Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times "War of the Worlds: Goliath" is just a few cereal commercials shy of a pointlessly cartoon marathon - violent, messily drawn and lifelessly dragging. Mar 7, 2014 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety Noisy battle scenes a la 'Transformers' and 'Starship Troopers' mar this pedestrian animated sequel to H.G. Wells' original story. Mar 7, 2014 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times Considering that the fate of humankind is at stake, "War of the Worlds: Goliath" is remarkably uninvolving. Mar 6, 2014 Full Review Abbie Bernstein Assignment X War of the Worlds: Goliath isn't fabulous cinema, but it's still got a specific vision and a great voice cast, attributes that make it both distinctive and fun. Rated: B- Jan 16, 2019 Full Review Chris Klimek The Dissolve Cleverly, the animators rattle the frame on the tripods' exteriors to suggest the machines' Earth-shaking mass. That's pretty much the inventory of the film's "plus" column. Rated: 2.5 Mar 6, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Axel Andres S Una película infravalorada, encuentro que los efectos 3D en los Trípodes son bastantes intimidantes hasta el efecto de sonido de los rayos láser me da repeluz, una animación estilo de películas animadas de DC Comics y mucha Acción estilo del videojuego Resistance, yo le daría una oportunidad a este film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/12/23 Full Review Jason R The series is absolute shit. While offering a potential watchable show, none of them have ever handled weapons, fear for their lives or relied on another person for their lives. Had great potetnial but as usual fucked up by directors and producers who fear paid parking when in the real world. They royally fucked a great opportunity through their smurfminded end of the world. Useless cun$s Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Animation looks like a storyboard or a ‘moving' comic book. I wouldn't blame them if there's a strict budget limitation. The character designs aren't groundbreaking or inspiring either. A typical anime-style looking human, mixed with 3d-rendered mechs. The slow build-up gives you an uneasy feeling and it lacks an enjoyment to watch. Feels like watching an final-year student project. It tries to demonstrate a mixture of comic book action storytelling and mid-level special effects. Good sounds though. A one word sum for this movie is Amateurish. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Just watched it again great movie, Check reality at door. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member It's solid enough narratively but the subplot feels tacked on and detracts from the whole. Teddy Roosevelt being a utter badass has to be seen though. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of the worst animated movies of all time. No one should watch this film, even if you want to watch a bad movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
