Negative Positive
Title: REREAD the novel instead... seriously.
Review: Yes, I truly wanted THIS version to be worthy of praise (Wells and his book surely deserve a great rendering) but, it is not. Do not waste your time trying to pick out a few positives amidst this hopeless mess of amateurish film making. Earnest efforts and good intentions cannot replace the skills that are required to cause one to suspend disbelief and become immersed in a story.
