The worst film of decades has the main video and has become viral thanks to its main character

The war of the worldsThe latest main video machine looked like a brilliant adaptation of the famous HG Wells novel. This, accepting the premise of an extraterrestrial invasion and turning it into reconnaissance into modern paranoia regarding data control and information. Only director Rich Lee turned this idea into a chaotic recreation of a major attack on the territory of the United States, told from the window Teams from MicrosoftThe field in particular, everything that happens in the monitor of the office of Will Cube. Last, official of the US National Security Department, Responsible for the mission of salvation of the world, without getting up from the chair.

If it seems crazy, it is because it is. Especially because the tape uses the format Screening life By accident and without respect, to a lesser extent, the restrictions of the backdrop. As you remember, this is an option Found shots This uses the screens of the device to tell your story. But in The war of the worlds It is used awkwardly and most of the time, almost parodies.

The will must practically solve the World Crisis, with the only resource that can constantly do Copy and insert Information. This is his unlimited power to contact each of the surveillance cameras at his disposal. What is translated into endless sequences of the actor with the face of several friends, When an inconsistent order is in full speed.

A lot of ambitions, slight ingenuity in the “War of Worlds”

Of course, this is an attempt to summarize the current suffering from state hypervision. But The war of the worlds Recently, having made a similar perspective interesting. The script of Kennet A. Goldi Mark Hayman is more interested in trying to convince the viewer – and never succeeds – This will have the greatest power in the world on the tip of his fingers.

Namely: the ability to connect to any device with a camera and manage it at will. Instead of deepening this idea, the film shows the first planes of ice with a wrinkled gloomy. Or, at best, scream on the screen. A defective combination of elements, which becomes worse as the plot develops.

The worst occurs when Will, who devotes most of his work, spy on his distant children, decides to encounter an alien invasion with his methods. These are not others that manipulate at the discretion and without the slightest sense of emergency observation cameras. Soon the list of artifacts is increasing: Teslas And a wide range of devices that include drones and even a camera in the refrigerator. Meanwhile, everything is moving in a parallel investigation of the secret program, which For reasons of the confusing, he is responsible for the attack that had suffered the planet.

Computer screen against invaders

But the big problem of the film is that at any time it is impossible to accept the situation. Much less when he begins to show his absurd revelations. On the one hand, this Vera (Iman Benson) daughter Will participates in complex scientific research. The one, which, to something surprise, is important to stop the invasion. On the other, which Dave (Henry Hunter Hall), His youngest son is a hacker, responsible for a large kibebaatak.

The map of chaotic situations reaches its most ridiculous moment when the will should coordinate protection with its two children on the Internet. This, while the first planes show that you use the delivery service drones as the last military weapon. Production is so careless that even in stressful turns it laughs. Either because there will be a salvation of the world in the zoom -call, or because the husband of his daughter, You must send a critical pendant through the package service.

That begins strongly, ends worse

This, not counting the ultra, a tagged connection with NASA through a suspiciously similar interface Treatin which each official of interest is connected. The situation reaches its most dirty point when the DNA of aliens through computer sabotage will control.Everything, while the building in which it is blown up in fire, and his daughter gives birth to her first grandson.

For its end – relevant, cheese and predictable – the film seems to forget about its own premise in order to focus on the moment that will be reconciled with his family. Thus, it is not entirely clear how she managed to save her life, to avoid a planetary catastrophe or what happened to the country as soon as the aliens were defeated. Actually, The war of the worlds This is not very interested in giving explanations, but it is clear that it will Finally, on the screen, he won.

Currently, The war of the worlds He has amazing 4 % positive criticism in the aggregator Rotten tomatoesThe field makes it one of the worst films of the year and even for a decade. However, despite the failure in criticism, the truth is that the tape has become a viral phenomenon. This, thanks to dozens of memes with the face of Ice Cube, fight with the keyboard against aliens.A curious phenomenon, which is already part of the great moments of the pop culture of the year.
