Could you tell me who produced and released this? It sounds like something I want, but I may need that info if I have to hunt it down.

I picked up a copy earlier today. Found it at Wal-Mart at a very good price, just as you promisesd. I've only had a chance to spot check it, but you're right... the FX work is a disappointment. So is the production design and the direction. There was no need for this film to be three hours long. Each scene I looked at dragged. On the plus side, the plot does seem to follow Wells' novel pretty closely. I'll watch the whole thing tomorrow, but I expect it to be a pretty long haul. It's hard to believe Pendragon Pictures ever seriously considered this for theatrical release.
