I enjoyed this miniseries very much and think many of the reviews have judged this production a bit too harshly. After all, we're not talking about a Kubrick or Scorsese opus here. It's not intended to be "Gone With the Wind" or "Battleship Potemkin". It's just an updated "Monster Movie" (as we used to call them when I was a kid). The writing and acting are reasonably adequate, and the production qualities are a refreshing update from previous film versions of Wyndham's great book. While it seems to have been made targeting pre-adolescents and certainly isn't a cinematic masterpiece, if you want a modern "B" Sci-Fi movie to watch on a rainy afternoon, you can find many far worse than this.
