Ice Cube-Led War of the Worlds Is Universally Panned

The new War of the Worlds film was released on Amazon on July 31 and is the latest film adaptation based on H. G. Wells’ 1898 alien invasion novel of the same name. Ice Cube plays the role of Will Radford, a surveillance and threat assessment expert at the Department of Homeland Security.

Paul Mount of Starburst magazine gave a scathing review of the film. “War of the Worlds is a torturous, endless 90 minutes of glitchy video clips, military stock footage, glad-to-be-doing-something actors running through the street waving a camera in front of their faces and pretending to be scared,” he wrote.

Ed Power of The Daily Telegraph had a similar sentiment. “It is silly, shoddy and features far too much of rapper-turned-leading man Ice Cube staring at a computer screen while looking as if he’s working through a reasonably urgent digestive ailment,” he wrote.
