Oh hi. You miss me?
This week on FilmHack, it’s bring your gifted family to the WAR OF THE WORLDS work day… virtually of course… we can’t have kids… or anyone really… within 100 feet of our 4th Amendment Protected Amazon Prime Shopping Carts of Homeland Security occupied by one recently widowed father Ice Cube multitasking his work life balance like a modern take on an H.G. Wells classic SciFi/Drama, planned during the pandemic and released in 2025… Got Damn I can’t believe what I am seeing… these rotten tomato scores are more curiously angry than Ice Cube’s Eyebrows in a reaction video. It was not a good day.
Anywho, so I am out street camping in my tent and doing my best not to be spotted by invading alien tripods… you know bobbing and weaving behind my nylon polyester and zippers home for protection… when suddenly I get a text from an unknown number on my gov’t issued cell phone tracking device asking me to risk my life to save the world by ensuring Amazon can drone deliver on time. No, I don’t think so Jeff. What’s that… 100 dollar gift card. Viva La Capitalism!
Randy, you better have some pants on. Real Talk

BRIEF
When mysterious alien machines descend on Earth, humanity finds itself on the losing end of an intergalactic eviction notice. Scientists, soldiers, and everyday civilians must navigate a planet under siege, where survival means outsmarting an enemy that doesn’t need sleep, food, or a reason to dislike us. Based on the classic H.G. Wells novel with modern tech, global panic, and lots of running.
