Because it's shit, that's why, and yes, I watched it.
-
Surely it can't be worse than Borderlands to name a recent piece of rubbish I saw, currently sat at 10% on rotten tomatoes
-
There is apparently an action scene in which ice cube needs a thumb drive, so orders one via Amazon drone delivery. The drone goes down in all the chaos, and our characters have to barter with the homeless man who found the downed drone by offering him Amazon gift cards. The man is a conspiracy nut who thinks the government is tracking him, but a $1000 Amazon gift cards convinces him to risk his life for the characters.
So yes, it is worse than Borderlands.

Borderlands is Oscar material compared to this thing. I watched it thinking it couldn’t be that bad and it was worse than I thought an amateur movie could be.
-
oh borderlands was a masterpiece compared to this.

-
This movie could have been an email.
-
It could have been a pop-up ad.
-
It is a pop-up ad. Just movie length.
-
-
This movie should have stayed a trailer
-

This is my favorite critic's review on Rotten Tomatoes.
-
I mean they got ice cube, I can’t imagine them wanting to make a good movie.
-
I didn’t even know this movie existed until a couple of days ago when it hit digital release. Then I wondered how a War of The Worlds movie can possibly fly under my radar. Then I saw it was Ice Cube, and that made me go hmm for sure. THEN I saw the ratings.

I didn't even know this movie existed until I entered this thread.
-
But it isn't a war of the worlds movie. Just shares a name. Or the the description of the movie is o bad. Isn't he looking for his daughter.
-
I had not heard of this either, but what is it about Ice Cube? I haven't seen him in a movie in a long time, Friday era, I don't remember him being bad in that (or earlier films), no good now?
-
I wonder if the episode of The Studio featuring Ice Cube was self-aware commentary on this movie. In that episode he stars in a Kool-Aid movie.

Lol is this the movie that Linus Sebastian got cut from? They did him a favour.
-
Shame. The original story is a classic (deservedly so) and has SO MUCH potential.
-
That seems to be the story with 90% of Amazon's content attempts. Technically it may have been Universal Studios, but let's be honest, it's clear Amazon was in charge given the intense product placement embedded in the screenplay.
-
What's the original story? This isn't war of the worlds the invasion at least from the description I've read seems to just be using the same title.

It was so fucking bad. Me and the wife shut it off half way through.
-
How did you get that far? The wife and I lasted about 5 minutes.
-
Well we didn’t realize it was going to be him sitting in the chair with that annoying UI the entire movie. We kept being like “OH HES GONNA GET UP” or “OH HIS DAUGHTER IS DYING OUTSIDE HE HAS TO GET UP AND SAVE HER” and then he got up and we were like “OH SHIT THE MOVIE IS GONNA START” but he was locked in the room and he went and sat back down. It was funny but horrible too.

It was terrible.

I saw the Pitch Meeting for this that gave away the entire story. It was just so bad.
