A Million to One

 I chanced to be in London last week with a few hours on my hands. And so, a friend and I went to the "Jeff Wayne's The War of The Worlds: The Immersive Experience", as you do. This is, roughly speaking, a retelling of the story along with Jeff Wayne's music (of course), with a number of actors playing various characters in the story along the way. And there were also some sections where we wore VR headsets and watched cutscenes of some parts.

And it was fine. Truth be told, a lot of the experience is somewhat dated now, most especially the VR components (which are early 2000s level of animation, if that). But it was all good fun, and anyway it was more about the experience than anything else.

Anyway, the upshot is that I don’t regret going… but I wouldn’t go again. Once was enough. Which, in fairness, is a universal reaction to alien invasions, I think.
