This (I guess)big budget sci-fi epic (lots of crowd scenes, aerial footage etc) is a bit of a historical curiosity – although you do wonder if Fritz Lang had been watching it for both Metropolis and Woman in the Moon. The Martians, by the way, are white-garbed telepathic peaceloving vegetarians – no doubt with a lot to teach Europe in 1918.
