Is War of the Worlds (2025) The WORST Movie EVER? (Kinda...) | Ice Cube, Amazon

from Cinema Psychos Movie Reviews · host Brian Cottington, John Wooliscroft, Henry O'Brien

Is War of the Worlds (2025) the worst Film ever or is it simply a soulless film about our capitalist hellscape of an existence?  Ice Cube plays a surveillance psycho hacking his daughter's fridge while data-eating aliens invade Earth through Microsoft Teams. We watched War of the Worlds (2025) so you don't have to—this screenlife disaster is 90 minutes of PS2 CGI, shameless Amazon product placement, and a plot dumber that feels like it's written by AI. What we're covering:   Ice Cube as the villain dad we root for the aliens to vaporize "Disruptor" the hacker son and the Goliath surveillance conspiracy  Amazon drones + a $1,000 gift card literally saving humanity  Pandemic screenlife excuses (Unfriended was better, fight me)  Why this soulless capitalist hellscape accidentally captures 2025 perfectly  Is it "so bad it's good" or just evil? You decide.
