This is not a Transformers movie. It wasn't directed by Michael Bay. The female actors don't all look models, and all men aren't body builders with chiseled cheeks. The special effects are done to match the original story - not add pop scares and gratuitous gore.
This isn't Star Wars or even Alien. This is the story of the cost of British imperialism flipped 180° to make all of humanity at the mercy of superior technology in the same way the west whipped out entire people's and cultures.
And it shows this without being preachy about it.
So if you're a grown-up who appreciates the original novel by H. G. Wells, then this can be worth your time.
PS: This movie improves over the book by including strong female charactersz which Edwardian English couldn't care less about.

It is impossible to watch anything made by the Wrights without wanting to throw-uo a little. That everything they do is so incompetent and poorly made isn't even the worst part.
Like every other release of theirs I've watched, I watched this with friends, knowing it was going to be a disaster. This movie is ugly propaganda for those sad, sad people who live afraid of the world. From the Proud Boys beard to their rabid obsession with demons and devils, this is red meat for The Duggar's fan base at their worst. (And that is saying something.) It's just bad. Though to be fair - it's not their worst outing. They have learned a little bit about how sound actually works. Just kidding. They don't have a clue what their doing.
On a good note - the Wrights consistently demonstrate everything wrong with the cultish homeschool community that seems to gobble these up.

I heard about this film from a podcast, and decided to have a watch party with friends. We watched another John Schneider film a few months ago and made it a drinking game every time the actors sounded like a Fox News commentator covering a klan rally and we literally had to stop the game 15 minutes in.
So I'm very glad we decided against doing the same drinking game with this film, because merely watching this movie 'cancels' enough brain cells.
It's not a surprise this sad little pile is just a cheap string of every conservative trope for playing the victim card. But that's just what you get whenever John Schneider makes a move.
