    Disgraceful to the "War of the Worlds" name

    Oh goodness, why do people make this crap?! Are these filmmakers literally trying to kill us by demolishing our brain cells? First of all, I'm not going take long on reviewing a film that's not worth it, so let's make this quick and start off by calling out the bad stuff. (Which is basically everything about the film.)

    • The acting was horrendous. The worst you could possibly get.


    • The special effects were complete trash. Everything that had to deal with any special effects whatsoever was horrible.


    • The walkers were also disappointing, and they weren't cool or edgy at all, nor were they new or awesome in anyway possible.


    • The constant, unnecessary, background music got on my last nerve. It didn't go two seconds without playing some sort of irritating, repetitive music!


    • The twist at the end was incredibly stupid and predictable.


    There was nothing good about this film, except for the fact that it made me breathe relief when the end credits showed, because the agony of watching this movie was finally over.

    If you're a big fan of the story, I beg of you to not to watch this film, or even consider watching it. If you don't, you will be doing yourself a tremendous deed.

    One of the worst movies ever...

    Well I didn't like the first movie to this series but now they have outdone themselves in the worst possible way. A really stupid story, which I could still overlook, if there wasn't really really horrible bad acting!! I wont really comment on the computer effects, which were not good ones, because that shouldn't be what a movie is about anyway... The only thing that really bothered me is that especially in the flight scenes they showed the same sequence over and over and over and over again? Do they think i am stupid and my attention span is less than 45 seconds? This movie can only be regarded as a very bad joke gone really wrong...

    The worst "movie" I ever seen

    I cant believe that this movie went out to market. It should be some organization regulating sh!t from getting on the shelves.

    This is the kind of movies that you cant stop viewing it because you think that it will get better at some time and then BANG! the titles appear.

    I just registered here (this is my first review) just to put this honest comment, and I hope that it can save 1.5 hours of life to somebody. I don't know how people here could vote with 3 or even 5 stars, whoever did this should be sued.

    I don't have other thing to say about this movie without saying bad words, but it seems I need to complete 10 lines.

    Please don't ever view this movie or you will regret it

    Not worth spending an hour and a half

    I've never seen anything so boring...

    From the story (which is basically a mix between War of the World and Independence Day) to the acting (I was wondering if one can still call that acting since the trees in the forest have more attitude than the actual actors)....

    Not mentioning the special effects (a little "ziiiiip" and a ray to make people disappear).

    This movie had no budget and wanted to look like a million-dollar movie but frankly it was just painful to watch...

    Now directing... well what can I say? ... we all know C. Thomas Howell as an actor ... so let me know that he is twice as bad as a director... there's basically no direction at all...

    It's always sad to see someone like a former A-list actor becoming something like this but take my advice... do not buy or rent this movie.. keep your money for something worth it !

    Almost unwatchable

    Horrible acting, terrible special effects, plot holes a mile wide, and not much a plot to begin with -- I had hoped for some improvement over the first version but there really is none. It's not even very good for laughs.

    For just one example, and this won't spoil the plot, the remnant human air force takes off to do battle. For some reason they are all launched initially by remote control from a desktop computer. (I know, I know.) Yet the pilots themselves are all taken by surprise. They don't even realize how they are going to be taking off. Huh? Trying to find something positive to say, some of the scientific dialogue is fairly sophisticated -- branes are mentioned for example. The problem is that it feels tacked on to the pedestrian plot and contributes little. You aren't going to find much in this movie. I'm still waiting to find a modern day War of the Worlds in which people actually credibly fight back. The one with Cruise had good special effects but a pathetic message. This one doesn't even have the special effects.

    • Trivia
      The sounds coming from Alex's hand-held video game are from the classic arcade game "Defender," in which the player fights aliens attempting to kidnap humans, which mirrors the basic plot of "War of the Worlds."
    • Goofs
      When Major Kramer is calling for the time jump coordinates to leave Mars orbit, he gets a real time response from Earth. This is impossible as it take radio signal 15 to 20 minutes, each way, to receive a transmission.
