The concept isn’t bad as such. But I’m not surprised at all that they botched it as it’s not easy at all to pull off.
Disclaimer: I didn’t see it.Citizen Kane has nothing on Ice cube yelling “got em!” At a computer screen.
Also you can see the green screen reflected on his glasses the whole time
THERE’S LIKE ZERO HINTS ON WHAT MOVIE THESE REVIEWS ARE OF YET EVERYONE HERE INHERENTLY KNOWS WHAT MOVIE IT IS AND I’M JUST SITTING HERE OBLIVIOUS OH GOD
“Ice Cube clicks button” is pretty big hint tbf
This should help, also save you some time https://youtu.be/2fhLdREPEF4
Incredible video lol. Now I don’t have to watch the movie.
Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill.
Yeah they call it Crashed Ice, they play it in Quebec, it’s pretty gnarly.
“War of the Worlds” 2025
My first fucking thought was was “yeah, how about no, I’m in fucking zoom calls all fucking day at work.” I give them credit, interesting idea as a high concept thing, but like no chance I’m even giving this 10 minutes even if the reviews weren’t utter shit.
I hate the fact that this movie causes people to make fun of the genre and think it’s bad in general. Searching is an amazing movie and I love it, and it also has its entire plot on a computer screen. But it actually works, if you have a skilled director, great actors, a really good plot, and know how to exactly use that concept to make a great movie.
I watched this movie for less than 10 minutes out of curiosity. Towards the end of that short time, I was thinking, “When will the scene change? This computer bit seems to be going on a bit long…” Luckily something came up, I got distracted and never finished the movie. Later I find out via memes that was the entire movie 🥴
I think this movie is just a convoluted ploy to promote Prime Air
Nice, 2.6 on IMDb https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13186306/
And 3% on rotten tomatoes https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/war_of_the_worlds_2025
And semi off topic: No, Phil Coulson how could you do this to yourself? You are the embodiment of SHIELD!

aw, it was headed for a rare 0% rating til Jordan Hoffman from Entertainment Weekly had to ruin it…
I knew exactly which movie was based on these reviews.
The 5 stars review is ironic
Evan L is obviously taking the piss.
The setup of this movie reminds me of Locke with Tom Hardy. That’s also basically a movie where you watch 1 person in a static situation (in a car in Locke) conducting remote project management. I’d have never expected a full movie to work with that setup, but Locke pulls it off imo.
Don’t forget Phone Booth! It’s Colin Farrell in a phone booth!!
Also kinda similar is Buried with Ryan Reynolds. Just him in a box the whole movie.
There was a whole movie with a guy in a box hoping to be unearthed (Buried, or something like that). It was quite decent.
I remember watching Fail Safe by chance and that movie was so fucking tense! Completely carried by the amazing cast. Maybe I should watch it again!
It’s about a cold war situation where iirc the USA bomb a city in Russia by accident and the movie / play is about how the two presidents negotiate to avoid all out nuclear war. Fantastic stuff.
Bottle Episode: The Movie
“war of the worlds 2025 featuring ice cube” is simply an insane combination of words to me
I’d like to say it was written by Chat GPT but I don’t wanna insult some innocent LLM.
