    Because it's shit, that's why, and yes, I watched it.

    me to. I even made a warning post because of how bad it was. Did you make it to the end?

    I did, I was openly laughing about how the plot contradicted itself and all the Amazon product placement.

    I only made it about 20-30 minutes in. It was so terrible.

    That's how long my wife and I made it into "A Family Affair" with Zach Effron and Nicole Kidman. Gave it a try but holy cow was it bad. And we typically don't turn off movies or leave shows.

    Surely it can't be worse than Borderlands to name a recent piece of rubbish I saw, currently sat at 10% on rotten tomatoes

    There is apparently an action scene in which ice cube needs a thumb drive, so orders one via Amazon drone delivery. The drone goes down in all the chaos, and our characters have to barter with the homeless man who found the downed drone by offering him Amazon gift cards. The man is a conspiracy nut who thinks the government is tracking him, but a $1000 Amazon gift cards convinces him to risk his life for the characters.

    So yes, it is worse than Borderlands.

    I've seen the thumbdrive/buying from Amazon sequence on Instagram. I'm going to have to watch the full scene now for myself on Prime.

    So glad I didn't watch this, I was fairly interested from the trailer.

    This is my favorite critic's review on Rotten Tomatoes.

    I mean they got ice cube, I can’t imagine them wanting to make a good movie.

    I didn’t even know this movie existed until a couple of days ago when it hit digital release. Then I wondered how a War of The Worlds movie can possibly fly under my radar. Then I saw it was Ice Cube, and that made me go hmm for sure. THEN I saw the ratings.

    Lol is this the movie that Linus Sebastian got cut from? They did him a favour.

    Shame. The original story is a classic (deservedly so) and has SO MUCH potential.

    That seems to be the story with 90% of Amazon's content attempts. Technically it may have been Universal Studios, but let's be honest, it's clear Amazon was in charge given the intense product placement embedded in the screenplay.

    It was so fucking bad. Me and the wife shut it off half way through.

    How did you get that far? The wife and I lasted about 5 minutes.

    Well we didn’t realize it was going to be him sitting in the chair with that annoying UI the entire movie. We kept being like “OH HES GONNA GET UP” or “OH HIS DAUGHTER IS DYING OUTSIDE HE HAS TO GET UP AND SAVE HER” and then he got up and we were like “OH SHIT THE MOVIE IS GONNA START” but he was locked in the room and he went and sat back down. It was funny but horrible too.

    Is this referencing a game in particular or just a General game thing

    I saw the Pitch Meeting for this that gave away the entire story. It was just so bad.
