I can basically sum up this movie as following:
The 3 main characters are at location a, talk for 20 minutes - meet tripod - so they relocate to location b.
The talk for 20 minutes meet a tripod and thus go to location c.
Guess what they meet a tripod after talking for 20 minutes and go to the next location. Where again they talk for 20 minutes, go to sleep and awake to all the tripods being dead from bacteria.
It's very rough but seriously: Nothing really happens in this movie.
There are a few scenes with the military where you see tanks rolling but thanks to the bad CG you can't actually differentiate between the lasers from the martians and the gunfire from the tank so it looks like the tanks are just rolling towards the tripods doing nothing... There is also a bit inconsistency: At first a soldier tells them that non of their weapons had any effect on the tripod but when we meet a tripod the next time a few Helicopters take one down pretty easy... And at the end of the movie we even see a handgun going through the shield...
The martians also never really felt threatening they were just there sure, they were firing their lasers and London was devastated but you never really had the feeling that they were scary.
Though one thing i will give the movie is that it wasn't atrociously bad like the Fox Series from 2019, or the BBC series from 2019. That's why i give it 4 stars: Boring but at least it isn't a perversion of the material.
