Matthew M doesn’t realize that a half star is actually an emotional response and if it took him 15 minutes to write something, that movie had him THINKING. Thats what Art should do. Art can be something you HATE. That is an emotion. Art is suppost to make you feel something, and feeling something at the extream makes it pretty fucking good Art.
True art is polarizing

Stepping in shit makes me feel something, but it is not art.
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
It’s a readymade interactive art piece. That will be 30 million dollars.
thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 5 weeks ago
yeah, but nobody made it with the intent of you stepping in it
that is a very poor comparison.
aesthelete@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
feeling something at the extream makes it pretty fucking good Art.
Uh, no. A good movie should make you feel something at least close to an intended emotion set, or at least get you thinking about its content.
I’m gonna venture a guess that nobody intended for the reaction to the movie to be someone having trouble thinking about how to write a 0.5 star review for it and then quit and tell other people not to waste their time.
The people watching yet another rehash of war of the worlds are not going to be (for the most part) art snobs. When the audience that would bother watching this watch it and say it sucks, I fucking believe them.
I haven’t wasted my time because I heed warnings rather than touching hot stoves.

I wouldn’t consider 90 minutes of product placement “art” but that’s just me.

I made it 10min, once he started “hacking” teamvewer with a generated master password I GTFO. They tried real hard to make it realistic by having real software and apps but it’s bad, really bad.

I think it’s the same production company that made Searching and Missing. Those movies are good.
slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 5 weeks ago
This stuff is still crazy to me. Every movie these days seems to cost at least 100 million dollars, because every movie that doesn’t make billions is a failure. But they can’t get something like a guy working a computer right… Ever. Or plumbing, it’s always a guy turning A random valve or tighten some bolt with the wrong tool. Everyone playing a video game in a movie is just hitting all the buttons. It’s eventually not what makes or breaks a movie, but it’s so annoying
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
What’s weird about video games is there isn’t a library of stock prop games. It doesn’t take a ton of time to make something in a free engine. I’m sure studio VFX departments have people who could whip up a few demo sized “games” that can actually be controlled and played but don’t have failure states so actors can actually “play” them while filming without having to be too distracted from the scene itself.
Instead we get actors often overenthusiastically wiggling controllers around and insert footage of games that don’t match the motions at all.
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Even having the characters drive a car is pretty hit or miss, so anything more complex is predictably, right out.
Wispy2891@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Real software and apps were used just because they paid for product placement, not for accuracy

To paraphrase Pitch Meeting: “This sounds exactly like something I want to pay real money for!”
Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
This is definitely one I watched the pitch meeting for instead of watching the movie
NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 5 weeks ago
The Pitch Meeting video is how I first learned this movie exists. Sent it to a friend with the message:
I haven’t watched the pitch meeting yet but there is no chance in hell this movie is better than the original
Secretly I was hoping I was wrong, but oh boy, that turned out to be an understatement. Turns out my friend had actually already watched it with his mother… Or rather, tried to watch it. They had to stop hallway through because of how shit it was.
So glad I didn’t have to experience that.
(Note: I have since learned that the movie I was thinking about is not the original, there was an older movie and they’re both based on a book)
JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 weeks ago
I watched the Pitch Meeting because of this comment. I’m tempted to watch it. I loved hate watching Madam Web with friends. Would this be fun too?
TomMasz@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
From what I’ve read, it’s something that Jeff Bezos would pay real money for.

RunawayFixer@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
The setup of this movie reminds me of Locke with Tom Hardy. That’s also basically a movie where you watch 1 person in a static situation (in a car in Locke) conducting remote project management. I’d have never expected a full movie to work with that setup, but Locke pulls it off imo.

Don’t forget Phone Booth! It’s Colin Farrell in a phone booth!!
FanciestPants@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Also kinda similar is Buried with Ryan Reynolds. Just him in a box the whole movie.
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
There was a whole movie with a guy in a box hoping to be unearthed (Buried, or something like that). It was quite decent.
fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
I remember watching Fail Safe by chance and that movie was so fucking tense! Completely carried by the amazing cast. Maybe I should watch it again!
It’s about a cold war situation where iirc the USA bomb a city in Russia by accident and the movie / play is about how the two presidents negotiate to avoid all out nuclear war. Fantastic stuff.

And 3% on rotten tomatoes www.rottentomatoes.com/m/war_of_the_worlds_2025

KingOfTheCouch@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
My first fucking thought was was “yeah, how about no, I’m in fucking zoom calls all fucking day at work.” I give them credit, interesting idea as a high concept thing, but like no chance I’m even giving this 10 minutes even if the reviews weren’t utter shit.

Citizen Kane has nothing on Ice cube yelling “got em!” At a computer screen.
Also you can see the green screen reflected on his glasses the whole time
Korne127@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I hate the fact that this movie causes people to make fun of the genre and think it’s bad in general. Searching is an amazing movie and I love it, and it also has its entire plot on a computer screen. But it actually works, if you have a skilled director, great actors, a really good plot, and know how to exactly use that concept to make a great movie.

The best unintentional comedy in recent years.
thingAmaBob@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I watched this movie for less than 10 minutes out of curiosity. Towards the end of that short time, I was thinking, “When will the scene change? This computer bit seems to be going on a bit long…” Luckily something came up, I got distracted and never finished the movie. Later I find out via memes that was the entire movie 🥴
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Something that you missed, which became increasingly amazing as the movie went on was the elastic nature of time.
It took the same amount of time for earth to globalize its military, fight the tripods successfully, have the tripods break into data centers, disable all the military technology, and put the military on the defense as it did for a car with his daughter in it to drive a mile.
billwashere@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Why did anybody spend money on producing this “movie”? I mean really… somewhere in the midst of this someone should have started question their life choices.
Wispy2891@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
It’s a 89 minutes Amazon ad. “See? We’re delivering with Amazon prime even during an alien invasion! So efficient” or “See? Even when the world banking got destroyed you can count on Amazon gift cards as a method of payment. That homeless gonna love that $1000 Amazon gift card!”
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
The movie telling us that Teslas can be remotely hijacked feels like it should counteract any positives about automatic driving.
Then again this movie starts with an armed warrant execution for posting a YouTube video critical of the NSA, so the values are bit catywompus.

The concept isn’t bad as such. But I’m not surprised at all that they botched it as it’s not easy at all to pull off.
