Prime Video's new adaptation of War of the Worlds has accomplished a rare achievement, but probably not one that the streamer was hoping for: the sci-fi movie has debuted to a Rotten Tomatoes score of only 0%.
The film, starring Ice Cube as Will Radford, a surveillance and threat assessment expert at the Department of Homeland Security, adapts H.G. Wells' alien invasion novel into a "screenlife" thriller, which means all the events of the movie are shown on computer or phone screens. On the hunt for a hacker known as the Disruptor, Radford's search is, ahem, disrupted by a shower of meteors hitting Earth that contain large, violent machines.
