Have you ever seen Conflict of the Worlds? No, I’m not speaking in regards to the Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning-led movie adaptation of H.G. Wells’ science fiction novel from 2005. I’m speaking in regards to the Ice Dice-led adaptation that arrived to the 2025 motion pictures schedule final week and will be streamed with an Amazon Prime Video subscription. Don’t fear should you haven’t, as its vital reception is so dangerous, it’s grow to be a type of motion pictures which have a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Fellow rapper 50 Cent shared a hilarious response when he discovered about this.
Not one of the 20 evaluations listed for Conflict of the Worlds on Rotten Tomatoes gave it a optimistic rating, and the fan-generated Popcornmeter solely comes out barely higher at 18%. 50 Cent posted the next to Instagram upon seeing headlines about how poorly this sci-fi flick has been obtained (edited for grammar and readability):
0 % 😳 How [do] you get a 0 p.c score 🤔Nah, anyone mad at Dice. Now I’m scared to observe it. LOL
I’m sorry, is he implying there’s some sort of conspiracy in opposition to Ice Dice that’s chargeable for Conflict of the Worlds’ dismal Rotten Tomatoes score? I wouldn’t go that far, however I do like how this shocked 50 Cent sufficient that he felt the necessity to put up about it on social media. Fingers crossed he ultimately overcomes his worry and decides to observe Conflict of the Worlds, as I must know what he thinks of the ultimate product. From there, I wouldn’t thoughts being a fly on the wall for the day when 50 Cent tells Ice Dice shares that opinion in individual.
Clearly not each film goes to be a winner, however that undeniable fact that not one of the skilled critics who reviewed Conflict of the Worlds speaks volumes. Our personal Philip Sledge even stated it is likely to be the worst film he’s seen this 12 months, writing that it’s “schlocky, flat, stuffed with extra plot holes than Amazon references, and options too many dying fake-outs to rely.” And but, Philip nonetheless had fun watching Conflict of the Worlds, in order that counts for one thing.
Greatest case situation, this tackle Conflict of the Worlds will grow to be certainly one of ‘so dangerous, it’s good’ motion pictures that buddies get collectively to observe it… maybe with alcohol available. That stated, I don’t see this changing into a large enough deal that it begins taking part in in particular theatrical screenings, like Tommy Wiseau’s The Room. It doesn’t appear to be it has that sort of enchantment.
Ice Dice, who performs DHS officer Will Radford, is joined in Conflict of the Worlds by Eva Longoria, Clark Gregg and Andrea Savage, amongst others. Wealthy Lee directed and Kenneth A. Golde and Marc Hyman wrote the script. 50 Cent’s final cinematic endeavor was govt producing Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, which got here out in January.
