New Prime Video Movie War of the Worlds Coming to the streaming service on July 30, and out of everything new on Prime Video in July 2025, this is just the most biting. I’m talking about the same ‘War of the Worlds’ as HG Wells’ Epic Sci-Fi novel, and later Jeff Wayne Musical of 1978 with the gigantic spider robot now synonymous with IP. There was even a 2005 movie with Tom Cruise that looked much more like the traditional action movie we would expect.
Here’s what we know about the 2025 version: The movie follows Will Radford (Ice Cube), a top cyber security analyst for Homeland Security, who “spends his days tracking potential threats to national security through a mass surveillance program, until an attack from an unknown entity causes him to question the government.
With the tagline “Your data is deadly”, this lesson is in an unmanageable digital footprint by hitting us in the face with all the stroke from a mandatory school collection. The more i see War of the Worlds Trailer – and trust me, I can’t stop – the more I’m amazed that that’s what our collective creativity has come into. Should the new Prime Video movie set the world on fire? Probably not and this is bad news for Gen Z.
New Prime Video Movie War of the Worlds is really just ice cube fighting against aliens on zoom
Look at
Culturally, we love to find someone to blame. For example, if things change significantly in a well -known franchise, fans are likely to blame certain audiences or social demographics as the reason for it. As for first -class video War of the Worlds Is worried, it looks like a cheap fuck to make the once complex lore of a science-fiction classic that is more tasty for younger viewers. Whether that is even what they want to see hardly means … Young’uns will be responsible for a bad movie if a sniff of modern technology is even used.
As you can see from the trailer above, War of the Worlds Will be completely set on a computer screen. At no time does the action of zoom call, YouTube clips or any amount of open and closed tabs on a desk. This is far from a new concept, with horror films like Megan is missing and Missing (weird, a theme here) Turns regularly to digital means of storytelling. But not having any grounding in reality at all is more rarely seen and honest? I don’t think it serves a purpose at all.
Apart from the laziness I have already discussed, I also do not think the concept does the original story any justice. When you think about War of the WorldsYou are thinking of dynamic action on an untrustworthy scale, complete with magnificent sets of pieces and earthenware world building. Wells’ story is something that is greater than you can ever understand, though the remote premise really feels like it could happen one day. Reduce all this to explosions on a screen and what magic do you have left?
Ice Cube could completely surprise me and pull the best new Prime Video movie from 2025 out of his back pocket, but I very much doubt it. If we are honest there is no real reason why this War of the Worlds should exist, only strengthen the argument that more films should be based on original ideas.
