War of the Worlds

About This Movie

So, this 2025 version of 'War of the Worlds' directed by Rich Lee throws us into a tense world where surveillance and paranoia reign. It’s not just about aliens attacking; it dives into how fear can warp perceptions of truth. Will Radford, played with a subtle intensity, really sells the emotional weight of his character’s moral dilemma. The practical effects are striking—there's a gritty realism to the destruction that computer graphics just can’t capture. The pacing keeps you on edge without feeling rushed. It feels more like a slow burn thriller than a typical sci-fi flick. If you appreciate a film that mixes cerebral themes with tense tension, this one stands apart in the genre.
