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 would like to add also 'The Gorge' to this list (even if you didn't ask).

This is a cold war, zombie, elite sniper, horror, love story that has.....for some reason, a drum solo (duo?) scene and Sigourny (sp?) Weaver.

The only way to watch it is stoned to bejeezus....

I enjoyed it not stoned.

thank you as if I had known I would have skipped it but then I get wrapped up in sunk cost :)

Thank you! Went under my radar. Downloaded and will check it out tonight - as a so-bad-its-good connoisseur I have high (heh) expectations.

seriously though grab some edibles and a friend who's laughter is amazing.,. by the end of the movie we were saying "theee goooooorge"

Ok watched it - def so bad it's good. Really funny and a good laugh with it, but a bit different from other ones because you could really see the potential for a good movie if the director/writer picked a lane and stuck with it. The love story was a fucking joke and the literal moment the badass, top military trained sniper chick see a cute boy she has to put on her booty shorts and start dancing and being all "OOHHH MY GAAWDDD cute boy!!" and writing signs is so jarring I literally burst out laughing. The cinemetography and the hallow men cgi/character design/costuming was all done really well though. Literally beat for beat ripped off the last 15 mins of the bourne identity though, like shamelessly. Super predictable in every sense. Overall a great recommendation, thx.

Yeah you could reeeealy see the potential but the different plotlines were so over the top....great bad movie, glad you saw it (enjoyed?) lol!
