War of the Worlds

They suckered me in with big names: Ice Cube, Clark Gregg and Michael O'Neill.

I'm sorry but Ice Cube is not believable as NSA and neither is Eva Longoria believable as NASA.

The daughter is meant to be incredibly smart as a biologist but she's kinda stupid. I guess you can forgive her as even the most intelligent people can be dumb when panicked.

The dialogue is so basic and almost juvenile. The film seems rushed, they figured out how to save the day too easily.

The Tripods were the only thing I didn't hate.

I always thought that the second Independence Day movie would be the worst movie I ever saw, I was wrong.

This makes it look like The Godfather The plot is so weak, you could drive a coach and horses through the plot holes The best bit however is when it turns into an advert for Amazon when they introduce Prime Drone delivery where the hero needs to buy something from prime to allow it to work.

I can only believe that Ice Cube and Eva Longoria had tax bills they needed to fund to sign up for this nonsense.

I've watched this so you don't have to, you all owe me.

This was comically bad. Some of the worst acting across the board, paired with an incredibly uninspired script filled with dated and predictable tropes. Even the CGI looked low quality and cheap. Considering there was virtually no press or advertising for this film, it is clear even the producers knew it would be a total flop. I truly do not understand why this rendition was made. It adds nothing to the original and does not continue the storyline. It feels like the Kidz Bop version of an alien movie. The best actors in the film were the aliens. I would rather listen to the loud screeching sound they make for 90 minutes than sit through this joke of a film again.

This movie is a complete waste of cinematic resources! Ice Cube is ridiculous as 'Mr Everything'! The story line development is completely obstructed by all the 'family drama' from Ice's character. I'd have quit watching it were it not for it being 105 degrees outside. The writers of this must be about 15 years old! Basically just a poorly written and directed movie!!

Inexplicable non-stop use of split screen with online conference software app like Zoom and Teams, with close ups of the apps themselves, and their annoying sounds and menus.

Meanwhile half the screen for most of the time we get Ice Cube's face and terrible acting making us wish for the Microsoft Teams menu to be shown up close again.

The government security expert doesn't seem very well trained, using his work computer to video call every Tom, Dick and Harry that he knows throughout the day, and therefore too busy so can only send text messages to the people he actually works with.

I had to switch off because I could not stand it any longer.
