War of the Worlds: The Attack

Picture this, a soldier and three civilian survivors are hiding in the woods, claiming to be the only people left outside London, and everyone has evacuated. All desolate, alone, abandoned and scared. As we watch in the far background in the distance, there appears to be a motorway with loads of traffic as life in the real world is normal. Could they not have edited this? Very low-budget movie with a boring storyline and amateur acting. I think this is some high school project. This had loads of potential. As indicated in the trailer. But alas, probably one of the worst films ever. I don't recommend it.

This is the worst adaptation of war of the world. The acting was atrocious. Wooden and so cringe. The actors literally reading the script like a rehearsal. Non of the characters were believable , from the police officer to the army guy. Very amateurish. I couldn't stand the accents. The 3 kids were suppose to be university students but were so immature they acted as if they were in primary school. Nobody was remotely likeable. My brain couldn't take anymore after 15 minutes. This was the most boring film I have watched in awhile. Whatever possessed the directors to make the film is beyond me. I do not recommend if you want to keep your sanity.

We've just watched this and can't believe how bad it is. It even makes the Tom Cruise version look fantastic. We were so excited to see a decent modern version but disappointment struck.

Bad acting, bad CGI, bad script, bad everything really. The lead characters do have their good moments, but still look like college production actors. The parson guy should never be allowed to act again for accepting the role.

There is no need to remake something that has been remade a few times (which will have high expectations) and then make a cheap, low budget version that is obviously going to get slated for being crap.

We saw this on Amazon prime and I assume the trailer enticed my wife to purchase this. Terrible acting, terrible storyline, terrible dialogue and terrible fx. The acting is genuinely wooden and it is laughably bad at points. The explosions and fx look worse than 80s films; Whoever funded this should have accepted that £20 would not be a sufficient special effects budget for a sci-fi movie and saved all involved from this embarrassment. The worst thing is that it cost my wife £4.99. The real tragedy is that she made me watch it all and it starts poorly and gets worse.

Do not waste your money on this absolute garbage.

For this kind of movies the atmosphere plays the main role. Here the whole mood of the movie is more relevant to the movie about a cat stuck in the tree and saving her.

Even-though it's low-budget movie, they definitely had some budget invested to the movie, sometimes this kind of films struggle with it but they still can be great. So it's pitty to see how they wrongly accommodated it.

This is like puzzle that can't be completed. Nothing makes sense together and everything falls apart: Acting is weirdly mediocre, VFX looks so plain, no solid lines in this plot but again and the most important is lack of any atmosphere behind it.

Sorry but I couldn't finished it, ffwd to the end after watching a first hour of the movie. Poorly bad and disappointing.
