Description

When H.G. Wells penned the classic 1898 science fiction novel The War of the Worlds, he could scarcely have predicted that in the futuristic year of 2025, a man named Ice Cube would be starring in a desktop cinema adaptation of the novel. Even Orson Welles, with all his imagination, when he produced the 1938 Mercury Theatre radio broadcast of The War of the Worlds, couldn't have conceived that in 2025, a tech company called Amazon would create a Prime Video adaptation of the story featuring a surveillance expert that utilizes the Amazon Prime delivery service in order to save the world.

No one could've predicted what dropped onto Amazon Prime Video on July 30, 2025. Due to popular demand, we fast-tracked this episode so we can tell what we watched so that you never have to watch it!
