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

War of the Worlds' may have a zero-percent Rotten Tomatoes score, but it's secured itself a place in Amazon's top streaming charts.

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!!"
