5. Svengoolie has been showing carefully restored videos.

This one might might be better than the last version you saw.

For 50 years, from the late 1960s when The War of the Worlds 3-strip Technicolor prints were replaced by the easier-to-use and less expensive Eastman Color stock, the quality of the film's special effects suffered dramatically. This degraded the lighting, timing, and image resolution, causing the original invisible overhead wires suspending the Martian war machines to become increasingly visible with each succeeding film and video format change. This led many, including respected critics, to mistakenly believe the effects were originally of low quality. The original high quality of the 3-strip Technicolor special effects as seen in 1953 is now evident in the 2018 4K resolution restoration of the film, with the wires that suspend the Martian machines no longer obvious as in later prints.
