War of the Worlds features CGI robots, dramatic music, and chaotic scenes of exhausted actors making exaggerated expressions. The film's unique charm comes from Ice Cube running around in an empty office. The production's background reveals it was developed during the pandemic, aimed at a screenlife format where actors performed remotely. This format was appealing during a time when traditional filming was challenging. The acceptance of unconventional entertainment during this period contributed to its overall appeal, despite a lackluster plot.
The new movie War of the Worlds features cheap-looking CGI'd clips of large robots, intense music, and actors making unconvincing faces, yet somehow Ice Cube running around lost kicks ass.
Timur Beckmambetov pitched War of the Worlds as a screenlife flick during the pandemic, allowing actors to work from separate locations, utilizing laptop and smartphone cameras for filming.
