The fact that this movie is streaming on Amazon and Amazon is presented as the only thing that could ever save humanity from an existential threat is hilarious. It goes full ludicrous when Ice Cube confronts a rogue surveillance baddie ( Clark Gregg) and shouts, "You risked all of our lives just to spy on people's AMAZON CARTS!!"

The movie has been universally panned by critics as a poor adaptation of the original novel and a feature-length advertisement for Amazon.

If you’re a fan of science fiction, film or classic works of fiction in general, you may already be familiar with The War of the Worlds.
