cool we can have a thread for Zack's bad star wars movie and everyone can defend it by screaming "cInEmA SiNs" at every critique

And everyone can criticize it by saying it's "grandiose" and "up its own rear end" and then just splurt and flop about when asked what those things mean.

Maybe its just the angle and the blurriness loving with the perspective but that one girl in the background looks like she has an absolutely massive forehead.

I haven't seen it, but based on the plot stuff I've read, there could be a good jumping off point if Chris Pratt creates a branched timeline when the aliens are eliminated in the present, which the war-torn future humans try to jump over to. Could either play them as invaders trying to take over the peaceful timeline, or as refugees that the present hates for drafting people into a war that will never happen.

By the end of the movie everyone from the future timeline is dead.

Edit: Except for future people who went to the past to set up the stuff to send people to the future.

Honestly the main thing that frustrates me about The Tomorrow War is it makes an adaptation of The Forever War less likely or else it'll have to change its name.

The tomorrow war didn't even feel like a "war", it was a bunch of mobile game hoard mode skirmishes against a bunch of monsters. Reminded me of the Matt Damon flick the great wall, which is even dumber than this movie

Tomorrow War felt like it was, at some point, an interesting script that got absolutely butchered to fit Pratt's weirdo rightwing views. It also managed the most impressive backdown I can remember when it came to setting up and then refusing to go with his actions causing a closed loop that starts the war.

It reminds me of Bright in regards to the potential of the premise and the degree to which if fails. It is dumber and just plain worse than Bright though.

There's a big focus in the movie on the "anti war protests" that I think are only shown on TV screens and not depicted, and at one point the gov officials actually said the us is spending all their military reserves on dealing with protestors rather than doing pre emotive strikes against iced up aliens. There's a huge libertarian streak to that final act where a rag tag of idiots led by an anti gov madman and his "but my glorious purpose!" estranged son, including a lab dude for comedic effect, go poison some aliens to death, fail, blow poo poo up and then have some nice hand to hand combat in the snow.
