Didn't realize this was a mini series because I watched it on Tubi but oh my word this goes SO slow with a lot of extra fluff added in that is not necessary for the plot. I can't see how anyone will care about the daughter's ballet career or half the other stuff written into this plot to make it longer. I forwarded through a lot of it to get to the meat. Not sure how to wrap this up except to say I'd pass if I were you.
I literally gasped when I came on here (to write a review) when I saw how low of a score this movie had. I am NOT of fan of this genre of movie - but I was pulled in from the start and basically stayed pulled in until things got crazy unbelievable - but who wouldn't expect that with this genre? Ice Cube seemed very genuine in his role as a caring, overprotective parent - and that is what kept me in the movie. Yes there were some unbelievable parts. But you already knew what you signed up for when you decided to watch a movie called "War of the Worlds." I was entertained (which is uncommon for me - I'm pretty picky with movies).
I have no problem watching a "made for tv" movie, knowing the acting will be sub-par. However, the music in this one kills it for me. Way too much music, too loud, not in the right parts. Like you can't even focus on the plot or storyline because of the music. 90% of the movie contains music; no exaggeration. Why do low budget movies feel like they have to compensate with music? It said it's inspired by a true story, that's what made me want to watch it. I wonder how much of it is really true. Who knows. I'm just typing the needed characters to post this review and alert people about the MUSIC. Do not recommend.
