War of the Worlds (2025)
War of the Worlds is streaming in Australia on Amazon Prime Video.
The verdict
War of the Worlds never quite comes together, going by how audiences have scored it. It holds a 4.0/10 on TMDB from 1,138 ratings, short of where most viewers set the bar. It's a tight 91-minute watch — easy to fit into a busy night. In Australia you can stream it on Amazon Prime Video.
Should you spend 91 minutes on it?
91 minutes of English science fiction with a thriller streak. Short enough to finish on a weeknight without losing the next morning.
- Why
- It's rated 4.0/10 on 1,138 ratings, which is a weak reception by any reading.
- Skip if
- you want something set in a world you already know
