    From the descriptions and reviews this sounds like something that should have been binned. 4% on Rotten Tomatoes. Anyone here see it?

    Yep. 2 hours you will never get back! He sits at his computer screens for most of it. The bits he gets off the chair are badly acted and badly filmed imo.

    Seems like it was mostly filmed during Covid (hence all the screens and Teams meetings), then shelved. But then there's some War of the Worlds anniversary this year, so they resuscitated it.

    From the clips I saw though, seems like it's one big ad for Amazon.

    I was watching this movie and then my neighbour came and we watched it together.

    He said that this movie changed his life and touched his heart. 

    I then went and rented a projector and placed it in a big field and all the people in my village watched it and it changed their lives too. 

    We all are so grateful.

    Thank You for this movie!

    Lol. Sure it did. I will stream it to see how so bad it's funny kind of movie it is.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Look up reviews on Youtube for it. No one has a good word to say about it. Avoid.

    If that's the case then they should be obliged to place a disclaimer at the start and periodically throughout. Like they do when they get Gogglebox members to advertise something. It's there on the top or bottom saying "Advertisement".

    I have not seen it so will not comment on the quality but my God the reports of the overt advertisements and general shoddiness of everything else makes it SOUND like a glorified ad. There should be (Probably are) laws against it.

    Yeah the movie is terrible in and of itself while also being ads for various things.

    At one point a character needs to escape so Ice Cube remote hacks a tesla for them and they make a big deal of the self driving or whatever it has. At another point a character needs an item so they send it to them using Amazon Prime Drone Delivery which is still operating for some reason during the alien attack.

    It's a funny watch since it's so bad but when you read about other movies like Batgirl being cancelled after being fully made for tax write offs I have no clue why they released this.
