The imagination of Science Fiction allows us infinite possibilities, bringing with it compelling, thought-driven characters in search of far-reaching goals in completely alien environments. While many might associate such scenarios with the likes of Inception and Mass Effect, the times of Sci-Fi date back much further.
In 1898, H.G.Wells published The War of the Worlds which, at the time, was a ground-breaking piece and one of the first to deal with mankind’s conflict with an alien race. Since then, it’s been made into a radio drama, had several films made about it, numerous comic book adaptations and even has its own touring theatrical production.
Now, with Other Ocean at the helm, Wells’ classic has been converted into a platforming action/adventure, with full narration from Sir Patrick Stewart.
Is the subject matter still as enticing and relevant over 110 years since its initial publication?
