html through Distrify, the exclusive platform chosen by director Terry Gilliam, (Time Bandits, Brazil, The Fisher King, 12 Monkeys, Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas), to premiere his new award-winning film The Wholly Family.
War Of The Worlds The True Story assumes we live in a world where H. G. Wells' first ever novel of alien invasion actually took place and is presented as a War Documentary with the principle character reminiscing his experiences surviving under the tyranny and destruction of the Martian invaders.
Critics have been giving War Of The Worlds the True Story a thumps up with Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times commenting, "War of the Worlds The True Story is clever like Wells. Hugely inventive and ambitious - truly impressive." Frank Scheck, critic of The Hollywood Reporter lauded the visual artistry, "Editor Hines weaves the various styles of footage together in expert fashion."
Ain't It Cool News critic Ambush Bug raved, "The best film I had the privilege of seeing this week was WAR OF THE WORLDS: THE TRUE STORY." With glowing praise, he went on to say things such as, "Even the sci fi effects feel authentic with all of the shaky and grainy camerawork. I especially loved watching the attacks of both the aliens and the giant machines which have a SKY CAPTAIN & THE WORLD OF TOMORROW look to them. Everything is treated with a serious and dire tone and there's even a touching love story in the middle of it all as well to add an extra bit of depth that, coming from the narrator's POV, will definitely make your heart swell." He then summed it up by saying, "WAR OF THE WORLDS: THE TRUE STORY is one of the coolest little films I've come across in quite a while. As if the Orson Welles radio broadcast wasn't mythic enough, along comes this mock-doc to add a whole new layer of intrigue to H.G. Wells' fascinating story. Highly recommended to those who love revisionist history, alien invasion films, and thrilling real life documentaries."
Dave Reneke of ASTRO SPACE NEWS Australia's #1 Astronomy News Service, praised the movie with, "I didn't know what to expect when I loaded in the DVD and sat back. I was hoping for the suspense and excitement of the original George Pal 1953 classic again, the feeling I remembered as a kid, but I prepped myself for possible disappointment. I felt nothing could bring that back!
Within moments my fears were gone, I turned up the volume a little more as the story unfolded into a fast paced recreation of the ultimate invasion by ten story high, three-legged Martian war machines, all told using stock footage, cutting edge visual effects and old film clips in a clever retrospective style interview. I was hooked!" He concluded his review with, "You're asked to suspend disbelief and that's easy to do because the production is so good. I loved this movie...it's the ultimate 'what if?' movie...Buy it, watch it, and relive the classic. You won't be sorry!"
And Shawn Francis critic at You Won Cannes said, "Ever since the 1953 movie adaptation of War Of The Worlds there have been numerous other translations of Wells' novel, even a 1988 short lived TV series, but of all the ones I have seen the only two-yes, only two-I find worthy of repeated viewings is the '53 film and this new 2013 docudrama."
As well as the Vimeo and Distrify streaming, War Of The Worlds the True Story is available on DVD with extras exclusively through http://www.thewaroftheworldsmovie.net. The movie will be coming to Amazon at the end of July.
