It's amazing. If you have Prime or can pirate it, I highly recommend it.
War of the Worlds really was that bad.
Is the movie so bad it's good, or is it just bad?
It's so bad it's laughable but not good. I do not regret watching it.
Spoilers: the aliens want our data and succeed. Now we have no data (because they somehow stole it all from everywhere rather than just copying it) and can't even contact one another because our contact info is all data and is all gone.
This is totally forgotten two scenes later and he is making calls again.
It was also sitting unreleased until Amazon bought it, so there are a ton of BAD product placements, in an intentional way out of frustration from having to do them. At least that is my head canon. Considering data mining is at the heart of the incomprehensible plot, they really seem to be telling Amazon to go fuck itself.
It's a giant Amazon ad that uses actual footage of real wars.
I haven't seen it myself, only highlights. As far as I could see it was neither extremely bad nor so bad that it was good. It went all the way to a third unspeakable category. The entire movie is basically a webcam footage of Ice Cube.
Rich Lee was robbed for worst actor. his delivery of the claim that amazon was not involved in the production at all was completely unconvincing
WotW director: “…We’re number one!”
Well deserved, congrats!
No! Ice cube! Get outta there!
Today wasn’t a good day.
