WORSE THAN WHAT PEOPLE SAID??? War of the Worlds Full Movie Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   With everyone hailing this new version as one of the WORST films EVER made, Greg & John are back to give their War of the Worlds Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis & Full Movie Spoiler Review!!

Step into a modern screenlife freak-out with War of the Worlds (2025), a bold—and deeply flawed—adaptation of H.G. Wells’ classic, reimagined through the lens of today’s screen-obsessed world. Directed by Rich Lee (screenlife visionary), the film stars Ice Cube (Friday, Ride Along) as Will Radford, a DHS cyber-threat expert whose dystopian measures include surveilling his own children. Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives, Harriet) plays his NASA friend, Dr. Sandra Salas. The cast also includes Clark Gregg (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) as DHS Director Donald Briggs, Iman Benson as Faith Radford, Henry Hunter Hall as hacker son Dave (aka “Disruptor”), Devon Bostick as Faith’s boyfriend & heroic Amazon Delivery Driver Mark, Andrea Savage as FBI agent Sheila, and Michael O'Neill as the Secretary of Defense. Set entirely on computer screens and video chats—a hallmark of the screenlife style—the film throws Will into chaos when alien tripods invade Earth and unleash insect-like creatures that feed on data. As glitches mount and his children’s lives hang in pixelated balance, Will uses his kid's hacking know-how and high-tech warfare, including Amazon delivery drones, in a bizarre bid to save humanity. With a rare 0% Rotten Tomatoes score, this new adaptation has soared to #2 on Prime Video’s top 10 list (then down to #4 as we were watching this lol) based on sheer word of mouth alone as critics & audiences alike boggle at its sloppy execution, product placement overload, and hollow sci-fi scaffolding. Join us as we break down the streaming anomaly: everything from its sci-fi themes of surveillance and data warfare, to its frame-by-frame disasters, cringe-worthy product tie-ins, and Ice Cube’s bizarre heroics in a technocratic alien apocalypse.
