Prime Video’s Latest Sci-Fi Reboot Receives Historic 0% Rotten Tomatoes Score

Ice Cube’s recent adaptation of War of the Worlds has unfortunately received a 0% Rotten Tomatoes score after a wave of negative reviews from critics. The film, available on Amazon Prime Video, offers a modern twist on the classic 1898 novel by HG Wells.

Starring Ice Cube as Homeland Security expert Will Radford and Eva Longoria as Dr. Sandra Salas, the movie follows a group of survivors battling against alien forces set on eradicating humanity. Despite a star-studded cast including Clark Gregg, Andrea Savage, and others, the film has faced criticism for lackluster performances and a thin plot.

Reviewers have described the movie as feeling more like a lengthy Amazon commercial than a thrilling sci-fi adventure. While audience scores haven’t fared much better, War of the Worlds remains one of the most-watched movies on Amazon Prime globally.

Despite the disappointing reception, producers had envisioned the film as a modern, immersive experience meant to capture the chaos of an alien invasion in the digital age. The novel has a storied history of adaptations, with Steven Spielberg’s 2005 version being one of the most iconic.

So, if you’re in the mood for some extraterrestrial action, you can catch War of the Worlds streaming on Amazon Prime Video. But be prepared for a story that might not land as smoothly as it did in the original novel.
