WAR OF THE WORLDS Trailer

[Dannyalcatraz]

I’ve seen some bad movies. On purpose, even.

The Creeping Terror.
The Room.
Funny Games (both versions).

This may be in the running to join them.

So, I thought about watching this initially, but then it was getting reviewed so badly I decided not to.

I did see a clip that I’m guessing is all I need to see.

Spoiler

Ice cube needs a thumb drive from a file. So an Amazon guy says he can send it via drone to his location. For some reason though the Amazon guy makes cube place an actual Amazon thumb drive order before sending it over. This is, of course while the planet is being wasted by aliens…

Spoiler

my read of the reviews is that the movie is a set up for an amazon prime commercial

Sounds like it which is why I’m glad I passed on it.

It seems that my comment about it being a "work from home alien invasion" were more right than I thought. It went in the can in late 2020 and then sat on a shelf until now.

Yes, the entire film is the main character sitting at his computer and interacting with surveillance cams, news footage, and video calls. It’s quite bizarre.

That's the whole movie. It's him sitting in front of his computer doing hacking and surveillance and talking to people.

To be entirely fair, this was pretty much what Searching was with John Cho and that film slapped.

Teamviewer.

On a "government security expert's" computer.

Is 'slapped' good or bad?
