I wouldn't mind seeing a version hold true to the book. Be set in the late 1800s in England.

Biggest thing that bugs me about both versions.....all that advanced technology and higher intelligence.....and didn't know about or prevent exposure to germs?

Now do Signs. That must have been a Hold My Beer moment for whatever alien made the decision to come to Earth.

H20 kills us, but....Hey! let's visit this world where water is 70% of the planet's surface and about 60% of the highest life forms mass. It will probably be fine!

Still like the movie though.

add in that the aliens are running around naked. All they needed was to wear rain gear.

george Lucas told Princess Leia there's no bras in space! They just took it one step further!

Yep. I can't believe that Eva Longoria agreed to be in it.

someone posted it has gotten a 0% rating on RT

when I was growing up in Austin there was a tape series in cassette players about War of the Worlds

with a British narrator and crazy music from like Pink Floyd

Looks that way. Makes for a terrible movie, but Jeff Bezos pants are probably doing this when he sees all the ads built in

I'm thinking this is what you're remembering. I remember that too.

Well, he designed it after what's in his pants and then literally faked the climax of its journey with an all female crew.

Totally apropos.

Except the fedex angle was essential to the plot.

I've heard it's one big Microsoft Teams meeting.

Imagine working in Teams all day, get off work and you want to watch a movie….which happens to be in Teams. Bonus: the people in the movie are less likable than your coworkers!

I just read that this movie was made during Covid.

So did he have to use his AK?

Yeah, there's a way to do the social distancing aspect where it's interesting. Instead, this is a combination of the worst of the found footage genre with a terrible Zoom call.

I figured the EB would be circle jerking about how great this movie was. Has hell frozen over?!

This movie doesn't deserve an official thread. So consider this a warning instead.

Its garbage. I'd say hot garbage even but that would be disrespecting other hot garbage out there. And I'm pretty sure some random Joe with AI could have made a better movie than this.

I really don't understand how they cancel decent shows yet still spend money on crap like this.

---

We can have this pile of garbage, but no Mindhunter???

I watched the Tom Cruise version last night for the first time since 2005 when it was in theaters. I remember thinking it was decent but nothing special and I feel the same way after the second viewing. The kids ruined the movie. I know Spielberg has a history of females screaming in his movies, but Dakota Fanning is over the top with her constant squealing. I feel like the movie could have been great, but the kids, Tim Robbins and even Tom Cruise, whom I usually love were meh characters.

Put this on out of curiosity because of how bad it supposedly was…and it might be worse.

It would have taken serious effort to make this more coincidental and unrealistic than it already was. It's almost worth a watch to be amazed that this actually got made.

How does this compare to Battlefield Earth?
