Watched the War Of The Worlds (2025 Ice Cube version). If you watch it as an adaptation of HG Wells' novel, it is awful. If you watch it as a comedy, however, it is brilliant. An entire movie that takes place on a laptop or phone screen with some of the worst CG I've seen this century in spite of a budget of $65m, bizarre plot turns, egregious product/brand placement, Ice Cube constantly looking at the screen with his mouth hanging open, some of the funniest death/fake death scenes you'll ever see, some utterly wild editing and camera zooms. I am not joking one bit when I say I honestly haven't laughed at a movie like I did with this in a long time. I implore everyone to watch it.
