"Described by Amazon as a bold, contemporary reimagining of H.G. Wells' classic novel, the movie stars Ice Cube and Eva Longoria."
"Taking inspiration from the claustrophobic atmosphere of the Covid-19 lockdowns, it takes place almost entirely via the webcam of a surveillance expert played by Ice Cube."
"At the time of writing, the movie had a score of 4% on Rotten Tomatoes and 2 out of 5 on Amazon Prime Video."
"The film appears to be full of off-the-shelf stock footage presented as security camera or social media videos."
Amazon Prime Video's remake of War of the Worlds, starring Ice Cube and Eva Longoria, is criticized for its poor acting and low-budget visuals. The film, set against the backdrop of Covid-19 lockdowns, features a premise that revolves around a surveillance expert using a webcam. Despite attempts at satire and innovative presentation, it generally fails to engage audiences, reflected in its dismal ratings of 4% on Rotten Tomatoes and 2 out of 5 on Amazon Prime Video. The film heavily utilizes stock footage, detracting from its overall quality.
