A Century of Covers of The War of the Worlds

Has anyone seen the film War of the Worlds Goliath ? It's an animated film done in the an almost anime style. It's a sequel to War of the Worlds . It takes place about 15 years afterward, The world has rebuilt ,Nicola Tesla and other scientists have reverse engineered Martian Tech, so we now have our own Walker Battle machines with heat rays, Flying Air Battleships, higher planes. it's a very cool steampunk world. In the story, The Martians, with new and improved war machines come back for another go Earth.(y)
 
:whistle: I defer to you, Tom Hering; memory is far from infallible. The thing that seemed memorable, was the idea that so obvious a machine (as in the simple machines) did not occur to the Martians. My copy was on a COREL classic literature CD, along with FRANKENSTEIN, which was an earlier version/edition than the one used in literature class. I had no idea such thing existed. Anyway, my bad, as I doubt WOTW was also an early edition.

No, but I want to. I saw a trailer for it somewhere and I've always wanted to try it.
 
If I remember rightly, there's something about the walkers having artificial muscles. Perhaps they are biomechanical. I would have liked to see H.R. Giger's take on it.
 
REF: Vertigo.
I just want to point out that the word romance in this context is correct.
Long before the term Science Fiction was invented the novels of H.G.Wells , Jules Verne and others were called Scientific Romances.
 
Yes, it's unusual that it wasn't called 'a fantasy'. "Romance' must have been the buzzword that sold best in them there days.
 
Having now been inspired to look it up (thanks @BigBadBob141 :)), one of the meanings of 'romance' is: "A mysterious or fascinating quality or appeal, as of something adventurous, heroic, or strangely beautiful" or "a quality or feeling of mystery, excitement, and remoteness from everyday life" which are actually a strangely apposite definitions for a word used in description of science fiction.
