Listen to me very carefully. Put down the remote. Step away from the Prime Video app. If you value your sanity, do not I repeat, DO NOT WATCH War of the Worlds (2025). This movie is not just bad; it is a crime against humanity. It is a dent in your grey matter so deep you could park a UFO in it.

Hollywood Thinks We Are Stupid (Confirmed)

First of all, what were they smoking? The year is 2025, technology is advanced, and Hollywood decides to sell us a story where 👽aliens travel light-years across the galaxy not for water, not for resources, not to enslave us... but for our DATA. Yes, you heard that right. Data.

Apparently, these high-tech👽 E.T.s are starving for your shopping history and your Instagram reels. They didn’t come to kill us; they came to steal our cookies and cache files. Are you serious, yaar? Imagine an 👽alien invading Earth and screaming, "Take me to your Server Room!" It is so incredibly dumb that I wanted to throw my TV out the window. Matlab kuch bhi?

Grandpa Ice Cube vs. The Wi-Fi

Then we have the "hero," Ice Cube. Remember when he was the toughest guy in N.W.A.? Well, now he is playing a grumpy Dadaji sitting in his home office, staring at a webcam. The entire movie is a "Screenlife" film—meaning you just watch computer screens the whole time. It looks like a 90-minute Zoom meeting that could have been an email.

Ice Cube sits there, frowning at his monitor, shouting at files, and "hacking" the aliens. He literally saves the world while sitting in his pajamas. Bhai, uth ja kursi se! (Brother, get up from the chair!). He is supposed to be this super-agent, but he looks like your uncle trying to figure out how to unmute himself on a WhatsApp video call. At one point he is fighting an alien invasion by typing furiously. Click-click-click, boom, aliens 👽defeated. Waah, kya scene hai!

Sponsored by Bezos (Obviously)

And let’s talk about the real villain, Amazon. This movie is basically a 1.5-hour commercial for Prime. There is a scene, I kid you not, where a crucial flash drive to save the world is delivered by an Amazon delivery drone. The world is ending, cities are burning, but Amazon Prime delivery is still on time! Gazab bejjati hai. They really think we are such chomus (idiots) that we won’t notice the blatant product placement? The 👽aliens are probably just mad because their Prime subscription expired.

The "Data" Nonsense

The scriptwriters clearly have zero clue what "data" is. The 👽 aliens are "eating" the data. How do you eat a JPEG? Does a PDF taste like chicken? They treat data like it’s petrol. It is so painful to watch. Ice Cube’s character is spying on his own kids to "protect" them, which is just creepy, not heroic. He is tracking their heart rates and reading their texts like a toxic ex-boyfriend. Sudhar jao Hollywood.

I watched this till the end only because I hate myself. It is a train wreck. It is a dumpster fire inside a sinking ship. The dialogue is cringe, the acting is lazy, and the plot makes Sharknado look like a documentary.

If you want to punish yourself, go ahead. But don't say I didn't warn you. This movie is pure tatti (crap).

Rating: 0/5 Stars (Negative 5 stars for the Amazon drone)
