October 31 movie date: War of the worldstar 2025
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 4% of 48 critics' reviews are positive. The website's consensus reads: "Stranding Ice Cube in an inept screensaver with wall-to-wall product placement, War of the Worlds will make audiences consider giving peace a chance instead."[9] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 6 out of 100, based on seven critics, indicating "overwhelming dislike".[10]
The product placement from Amazon was panned by critics.[1] The film's climax, where an Amazon employee uses a Prime Air drone to deliver Ice Cube's character a flash drive, was heavily criticized.[11][12][13] Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com gave it zero out of four stars, considered the constant promotion of Amazon "truly morally icky", and recommended watching Union instead.[12]
Peter Debruge of Variety considered the film to be a poor adaptation of The War of the Worlds, criticizing Ice Cube's performance.[11] NBC's Austin Mullen called it one of the worst films of 2025.[1] The movie has entered Rotten Tomatoes's list of "100 Worst Movies of All Time" at #76, as of October 2025.[14] Kevin Nguyen of The Verge described the movie as "so bad it's good".[15] Entertainment Weekly reviewer Jordan Hoffman gave it a positive review, saying, "It's certainly stupid, but it's also a great deal of fun."[16]
