'War of The Worlds' was released on Prime with a historic 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Many movie goers claim that this movie is one of the most WOKE product placement filled films to ever be created and even going as far to claim that this entire movie was created to promote Amazon.

The complaints might appear to drastic until one watches this film, it is undoubtedly the worst depiction of the HG Wells classic.


I'm sure Amazon will survive but if they keep hiring the fools that made this, it's going to get harder and harder to stay in business.

49 second clip is all you need to watch. Its terrible.

Got to love the product placement.....

Was pretty drunk one night and had it on in the background.

Imagine a whole movie was filmed with the actors being in a Teams call. Thats the movie.

If not for TexAgs, I would have never even heard of this. Did they even promote it? This sounds so dumb.

I feel like I'm fairly well plugged into media releases but but this is the first time I've heard of this movie.

There's a poster over there that just gushes over anything woke. He praised the movie Sinners like it was Citizen Kane. When it in reality it was just "From Dusk Till Dawn" with black people.

It's just a really bad advertisement disguised as a film.

But I don't see where it's woke???

I watched the first half and it didn't feel particularly woke for any reason. But it was extremely boring. So there's that.

There's a thread there. Pretty universally negative on this one. F13 can be blue-haired screechy at times, but this is not one of those times.

I started the thread over there a few days ago. And to be honest its not so much "woke" as it is just a horrible movie all around. Anything woke in it would barely scratch the surface of just how terrible it is.

The only way that 49 second clip could have been better is if Cube had a pic in his hair, an NWA t-shirt on, and said listen up mother ****** this is a mother ***in' top secret military ****in base, you punkass mother ****er

This has the potential to be an amazing MST3K episode.

Just wait until you see what Amazon does to the James Bond franchise.

Let me guess. New James Bond will be a black lesbian with a nose ring. Book it.

(Excuse me as I post some images whilst strolling down memory lane)

I watched this version over and over and over again as a kid enthralled.


I owned the tape cassette recording of Orson Welles 1938 broadcast, which I frequently listened to with as much interest as any movie. My father who grew up an hour away from Grovers Mill would further recall to my attentive ears the response of people who believed the invasion was real.


The Watermill Classic edition was the first adult book I owned having bought it at a book fair in 1st or 2nd grade.


I wouldn't actually read it until I was in high school.


So, when I watched Spielberg's version and this scene

It was a long time coming and I was a kid in a candy story, smiling ear to ear.

And it remains one of my favorite movies despite the criticism.

Here's the trailer on Amazon.com. Nothing about it makes me want to watch it nor does it look like anything close to the H.G. Wells plotline/story.

I remember when the Tom Cruise version came out, went to watch on Friday night about 9pm. Some poor idiot had his 5 yo son (approximate) at the late show. When we walked out that night, heat lightening was filling the sky. That kid started screaming, they're her Daddy, they're here. Crying like someone who thought he was going do die. I laughed.

Woke has become the newest catch word for a certain age demographic.

The way you can see the green screen reflection in his glasses so many times and how he is a poor reader that is simply reading a script makes me wonder how this was ever put together even if cheaply done. Oh and cmon amazon... you can't just shove amazon prime and amazon air down our throats as part of the "movie" it was such blatant and bad product placement that it might have been as bad as the script reading

Saw the icon when I logged into Prime Video the other day. Laughed at the idea of how bad Hollywood is, always with the remakes, and moved on.

No surprise that it sucks.

Waiting for their War of the Worlds 2 sequel where they have a character that slowly changes how he says "oh my god" to "Amazon" and this explains why that's the only word he can say.

Well...."woke", "boring", and "bad" are all interchangeable words when talking about entertainment.

It finally dawned on me that Independence Day was a rough remake of WotW.
