Malaysian review on the film

"You'd enjoy this action-packed sci-fi animated film.about humans vs aliens... but only if you're a boy below 13. Girls, you might wanna stay far, far away from this one.

War of the Worlds: Goliath has great 3D effects, impressive designs of the settings and there's a cool Malaysian character, but other than that, it's very much like a typical American cartoon we can see on TV any day, if not worse. The almost-emotionless voice acting and the extremely corny dialogues in WOTWG cause complete absence of any sort of engagement, and at parts, it's just unintentionally hilarious.

The story is so cliche that I could almost guess the entire movie by just watching the trailers. Its attempt on educating the viewers about multiracial unity is totally unconvincing. The movement of the characters are awkwardly unnatural and their design reminds me of how poor the characters look in the anime, Initial D."
