War of the Worlds, adapted from H.G. Wells's novel, is set entirely on William Radford's computer screen. Radford, played by Ice Cube, is a domestic-terror analyst and struggles to connect with his children after the death of his wife. He uses surveillance technology to monitor them, including hacking into their devices for parenting. The film presents a strange and bizarre narrative that combines sci-fi action with a father’s emotional challenges, illustrating themes of love and technology in familial relationships.
"War of the Worlds is set entirely on William Radford's computer screen, where he hacks into his children's devices in an attempt to connect with them after his wife's death."
"Most of what War of the Worlds seems to argue is that the best thing the government can do with its surveillance technology is use it to love adult children better."
