War of the Worlds: Goliath

Starring: Beau Billingslea (voice), Jim Byrnes (voice), Tony Eusoff (voice), et al.

In a parallel universe, World War One is imminent as we follow the gripping story of human resistance fighters who march to battle against the second invasion of the Martians. In 1899, the Earth was attacked by ruthless invaders from the planet Mars. The Martians' 80 ft tall, heat-ray spewing, Tripod battle machines laid waste to the planet, but the invaders ultimately fell prey to Earth's tiny bacteria. Fifteen years later, Man has rebuilt his shattered world, in large part by utilizing captured Martian technology. Equipped with giant, steam-powered Tripod battle machines, the international rapid reaction force, is Mankind's first line of defense against the return of the rapacious Martian invaders. And return the Martians do. The rematch finds the multinational battle squad tripod "Goliath" on the front-lines of a vicious interplanetary offensive.

Customer Reviews

Victorian + Steampunk + American History

Start out saying I bought is by mistake; however, it was the most diverting fun mistake i have made recently. I enjoy watching the 1950's B Sci-Fi films like "Them", "The Beast from 20,000 Leagues, and "War of the Worlds". This reminded me of them. It is modern, but "campy". Though the video is formatted for older teens & adults (without the blood and guts); in my opinion middle school age can also watch. It includes references to historical and literary characters, such as Teddy Roosevelt and H.G. Well's "War Of The Worlds". Uncertain whether others in the series; but would be interested to finding out. The final ending left me with the impression there was.
