“I did not watch the first u0026quot;filmu0026quot; in this series and barely made it through this film. All I can compare it too is a Tom Baker Dr. Who adventure except that the Tom Baker episodes were more fun.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWilliam Baldwin barely phones in his performance on a landline. And heu0026#39;s the best actor in the bunch. The plot is typical: there is a device that can destroy the Earth but who will get to it first, Baldwin the alien general with a gigantic battlecruiser and army of three, or Earth general, Michael Pare, with his small battle pod and army of four which consists of his wife, two daughters, and one daughteru0026#39;s boyfriend. Money was not spent on cast for sure.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOr will common sense prevail and all saved? No way am I giving away the ending. If I sat through this mess then so will you.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI can only hope this wasnu0026#39;t conceived as a trilogy and we will be spared a third film. But who knows.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is featured as a TUBI original and as such the only cost is sitting through a bunch of commercials and most of us already know how to do that.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI suppose if you must, you can view the earlier film War of the Worlds: Annihilation to get the bigger picture, and the prologue to the current film will make sense. Both films are on TUBI. And TUBI is better than PLEX as while they run fewer commercials until you approach the end of a film where commercials get bundled into packs of twelve running one right after the other.”
