War of the Worlds

"This movie is an insult to H.G. Wells and every other version of War of the Worlds that has ever existed. The initial premise of everything being viewed through a computer monitor was interesting for about 2 seconds. Then the plot holes started and never stopped coming. Don't waste your time, like I did. 1/10"

"Terrible. Bye Felicia."

"1/5 ⭐️I went into War of the Worlds with an open mind, determined to stay positive despite the internet’s pile-on, with some YouTubers calling it the worst film ever made. Let’s be clear: it’s not that bad. Is it a terrible film? Yeah, definitely. The worst I’ve ever seen? Not even close. For me, it’s a "bad good" movie—flawed but still entertaining from start to finish. Ice Cube is both a gift and a curse for this film. His acting is rough, and the shaky production doesn’t help, but somehow his presence still works in a weird way. It’s hard to explain—he’s bad, but kinda good? He’s got the same confused expression for everything, whether he’s yelling at his son or staring at a giant alien on a screen for the first time. You’d think an alien invasion would spark some shock or intensity, but nope, just Ice Cube looking mildly puzzled. Zero emotional range. Then there’s the glasses shtick: every time he wants to get serious, off come the shades. Need a closer look? Off they go. Angry? Glasses get tossed. It’s so repetitive it’s unintentionally hilarious. I lost it when he yelled, “Move Bitch, Get Out the Way,” quoting Ludacris’ iconic 2001 track. It’s such a random moment, but I was dying laughing. The plot’s as messy as the acting, and the production feels slapped together. Turns out, this was filmed during the pandemic, which explains the low-budget vibe. But why did Amazon sit on it for so long? If it had dropped back then, it might’ve been ignored. Instead, Ice Cube’s star power has everyone dunking on it. The relentless Amazon product placement doesn’t help—take a shot every time you hear “Amazon” or Ice Cube’s “Hell naw,” and you’ll be out cold by the credits. Still, I had fun. If you’re nitpicking every frame, you’ll hate it. But if you can lean into the absurdity, it’s not a total loss. A 0% on Rotten Tomatoes feels harsh—this movie’s a mess, but it’s a fun mess. "

"My oh my whomever directed this movie should never direct again "

"I was laughing because of how terrible certain parts were I mean I think this is the greatest Amazon commercial I have ever watched "

"The movie is lacking... lacking movements! Like doomsday day but we only see 2 people run for few seconds.. rest is all typing and screens. 2.5 stars for acting though and ice cube. Enjoy! #prime #movies #moviesrecommendations #scifi #2025movies "

" I watched the movie to see how bad it was, but it isn't as bad as people claimed. The only positive thing was the robots, but everything wasn't great. The story kept changing, trying to add a twist, but it kept giving more plot holes. The acting was bad due to a bad script, except for Ice Cube. The concept seemed interesting on the computer for the first 10 minutes, but I just got annoyed. The film isn't worth the time, but if you're interested in how bad it is, I would recommend watching it."

"Taking heavy inspiration from Searching. However since it’s a familiar story (there’s endless War of the worlds media out there) it wasn’t nearly as interesting."

"laziest movie ever, he just sits in front of a computer screen the whole time 3/5"

"This movie is so ridiculous. There’s so many plot holes and just terrible writing all in all. Could have been a cool concept for a movie if they didn’t take from an already great plot of an already great movie, War of the Worlds. Despite the low star review, it’s always hard for me to dislike alien movies, that being said, I liked watching it and just didn’t take it seriously!"
