Thread 213422446

oof..

It's basically Ice Cube livestreaming his reaction to videogame stuff

Had no idea this was a thing.
Is it like the 2005 version but with Ice Cube? Any fun spectacle? I doubt anyone on /tv/ actually watched this shit.

ngas b codin movies now :skull: fuckin nerds man

>>213422446 (OP)
Thank God for this movie. We all need a low bar everyone can agree upon to make better art.

War of the World Star

>>213422446 (OP)
the fuck did they expect?

That's it, I'm watching it

Ice Cube reacting to Worldstar HipHop videos would probably be more entertaining than this.

>>213422446 (OP)
Blimey, you mean to tell me you've been playing the pratt version of WotW for this whole time. No wonder you only scored 4 percent.

Filmed on a computer screen? Like a twitch stream? Why don't they just make a movie of Kai Cenat or Xqc just reacting to shit?

Moist Kritikal called it the worst movie he's ever seen. and he likes dog shit

honestly the funniest movie i've watched in years. you should all torrent it and see it

>>213423524
i'll just wait for all the movie podcasts to pounce on it which should be any day now

>>213422446 (OP)
I will now watch the kino

>>213423524
Now I'm intrigued. Worst movie lists are like crack.

>>213423629
i put it on my second monitor thinking i would glance over once in a while. but i was glued to the screen from the very first scene with a retarded smile on my face.

>>213422446 (OP)
>another money laundering movie

how tf do you film anything with a computer screen?
do they mean a webcam?
is Ice sitting in front of his monitor the entire runtime?

>>213423873
and if he is, is he really talking into professional grade filming equipment?
or did they litterally just Zoom it in?

>>213423873
It's poorly worded, or whoever wrote that headlne doesn't really understand what the movie is.
Everything in the movie either takes place in that one room or is *viewed* on the computer screen. Of course some of it had to be filmed a different more conventional way first

>first try thumb drive
got up from my seat, did a 360 and walked out of the theatre

As niggers go ice cube is kind of cool, this is a disappointment

>>213422446 (OP)
Saw a clip of this earlier and no one will convince me this whole thing wasn't AI generated.

>>213422628
From what I gathered it's just Ice Cube sitting at his computer watching everything happen on his kids' Livestreams or some shit.

It might as well have been called, "Ice Cube Reacts to War of the Worlds".

>War of the Worlds [REACT]
>#Mrbeast #Pewdepei #War #Worlds

>>213422446 (OP)
Linus Tech Tips was supposed to have a cameo in it but he got edited out.

>gets the IP Address by right clicking and clicking on view page source

i literally can't make this shit up

>>213422446 (OP)

Leaving aside this (apparently terrible) iteration, one of the most important things to understand about War of the Worlds is that is one of the most-adapted modern works, across several media. It's been done as a radio play, a Classics Illustrated comic from the 50s or thereabouts, a 50s version (the best version), the Tom Cruise version, and others.

>>213422628
you know how unfriended takes place on a computer screen? its like that except Ice Cube is reacting to everything. It's awful

>>213424691

By the sounds of how it's described in this thread, they may have been trying to emulate the feel of the Welles radio adaptation via the "black reaction video" genre, in which it's reported that the Martians have just taken territory, done something awful, oh no, how terrible people.

>>213422446 (OP)
Garbage fuckin' movie. I don't see how this got approved for release

>>213424691
at the end he gets tentacle raped by the aliens trying to plug in a magic USB

>>213425050
"and here's a segue to our sponsor... Amazon Prime"

>>213422446 (OP)
We see how pathetic it is, but in this atmosphere, we aren't acknowledging just how low they have sunk. This is a death spasm.

>>213425261
Sounds like it's incredibly cheap to make. Sometimes that's all it takes.

>>213423687
Enlightened chud.

IM ACTING


ON LE COMPUTER SCREEN

>>213422628
It takes place entirely over Zoom calls.

Wow that was awful

>>213422446 (OP)
I watched this because Morpheus is one of my favorite black characters (From Matrix and Ex Machina) and War of the Worlds 2005 is one of my favorite movies but this movie fucking sucked

I turned it off about 30 minutes in

>>213425261
Money doesn't launder itself.

>>213426729
>I watched this because Morpheus is one of my favorite black characters
But that was Lawrence FIshburne, not Ice Cube kek

>>213422446 (OP)
why do they even make shovelware shit like this? it's not even a rights thing because WotW is public domain.

>>213422628
>Is it like the 2005 version but with Ice Cube?
I'd assume not because the book went public domain in 2016 and the 2005 version obviously isn't public domain

>>213425195
idk how people thought the orson wells shit was real, like if you ever listen to it like halfway through it devolves into a normal first person narrative. like it's only some parts in the very beginning where they pretend it's an actual news report

>>213422446 (OP)
Who even gives a shit about War of the Worlds in 2025?

>>213422628
Not even close, it barely has anything to do with aliens. Most of it is just Ice Cube being a l33t hacker that can figure out someones location through using inspect element on a YouTube video.

based retard

>>213423728
This shit wouldn’t be good for money laundering, it’s mostly just recording a computer screen, it would raise eyebrows if the budget was more than $500K

>>213425090
that's how brendan schaub caught bobby lee owning the tfatk reddit

>>213422446 (OP)
I'm surprised anything can be worse than that show where the ayys were just Big Dogs or whatever the fuck those robots were called

>>213422446 (OP)
Allowing copyrighted works to enter the public domain was a mistake. Few IPs have been more thoroughly shat on than this

>>213422628
>Is it like the 2005 version
Can you read?

Should have kept it a radio play because I don't want to look at niggers, and if I hear one I'll turn it off too

>>213422446 (OP)
This was probably filmed during COVID, so they were limited on possibilities.

>>213422446 (OP)
Its a beautiful thing if you ask me, such a dogshit movie, not only is it of questionable format, being pretty much as on MS Teams, actors don't give a shit, plot is retarded, like Ayys are here to eat Data, whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean, and government knew about this and still decided to create a database that would lure them because ???
And, of course, Amazon product placement and slight propoganda, with the world being saved by a single Amazon Delivery Drive who isn't miserable

>>213422628
It's war of the worlds: covid edition.

>>213428133
They could have waited. It's a sprawling action story. But wait, Cruise filmed a MI movie during covid so that's not even a real excuse

>>213428467
Dinner with Ice Cube

bump

I guess Ghosts of Mars isn't your worse movie no more, huh? Bitch.

>>213424691
With how much people watch streamers these days I’m surprised this wasn’t a hit. Good thing I’m just some retard and didn’t put actual money into this like the producers.

>>213422446 (OP)
Why did they get rid of Skype ?nowadays every thing is zoom

Amazon has lost the plot long ago.

Basically you have to be one of the dumbest most out of touch crazed woke people to get a job at these streamers these days.

I have a new suggestion for hiring people for Amazon Prime - literally random people. Completely random people on the street, I'm not kidding, they would make better decisions that these comically absurd people.

>>213423492
kill yourself.

would be better with blade in it. imagine...

>>213424605
You can look at the drive and usually tell.

>they're eatin' our data
I don't think hollywood writers know what data actually is.

>>213428937
they want you on ms teams

>>213428941
I've had Amazon prime for 8 months and didn't like what's on Amazon video anymore. Watched the few good things on there and that's about it. Canceled my yearly sub and they mistakenly refunded it, because "i never used it" according to them. There was a box while canceling my sub where I ticked "this subscription started accidentally" so this might've helped. Fuck Amazon.

>>213428606
When Tom Cruise wants an action movie filmed during COVID, he fucking gets what he wants lol. He is on a significantly different level of star power and budget than whoever wanted this movie to be made.

>>213428606
>>213429133
And his horrible mission impossible movie flopped. So Tom Cruise fucked it up as usual because he's stubborn.

>>213423492
you are such a faggot holy shit

>>213422628
It's supposed to be a modern spin on someone hearing the original War of the World's radio show broadcast.
So it's just him reacting to shit happening on his computer like livestreams and clips.

>>213422446 (OP)
>filmed entirely on a computer screen
What the fuck does that even mean?

>>213425090
Damning evidence it was written by Pajeets. If you’ve watched any scambaiting you know the only tech they understand is poorly editing the page source code. They must legitimately think this is what hacking is.

>>213429244
go watch it

>>213428935
People watch streams because it's free background noise and even if you know the reactions are ingenuine or greatly exaggerated they can still be funny or even unexpected. There is also the interaction with people donating and getting a response and that is both a huge dopamine rush for the donator to be acknowledged, and a way to get them to acknowledge something or take a suggestion on what to do next. And then there are interactions with other streamers such as 'raids' and crossovers and the community making fanart and 'lore' about the streamers and the games they play.
But overall it is just cheap content that most zoomers enjoy only because it is basically just 'funny white noise' while they work or do something else. If all of it was paywalled I doubt it would be successful and would kill the scene. Paying to see a fucking movie about faux-streamer content without all the live elements that actually make it interesting should've been so obviously asinine to be laughed out of the room.

>>213429512
I don’t think anyone is paying for it specifically they just already have prime.

>>213426729
>I watched this because Morpheus is one of my favorite black characters
?????

>>213425141
Is any version close to the source material? As in, set in the late XIX century

>>213429617
Watch the matricks dude its great.

>>213422446 (OP)
Is Amazon the worst studio of all time? Serious question. Everything, and I mean everything from them is terrible.

>>213422446 (OP)
The twist at the end is so dumb. It all happened inside Ice Cube's head.

>>213425090
But you can do that though, just not in the page source menu

>>213426729
>Ex Machina
Domhnall Gleeson isn't black

>>213429699
For All Mankind is pure kino. And I love Foundation

I still think recording-a-screen can be a kino concept but not for something like an alien invasion lmao
When the internet was new there was a few series that did something like this, I forget the name of one but it did interesting things where you watched a story unfold via messages
Maybe I'm just nostalgic

But I think it could work with the right kind of story
Something like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWn0lxRNqos
But with a compelling character and story. It's kino in my head, fuck off

>>213422446 (OP)
It's not just a dumb story, it's so completely boring to look at.
It's like watching stock footage of computer screens for 90 minutes.

It's completely dreadful. It's hard to even call this a film. It's closer to a YouTube video

>>213429721
nigga got dimentia

>>213429892
For all mankind and Foundation is Apple TV.

>>213429972
I should probably get some rest

>>213429972
Now that is worse. Only absolute mongoloids have apple tv.

>>213422628
Hell no. The 2005 version was surprisingly good.

>>213429993

awww, is babby mad?

>>213429916
Boring is worse than dumb or even being shit. The latter 2 can at least be entertaining.

>>213422446 (OP)
I can at least appreciate the concept, if not the execution. This sounds like the next iteration of "found footage"-style filming.
