Ice Cube's War of the Worlds reboot is facing harsh criticism. After the newest version of the sci-fi classic - starring the rapper and Eva Longoria - hit Amazon Prime Video in July, the film received a zero percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The audience score, with more than a thousand reviews, stands at a low 14 percent. Courtesy of Prime Video In the flick - which is based on H. G. Wells' original novel - Ice stars as a surveillance expert for the Department of Homeland Security who deals with aliens taking over through his computer. While the 2005 adaptation starring Tom Cruise and directed by Steven Spielberg was beloved, the updated installment seems to be getting ripped apart by people on social media. "War of the Worlds (2025) is the worst adaptation of the source material to date," one X user lamented. "It had no ideas beyond the found footage approach and even then the film is struggling to find ways to present coherent scenes. Ice Cube is so lost. Maybe one of the worst movies I've ever seen." "That new War of the Worlds movie was hilariously awful," a second person penned in an update. Courtesy of Prime Video "This new War of the Worlds movie might be the worst movie I have seen in years," a third added. Variety film critic Peter Debruge wished he could get his time and money back that he spent on the movie. "It's really only worth watching to see Ice Cube jump out of his chair and shout, 'Take your intergalactic a**** back home!' When it comes to customer satisfaction, does Amazon's refund policy apply to stuff like this?" he penned. The watch only received one star from Empire's Ian Freer, who called it "prime nonsense" and a "witless affair that fumbles the one or two good ideas it has." MAR/Capital Pictures / MEGA "If Steven Spielberg's 2005 War Of The Worlds tapped deeply into post-9/11 anxieties, this latest update feeds into all the fears of today - the invasion of privacy, the dangers of data farming, the duplicity of governments, where Amazon will dump your package - but doesn't have any idea about how to make them feel real or pertinent," the writer noted.
