So I see this movie pop up on amazon that seems to be another remake of war of the worlds and its 2025 so I was like. mmmmm. Good basic story and I wonder how awesome the special effects will be. I should have known that if I had not heard anything about it that it must be bad. Super low budget and filmed in such a way you would think it was something they made during covid. Maybe it was and just finally got released or something. Anyway do not be fooled. Its just plaein aweful in almost every way imaginable. Its so strange as it has ice cube and eva longoria.

I liked the main character figuring out the car would work and the way they fled with it in some ways being smart and some dumb but that feels the way it would go with some randos. The van hijack and everything around it with violence and surge to the ferry. I like the hiding out in the cabin and the guy getting weird and why the son ran off and the blood farming and escape from cage captivity. So for me it was more good than bad. I leaned into the little girls issues which is kinda funny because one reason I did not like the jurassic park book is the little girls character is way more annoying like that and they sorta split the little boys things between the boy and girl. Back to that war of worlds I sorta saw the anoyingness of the dad, son, daughter as just sorta humanity and family dysfuncition.
