An avalanche of catastrophic notes. Including an extremely rare 0% on the press side (and not much more among the spectators) in Rotten Tomatoes, an American site that adds the criticisms of professionals and the general public. THE WAR OF THE WORLDS Rich Lee, released in Catimini on video prime at the end of July, with Ice Cube and Eva Longoria in the main roles, has been ridiculed on the web for several days.
This new contemporary adaptation of the classic HG HG Wells recounts the setbacks of Will Radford, analyst of the American internal security department, spending his days locked up, tracking possible threats to cybersecurity and watching his children remotely, through surveillance cameras. However, a cyber attack (based on aliens, of course) will lead him to wonder if the government has not manipulated it and the rest of the world.
Problem, fiction adopts a “projection” format (understanding: film events are counted through computer screens, smartphones or tablets). Original, but not the most judicious, because the image is considered “ugly”, even worse, for the number of spectators.
In the Top 10 on Video Primo
The variety considers work as a “disastrous” adaptation of THE WAR OF THE WORLDSCriticizing strongly the abusive use of screens, compared to “defective video clips.” The performance (contrary) of the ICE cube and the locations of Amazon’s inopportune products are also in the viewer of the US media.
The French site specializes in the cinema and the series, a wide screen, crosses it “the inanity of the script”, “the nullity of performance”, “the opportunism of its device that never shows the aliens beyond the waves shine and tremble” and the “giant announcement, misinformed and shameful for Amazon.”
Even the American rapper 50 Cent cheerfully made fun of his comrade Ice Cube on Instagram, ironic: “How do you find 0% serious? There is one that must blame Cube. Now I’m afraid of seeing him hahaha “.
But THE WAR OF THE WORLDS He releases today in the Top 10 of the most watched content on the platform in the United States, but also in France (currently sixth). Therefore, a bad buzz that not only damages the film.
