War of the Worlds 2025 720p WEB-DL x264

If you are looking for great use of 90 minutes of your time, this for sure isn't it. The film is a disappointing mix of webcam footage, horrible jump-cuts, web apps, web searches, weird zooming in, painfully forced modern slang, and acting on par with the worst Teams meeting you've ever sat through. I'm not really sure what possessed anyone to, A: fund this, B: sign onto it, and C: watch this. I know I'm guilty of C, but truly it mostly due to the fact it reminded me of some of Steven Seagal's end-of-career movies in that it's so horrifically bad/sad/woeful/embarrassing that you literally cannot take your eyes off it for fear of missing the next level of sigh inducing head shaking. In some respects it does keep the audience on edge with the interest of "just how bad can this get from here?" and this is the one area where the movie does NOT let you down. The best irony is that this installment is titled "Revival", which would lead you to believe that there is a return to stature or something, but this edition does nothing more than leave you with the feeling that it should have been left alone and Cube and Eva Longoria will enjoy the albatross references of their association to this movie for years to come.
