I was waiting for this to be yet another movie where the daughter was kidnapped and the father has to find her using his computer, the internet, and a phone (all while you view it from that perspective) so I'm glad it didn't end up being that.

LOL. Looks horrific. So Ice T sits at a computer all show doing online conference calls?
Never followed the story aside from reading about it and the Tom Cruise movie (I dont know if there's more to it than that), but I always found the story the dumbest thing ever where some unstoppable force dies days later due to Earth bacteria.
It would be like a movie where there's a mass murderer killing everyone, then a few days later the cops find his body. He got sick and died from covid germs.

This part in the trailer gave me a good chuckle:
Was that made entirely by Ai?! I'll watch it for shits and giggles. That looks magnificently horrible.

Shoulda made a Friday film that swerves midway through into War of the Worlds.

This is produced by Timur Bekmambetov, who is making a killing with these Screenlife movies. What a strange career. Wanted and Night Watch were so fucking good.

I'll take their word and just skip this then

That is the beauty of the story. To go with your analogy it would be a bunch of mass murderers being hunted down and killed by an assassin only for the assassin to shoot himself in the head while cleaning his gun.
Its all about hubris - of both the humans and the aliens - and how fragile we are no matter how advanced we get technologically.

At least they saved budget with him doing it on webcam.lol did they spend the entire (low) budget on Ice Cube?
The VFX look like some shitty augmented reality mobile app.
It's like you made a live action Pokemon show that looks like this
"Hey Ice, would you mind if you did your lines from your basement PC?"
"You mean, I dont even have to be on set?"
"Ya, we're on a shoestring budget. Were going to make it one part Blair Witch where it's like social media web cams so it's dirt cheap. Just yell into your screen making it look like youre talking to someone"
"Done. Send me my cheque and script, and I'll record the lines on the weekend and send back"

I always find it hilarious when they cast someone like Ice Cube as a scientist or hacker, or whatever they have him doing there. Then every other movie or show casts these thuggy characters with some soft actors that can't sound like a thug to save their mom's life. You might be able to parrot lines, but you will never sound like a thug. Where as Ice Cube will always sound like a thug, no matter what role they give him.
Those VFX probably "worse than I think."

I wonder who is the better scientist Ice Cube or Jlo?

I never said it wasn't lol. I thought they were both fun movies, same with that horror one, unfriended.
This Ice Cube one just seems slightly more goofy because he's watching a literal alien invasion on his computer/phone and is just like 'oh, I need to see more tiktok clips of this!'

Please tell me this is just a big budge Car Shield commercial.
Wanted was great. So was Day/Night watch. His style had a very specific "grit" to it.

Yeah, the disbelief here is ridiculous. The previous ones really worked well.

The YouTube description cracked me up:
"Ice Cube fights aliens to save his family and the world."
Not even the character name... it's Ice Cube fighting aliens!!!
The Eva Longoria scenes look like they were filmed during lockdown so I'm guessing this is another COVID casualty that's been gathering dust until Amazon finally decided to buy and release it for cheap

I watched some of this the other day and thought it was fake.
Looks YouTube quality, and by that I mean a YouTuber with 0 budget and maybe 10 viewers.

The first War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise was an incredible movie. This looks like a shoestring budget fan recreation for youtube

one night in my 20's me and mates decided to get high
They purchased $400 of meth and I purchased $20 of liquid LSD. They got ripped off and I got the best acid of my life. the rest of the night was spent listening to this album while my mates entertained me by setting up the room to match different scenes of the story
One of the best experiences I've ever had
Ullaaaaaaa!!
Anyone remember the early 90's show with Adrian Paul?
Went from "Aliens are hidden among us" in S1 to "OH SHIT, they TOTALLY clobbered the Earth" in season 2 when it made a jump to post-apocalyptic survival horror. Bananas for the time, as there was no hint it was gonna do that and back then to way to know.

The "plot twist" in that first one -- yikes. Made me hate it, and I usually like every Found Footage I see.It's not just him.
and the sequel...

I'm 20 minutes in and it's as bad as it looks, folks.
He gets an alert that his son spent $200 on a videogame, so he remotely controls his son's PC from work and uninstalls the game WHILE his son is playing it.
