Don't even bother
Leeza18 January 2022
What a shame... was so looking forward to this.. the film was shocking! Acting was horrendous, CGI was rubbish... the whole entire film was a total letdown. There was hardly any action, and the storyline was stupid..... the worst film I have seen for ages!! Can't believe I paid to watch this!!! 😡 don't bother wasting your time... seriously!

No need to waste your time.
njweltz7 December 2021
Actors are so bad. The story thin as water. Can only be seen with the finger on the forward button.

It's very difficult to use 150 characters in this review because I only have sorry words left. There is absolutely nothing in this movie worth to see. Sorry.

This movie was so bad it gave me PTSD.

Don't waste your time or your brain cells. Bad scenes, bad acting, bad cinematography,

SUMMARY: Life is precious, don't spend a moment of it watching this drek.

I gave it 2 stars because it was in color.

Worst movie since "Anaconda"
nielshprosch20 December 2021
So bad! The acting is bad, the science is even worse and so on. How can anybody participate in such a truly horrendous movie? Yes, I know we have a pandemic!

It is - by far - the turkey movie of the year....

The title is the best thing with the move.

Bad actors. Unbelivable bad script and storyline.

Total wast of time... Turn of the sound and update Facebook while "watching" the movie!

Good job for bad actors
thiilborg3 December 2021
Like headline says, this production is just good for creating job for bad and worse actors.

In some parts it's so bad the viewer should be payed to continue.

One could settle for accepting low quality effects if it had had a good story or decent acting.

I hope Amazon wake up and put all this junk to the garbage bin.

The Comedy Version of the H G Wells Classic... I Think ?
Onerous1215 January 2023
Some out of work actors banded together to make a film. I think one of the "actors" has a relative who makes amateur gaming CGI in their parent's basement as a hobby between shifts as a food distribution executive (pizza delivery).

I will not be writing any spoilers in this review... I wish I could, but I'm still looking for an online explanation video to find out whether this was a comedy, romcom, or a wildlife documentary filmed in a farmyard ?

I think all those involved in making this, er... film, must've had great fun doing it... obviously, they were not taking it too seriously (as can be witnessed by the actors desperately trying not to laugh at their own scripts)

The absolute worst movie ever.

The actors are terrible, the plot is terrible.. If you have the slightest kind of knowledge, you will find it extremely annoying to see Soviet tanks from World War 2 in the film next to an M1 Abraham tank.. The soldiers in the film are wearing US flags each shoulder, however, it is reversed on the other. Everything is saved away. Costumes, Cgi EVERYTHING!

The best thing about the film is its presentation.. The title and the picture are clearly better and more exciting than the 2 hours long and hard hours the film takes.

If it could get minus 10 stars, it would have. Incomprehensibly a film similar to a Bollywood produced action film can be on Prime Video or even with Amazon in the back.

It's so bad that it's a must see.

The "science" part is just.. amazing!

The plot is thinner than water and the special effects, omg.. just watch it!!

Left wing movie making has reached the bottom.
jgesselberty-126 February 2023
The brief story line "Some say right-wing media has no bottom. But ALIENS! REALLY??! This can't be real." tells it all. This is some snowflake infused rant against the right from people who do not see how completely laughable they, themselves are. Bad in so many ways. Script is a warped rip-off of War of the Worlds but ignoring any of the qualities that Wells put into that work. It replaces thought provoking premise of an alien attack with endless dialogue of people just talking and sometimes yelling, at one another. The acting is on the level of a middle-school production. If only the aliens had arrived and conquered the film crew before this was made.

Hilarious!
maryatsec15 October 2023
I laughed all the way through this and then I laughed at the reviews! Mark Ruffalo's bit had me in tears by the end. I wish I would have seen it when it came out, I could have used a laugh in 2021. Regardless, it is eight minutes well spent. Don't be deterred by the "ratings" left by those completely missing the point or those failing to understand parody. This was hilarious from start to finish. It hits many of the far right talking points and if you have ever been to the websites this short is satirizing you might be hard pressed to distinguish the film from actual content found on several. Thank you to everyone involved in this production.

The main female characters constant chatter drove me mad from the beginning! We are supposed to believe that this woman and her brother saved the whole world single-handedly?!?! What a load of rubbish this film is. Don't waste your time on it!

Someone"s idea of a joke
bob_arruba10 March 2023
Wow..the worst. I hung in for bout 25 minutes. Actors could and should have been replaced by monkeys. The military general is a mess. He would be thrown out of any real military unit. The rest of the cast is laughable. Was hoping to see candy from two and a half men but could not take anymore. Aliens send only one ship even though someone said there was nine ships only one lands in a park and destroys everything after the stupid humans get close with weapons drawn. Saw only one alien come out the door for some reason? Now we got a forest fire going and our troops are scrambling for their lives. Turned it off really doubt if i missed much.

Turkey with a capital T!
post-877-54474611 September 2022
No character building.

So poor production value and low budget that nothing is ever shown on screens, yet they have incredibly accurate and instant data retrieval and analysis of data about everything that's happening in real time. And storywise it's so full of holes that it makes Swiss cheese look like a Gouda!

Also, what's this thing that every invasion from space will automatically target USA alone as if the US is the center of the world, and no other countries exists on this planet? Some hubris you got over there in Hollywood. :P

This movie is as bad as Asteroid and all the other D-movies that follow A-movie releases. ;)

UGH!!
rmurts4 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Aside from horrific acting and a plot that is really little more than a collection of words a bunch of monkeys managed to bang out on a keyboard, the idea that two astronomers are not only experts in their field, but also experts in virology and weapons-grade lasers. Even more amazing is that these astronomers reconfigured their mountain-top telescope to fire the lasers and destroy the alien ships - something none of the worlds' military could do. I want that telescope!

Like another person who posted about this movie, I kept my thumb on the fast-forward. While I didn't spend any money to watch this, I did lose about 45 minutes of my afternoon.

Possibly the worst movie ever made!
Tika152424 March 2024
Where do I begin? This is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen and I've seen a lot of movies. The acting is just awful and the special effects look like they were made by a 10 year old using an iPhone 2. The plot is even worse! The only way to get through it, I'm not sure why you would want to watch the entire movie, is to keep fast fowarding just to see the ending and save the rest of your day. It is honestly a shame how this movie absolutely destroys a classic story. The actors in this movie should all be on the unemployment line and the director should be forced to move out of the country.

I signed in just to write about how cr@p this movie is.
csmucpg28 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I didn't really care to remember the names of any of the characters so do go ahead and laugh when I say 'the lady' or whatever.

I probably should have seen it coming when I didn't see any major movie production companies at the start of the movie. But it just went downhill from there. About ten minutes in it was just talk, talk and bloody talk. I actually came on here to look at the reviews and... well. I guess that explains it. One and a half minutes and I only really watched about fifteen of it.

It looked like it was filmed in someone's back yard. The CGI was terrible and the story made no sense.

The characters that were introduced were somehow 'connected'? The lady in the hospital plays absolutely no part in the rest of the movie but wait.... THAT'S MY UNCLE?

There's that guy that drives the airliner into the alien tripod only to be shot down and eaten. The alien literally picks the guy up and eats him like a snickers bar! You can even hear the guts sound as if the lady in the shot was right next to him. Listening to that... mmm. Spaghetti.

My total highlight from the whole movie would probably have been at the end when the lady killed the alien with a spray bottle. A SPRAY BOTTLE!? I'm sad. Where's the action from the first movie? The blood and guts. Realistic shooting effects, Rockets??

I'm going to resound another users hubris here. Hollywood, why is it that only USA gets targeted by alien incursions and other disastrous events? There are other contries out there too ya know!?

Hilarious Parody of "Alternative" News People Promote on Social Media
jesse-budlong13 December 2021
Great cast! This definitely highlights the absurdity of right-wing QANON conspiracy theories that actual members of Congress believe. Like California wildfires were started by Jewish Space Lasers funded by George Soros.

Told through a series of Facebook feed videos originating from "Truth Seeker" type pages this short film highlights the vast amount of misinformation commonly fed to the public by right-wing media.

Incredibly poor show. Rubbish!!!
jakeyzee-988163 October 2023
This is not a professional film. Is created by students. Ultra low budget nonsense with very bad CGI extremely bad acting and it's not worth the time. I am finished with anything to do with war of the worlds after watching this film. The PlayStation 1 video game has more atmosphere than this does, nothing is believable the acting is terribly amateur, the special effects leave so much to be desired and the plot does not engage with the viewer. I still have 150 characters to go on this review so I will say rubbish rubbish rubbish nonsense rubbish Hunter garbage do not waste your time watching this film.
