H.G. Wells is probably rolling in his grave right now… Join us as we dissect this sci-fi adaptation that missed the mark in almost every way! From blatant product placement to misinterpreting the aliens’ weakness, this remake trades thoughtful commentary for clichéd family drama and cringe-worthy dialogue. Did anyone actually read the source material before filming this? We examine the tonal mismatch with Wells’ classic novel, the shallow social commentary, inconsistent plot armor for main characters, and the limitations of the screenlife format. Would you rather watch this or read the original novel? Let us know in the comments below!
