Variety

The project might be scarier if the company that’s releasing it, Amazon, hadn’t already achieved world domination. Even with a Prime subscription, you have to sit through two minutes of ads to watch 90 more of what amounts to a feature-length commercial for all things Amazon.

Ready Steady Cut

War of the Worlds isn’t supposed to be a funny movie, but it’s hilarious, usually for the wrong reasons.

Film Stories

War Of The Worlds unfolds like a fireworks display of madness. Presiding over it all, perhaps channeling the ghost of HG Wells, looking at what the 21st century did to his key text, is Ice Cube. 'That’s crazy, right there,' Cube says, observing another terrible VFX shot. The rest of us can only nod in agreement.

Mark Reviews Movies

War of the Worlds offers a clever concept for telling this story. Everything else about it fails to live up to that promise.

Frank Torres: Trends, Issues, Opinions

"The plot will make you roll your eyes and it’s so dog-gone predictable, that it prevents the film from being anything you’ll remember once you close the player."

Nri Globe

War of the Worlds: Revival (2025)... is a disappointing addition to H.G. Wells’ storied legacy. Its ambitious screenlife format and privacy themes are overshadowed by poor CGI, laughable dialogue, and a plot that feels like a corporate ad.
