On Amazon now..apparently filmed during Covid, and you can tell, but shelved until now. It’s like a long Amazon commercial, and stars ICE CUBE as a genius national security agent. It’s laugh out loud terrible.
This “new” War of the Worlds movie is TERRIBLE

I know I'll get roasted but I really liked the Tammy C version.
It was like Signs but better. Both leads are nuts but Mel is odious, Tom is just crazy.

I like the Tom C version, too.
I think that may have been the last movie of his I’ve seen.

I lasted 16 minutes with this new version. What a load of crap.
I too liked Cruise's version. That first act was a killer-diller.

How dumb do you have to be to be told to get away from a menacing alien?

Another vote for the Steven Spielberg version with Tom Cruz

I was going to watch it until I checked the film’s IMDB rating which is 3.5. The reviews are brutal.

Cruise's "War of the Worlds" started very strong, was good for 2/3 of its running time and ended with a preposterous whimper.

I love how Hollywood always has female scientists played by hot chicks with big tits. IRL female scientists look like Linda Hunt.

Although I’m not a Tammy fan, I did like the movie. She tends to overact. And I hated that stupid little girl Rachel character. Such a brat.

im watching it now, I hadn't seen they had remade this ("AGAIN?" , i thought). The opening was so slow with the stupid backstory and I grew annoyed at the constant use of the monitors. Then I read that it was a narrative device called screenlife. Still not a fan.
The action does pick up in the last 20 mins for so. But I can see why the reviews are less than stellar.
I can't wait to see the Cinema Sins take on this!

Agreed, R2. I thought the Cruise version was great.

The first 40 or 50 minutes of the Spielberg/Cruise WAR OF THE WORLDS are the best ‘50s sci-fi movie ever made, just a definitive Aliens Invade Earth scenario. But despite terrific moments after that, it loses energy and momentum and just becomes tiring.
But I will always remember the sound those ships made — the rumbling, shrieking roar is terrifying.
