Featured reviews
The movie was one of the worst ice cube movies. His acting was monotonous and only seeing the movie through a computer screen was overused. Most of it to me was stretched out to fill up the the hour and the beginning spent time on meaningless poeces to the movie. I very much did not enjoy the movie.
Why was this film even remade? Did anyone on the team think it was going to be comparable to the last version? It's just so, so bad from start to finish. Save the 90 minutes and literally watch anything else. I don't even know how to describe it. Does not even resemble the novel by Wells or any version that was ever produced in another medium. Bad storyline, bad acting, bad cinematography. Just bad.
This movie is a complete waste of cinematic resources! Ice Cube is ridiculous as 'Mr Everything'! The story line development is completely obstructed by all the 'family drama' from Ice's character. I'd have quit watching it were it not for it being 105 degrees outside. The writers of this must be about 15 years old! Basically just a poorly written and directed movie!!
I always thought that the second Independence Day movie would be the worst movie I ever saw, I was wrong.
This makes it look like The Godfather The plot is so weak, you could drive a coach and horses through the plot holes The best bit however is when it turns into an advert for Amazon when they introduce Prime Drone delivery where the hero needs to buy something from prime to allow it to work.
I can only believe that Ice Cube and Eva Longoria had tax bills they needed to fund to sign up for this nonsense.
I've watched this so you don't have to, you all owe me.

Terrible. Just Terrible. Terrible acting. Terrible special effects. Terrible storyline. The list goes on and on. I honestly haven't watched something this bad in a long time. It is so bad that I felt depressed watching it. I cannot think of one single thing that is good about it. Complete and utter tripe.
