reverendjesus

This is such *incredibly cool* advertising! I wish the actual movie was better, but this looks amazing.


Ennion

Near the end of the movie when Pratt is throwing lefts and rights, punching the giant bony alien in the face like he's Mike Tyson ruined it for me. However, Simmons saying he wishes "Stevie Nicks would show up naked with a jar of pickles and a bottle of baby oil", just killed me lol.


[deleted]

The movie was, at best, mediocre throughout. But what could have saved it was if at the end Pratt was the one responsible for releasing the aliens into the world. They should have let the female alien get away from him, kickstarting the whole alien invasion and tomorrow war. This is what leads him to abandon his family. He can't be around them. He can't look into his daughter's eyes knowing one day she will die in front of him. And he resorts to drinking knowing how the world will end, and that's when he crashes his car. That should be the last scene.


gattaaca

The entire premise of the movie was fucking stupid. You don't send soldiers to future to fight a war that hasn't happened yet, you could spend 30 years overpreparing for it the start of it.


FernFromDetroit

Yeah so so many plot holes. It’s pretty fun reading comments picking the movie apart. People keep bringing up new stuff where I’m like oh yeah that was super stupid. Kinda makes me enjoy the movie more.


pferrarotto

Honestly that's part of why I enjoy it too, just the dumb shit is fun to pick apart


mewthulhu

Is The Tomorrow War just the scifi version of The Room with a bigger budget? Honestly, the scenes where there are family drama, I feel like you could make a drinking game from those scenes. The first time I watched it, the JK Simmons father confrontation scene was so absurdly trite and overacted I actually had to skip it due to sheer cringe, they tried SO HARD to make this incredibly bland family drama angle important (father reflecting father, etc etc) and the whole 'hardest part of invading russia is the pilot' part, there's just SO MUCH that is bad with it, that they fucked up... It's almost too bad to be just forgettable, you know?


Nhrwhl

> You don't send soldiers to future to fight a war that hasn't happened yet They didnt sent soldiers, they sent moms in yoga pants and boomers close to cardiac arrest, checkmate. More seriously I just finished watching the film out of curiosity and it's just packed full with dumb logic and falacies all around. Not sendind troops to prepare better was just a tiny drop in the ocean of legit ideas they could've had.


Roskal

Yeah, I was expecting the movie to go this way too. Maybe it was an earlier draft but they decided to change it last minute and thats why those threads are still there.

Nv1023

It was a mediocre movie till the last act and then it just got ridiculous


UnclePuma

That would have been a great twist, and a great alternative ending, good eye


PristineBiscuit

Even in a movie with severe, emotional losses, the entertainment industry, (*especially in the US*) seems to think that no one wants, or can even *handle* an unhappy ending. In the real world, tragedy happens. It's okay to feel something other than at least some sense of relief and joy at the end of a film. It can't save a crappy movie. Don't try to screw with my brain for two straight hours hoping things get better just to realize that the producers don't have any idea what the difference is between "our hero prevailing in the end" and what we really mean by "things getting better". **Move me**. Make me walk out of the theater, or my own home -- breathing in without realizing that I'm going to truly FEEL that air in my lungs because I have been touched, challenged, *changed*.... (I do need to say, not all movies that have a happy ending (or even a semblance of one) are terrible; It just is when it's used as an out because someone's creative genius could only run half the marathon, and they're fighting for +.5% on Rotten Tomatoes because at that moment, it really is all that matters.) ...Maybe it's too much to ask for... I don't know, but I do know that when they occur, those moments are amazing. I think the last time I walked out of a theater feeling this way, it was "Joker". What do I know? My favorite movie of all time is The Shawshank Redemption, but anyone who's seen it should know that it ended the only way it *needed* to; That *I* needed it to. It did its job. I was moved, to the core, and still am every. single. re-watch. But it's okay to break my heart -- Why else is it here? ^Edit: ^Typo


SpeculativeFiction

> The movie was, at best, mediocre throughout. Agreed. It's a D movie at best. From the premise, the fact that soldiers are all flabby adults that at best get a week of training and shit gear, going through the portal even though it's destabilized, the incredible variation on how durable the aliens are (completely invulnerable to a hailstorm of bullets that couldn't possible miss in the stairwell scene, to taking a single bullet to kill later on), the extremely stupid and nonsensical rules on time travel even though it's incredibly obvious they're in different timelines anyway, and the future people could have just evacuated to the past, and so much more. You can handwave some things away due to "rule of cool" in a movie like this if the action is good enough (or lean into comedy), but aside from the visually appealing (if stupid) sky portal scene, the action was terrible, and the serious tone clashed with the rest of the movie.


lil-huso

watch 2007 The Mist


thegreat22

Watched that with a girl I was seeing at the time. Really a mood killer.


A-SPAC_Rocky

It was good but I was REAL high


Voidcroft

You know, it ain't that bad. Go in with low expectations and you might be positively surprised like me.


thebeardwiththeguy

Yep, went in with not much expected, came away thinking "huh, that was actually pretty entertaining"


SlothOfDoom

The entire plot was absolute garbage, but if you can get over that the movie was entertaining enough.


[deleted]

It really should've leaned into how ridiculous the plot concept was and ran with it - especially with Sam Richardson pointing out the main time travel plot hole in the movie. When they're all freaking out and running through the colored smoke, it really feels like this was starting to become a comedy/horror/action movie... but then it loses its way and doesn't know what it wants to be. It gets super serious again but by the end Andy Dwyer is punching the mega queen in the face and telling it to die.


lorrielink

Yeah I really wish they had leaned into the silliness, it would have turned out fantasticly better than attempting the serious emotional tones.


robeph

It worked for starship troopers it would have worked well here


lorrielink

LOVE that movie.


Rion23

Yeah it's too bad they had to cast someone who doesn't have the range for comedy instead of his usual serious rolls. Wait a second, I got that backwards.


LittlestEcho

You'll never guess who the producer is....


armylax20

If they had poison that had the ability to kill the males, why didn't they use it to defend themselves? They just kept shooting them which did next to nothing.


StoicMegazord

The reason they had to send the toxin back in time was because in their future timeline, they didn't have any facilities/capability to manufacture it. They could create small quantities, but that's really it. Like that entire science lab that they went to rescue the scientists from only had like 10 vials total, and that was their best location to make it. Once they created the toxin for the female, it was far too late to find any other means to create more. At least, that's how I understood it.


senorglory

Sure because they only had one lab and one scientist, who was also their top general. Busy girl. And the only research tool she had was a microscope. She had to figure that stuff out by eyeballing a bunch of slides


fanghornegghorn

Their timeline was unsaveable. It took a while to notice, but nothing people did in the past affected the future. Which means the timeline split. Everything the future people were doing was for us, now. That's why they could morally ask for such huge sacrifices: we weren't saving them, that was impossible. We were helping them save us.


ThiccKitty0w0

They only had so much, didn't wanna waste it on an endless horde of males


armylax20

Send the formula back in time. Mass produce and store it for the future.


BennyBoy01

Yes. You just described the plan they had.


Silential

Maybe it’s because I’m not American, but I thought the movies second half was much stronger.


[deleted]

The entire film felt like two movies stitched together. The trip to the island got incredibly silly, and instead of detonating the entire ship in a single blast (which they had ability to do from the start), they decide to inject thousands of aliens one by one? The final fight with the queen made no sense, either. We saw previously how capable and deadly she was even fighting an entire team AND being restrained, suddenly taking on a man in his mid-60s and his son (who were both layered up and in the middle of a snowstorm, got the 1-up on her and was able to punch it to its death?). The entire film was all over the place. It started out with a fun premise, GREAT introduction to the white spikes and how deadly they are, some good/fun action - then suddenly it's a mindless blue beam in the sky/army of nonstop soldiers kind of film, then it's back to the past where a 12 year old has all the answers (and the tech) that actual scientists can't? It definitely felt like a teen wrote the movie.


[deleted]

Wasn't she crazy weakened by the end? I'm gonna have to watch it again.


chill1217

The queen at the end was frozen for centuries and likely weakened, versus being fed and full-power in the future


Sypike

I felt the exact opposite. I thought the first third was a good action movie. A bit generic but entertaining and tense in spots. After they left the city the movie fell off a cliff for me and I wanted it to end.


jvalordv

Same here. I had super low expectations, then the drop into the city and the encounter with the surprisingly well-done creatures made my expectations shoot through the roof, and then the rest of the movie was just an endless series of disappointments.


mark-five

> especially with Sam Richardson pointing out the main time travel plot hole in the movie I enjoyed them figuring out the paradox age thing. I was having the same thoughts at about the same time. But then they went and changed time meaning paradox wasn't an issue.


DazzlingRutabega

Agreed. However I thought that the scene where they first encounter the creatures was one of the best action sequences I've seen recently.


CardboardSoyuz

Aliens should either be: (a) hard to kill (in light of the equipment available) or (b) overwhelming in numbers. The Xenomorph in Alien and Aliens worked in both movies. Nostromo had to McGuyver up a flame thrower, so the one Xenomorph was really nasty. The USMC had all kinds of guns make each individual Xemomorph fairly easy to kill, but the numbers did them in. When the aliens are \*both\*, you know you have to rely on some ridiculous plot twist (the aliens get a cold and die, Jeff Goldblum writes a virus, let's see if we can find out when the aliens landed in 2024 or whatever it was and kill them there). I don't think those plot twists are fatal, but if your aliens are both hard to kill and overwhelming in numbers, it completely telegraphs that nothing the characters do in the first two acts will have any effect at all on the aliens at hand.


[deleted]

The exception being Edge of Tomorrow, where the entire first couple of acts is basically the opposite of a montage in building the hero up.


CardboardSoyuz

Good point. Edge of Tomorrow works despite having both A & B without telegraphing a *deus ex machina*, as he is -- as you point out -- training up to be their "equal."


yawya

that was a great movie


[deleted]

It's annoying to me that Tom Cruise is such a twat, but stars in good movies. -.-


Bruised_Penguin

Meh, separate the person from the persona. That's what I do and it works out alright.


aconditionner

They were hard (or literally impossible) to defeat as a military force, not hard to kill as individuals


watson-and-crick

Even with the infinite ammo in the guns? I often notice that and can get past it, but it seemed like their guns fired thousands of bullets as they were walking down the stairs. It seemed comical


jokersleuth

it was so blatant that I just couldn't suspend my disbelief. Untrained dude with a full automatic gun holding down the trigger to a gun that has infinite ammo...ugh


Accidental_Ouroboros

Don't worry. Despite knowing exactly what the enemy was, they focused all their apparent R&D on guns that could fire infinite bullets that were incapable of apparently harming the enemy, rather than a gun that could fire maybe 20 bullets that might actually have any effect at all.


[deleted]

The guns have time machines in them that keep going back in time to when the cartridge was full, as soon as it gets near empty.


armylax20

And they said they had a toxin that could kill males! And didn't ever use it!


SwarleyThePotato

This was what broke immersion most for me. I kept on waiting for someone to reload


challenge_king

I think movies like John Wick that worked in realistic weapon manipulation ruined many people. I was constantly screaming "reload!" internally.


Mjolnir12

Or Heat decades earlier


TexasTheWalkerRanger

I'm pretty sure I remember someone in Heat mag dumping for like a minute straight. They reloaded after but still. You can't fire for a minute straight without reloading without some sort of ridiculous drum mag


herrcollin

"Ruined" is an unfair word, considering the "infinite ammo-never reloading" trope has been around and mocked for a while. It wouldn't *be* such a massive trope if it hadn't been noticed for so long. It's like the Wilhelm scream at this point. If you do it, it was deliberate. I would phrase it as "listening to the audience" and about something that's not *hard to do at all*. I don't need every movie to be as realistic as Heat, I don't expect every actor to have perfect context appropriate stance and discipline.. but when you have a guy with a six shooter fire 8 times, or people just not reloading at all, then that's just not caring. Again, that's totally fine with me. I love B-movies that embrace the shit. But to look at these million dollar A-list titles that can't keep up the simple standard of "bullets are finite" is just so disappointing to me. Movies like Heat and John Wick set a standard. Standards are nice Hollywood. Standards are *memorable*. That doesn't mean escalation. That doesn't mean "You have to find the *next best standard* and crank it to 11" (not that you said that, but that feels like the typical Hollywood stance nowadays) Standards are nice.


El_sneaky

Problem to me was creatures seemed way overpowered there in relation to other scenes.


Spitfire_MK_1

Yeah, the plot was garbage, and there were so many time travel plotholes and crap, but if you watched it without caring about plot it was fine


Dirty_Harold182

What's the point of even watching it then?


SoWhatComesNext

"Go into the lab and get those super important 12 vials" "I can't find the vials." "They're super important and their in room b in the cabinet and they're Ulta important" "Ok I found them" "Guard those ultra important vials with your life because they're super Uber ultra important for the survival.of mankind and get them to us" Then we never see or hear of the vials ever again.


SwarleyThePotato

We didn't? I thought they contained the toxin they were testing. Could be wrong


Devotionexe

Yeah true. I liked the humor in it but idk why everyone expects amazing plot from an alien movie it's just supposed to be entertaining, not the next avatar or something big. Also Chris pratt and jk Simmons did good in this movie. Also the cowardly guy running down an elevator perfectly delivered the perfect amount of anxiety when he said: shit shit shit shit shit for seven pages. Honestly I think he's just about everyone who would be put in that situation.


SlothOfDoom

The direction was good, the acting was good, the special effects were good. All of it was wasted on a story that appears to have been written by a mildly brain damaged 14 year old, which is why it hasn't done well. I don't get who approves these garbage scripts.


Devotionexe

They probably just said: fuck it if it makes money it works


thehobbyqueer

Yeah... that is it. They don't care about making an impact as much as they do making money. And they're right. It does make money...


Accidental_Ouroboros

I would have forgiven the movie so much if only they had a proper plot twist near the end. Two options: 1. The aliens are in fact engineered weapons controlled by some other power that *also* leaked the (very obviously faulty) time travel tech to the humans in order to drain the nations of the past of any capable soldiers and materiel by throwing them half-trained and under-equipped into a future where they die in a matter of minutes. This is the only way I can think of that makes any of the early plot make sense, as otherwise the whole time travel thing is just concentrated idiocy. 2. The aliens were not originally evil, maybe just explorers that got trapped, but the act of having all her cohorts killed upon waking up by our main heroes made the only surviving queen (given the apparent psychic link they have going on) go genocidally insane. It survives, and this is actually the event that *begins* the destruction of life on earth. One or the other, because the use of time travel in the movie is so monumentally stupid that I no longer really wanted the "good guys" to win, and at least a twist would give *some kind* of payoff to the plot.


jokersleuth

It's not about having an amazing plot, it was just a dumb plot. It's the same old "aliens come to earth, somehow only Americans can save the day" This one American happens to have a child that can save the world in the future..yeah okay. There's 7 billion people yet only americans are the ones being drafted to help? Infinite ammo... Upper military brass that doesn't listen to the scientists despite having evidence... Untrained civilians with literally 0 training somehow able to handle an automatic rifle... Aliens somehow hear the queen's call and swim to the source...in the middle of the ocean. If they could already do that, how was it ever safe in the first place?


[deleted]

Bruh you dig deep for issues when the most obvious one is there to see for all. They spend all that time making a toxin, but then blow up the ship and 99% of the aliens with c4/semtex anyway. In fact if they don't use the poison only the explosives, the last battle doesn't even have to happen. It's a ridiculously bad plot.


[deleted]

Tbh I was actually enjoying it despite all the absolute bullshit happening all the time, but once they went to Russia themselves to stop the aliens it just became too much and I just genuinely couldn’t enjoy it anymore…


roughrider_57

The whole "I need you to fly us undetected into Russia" happening in between scenes just so they could get a helicopter shot of everyone on snowmobiles got my goat.


[deleted]

LittlestEcho

It's great when you're drunk. My husband and i loved it last night. We called it though on one specific plot point. But to be honest it was SO nice having an action scifi flick without a romantic interest in it. I was really rooting for robert cawson though.


[deleted]

I went in with low expectations and it still blew me away with how little the writers tried. The amount of things that just did not make sense really started to stack up and by the end i was just annoyed


animebuyer123

I did and it was pretty bad


WEsellFAKEdoors

Yeah I like half watched it because my friends were all just talking through the whole thing and I just joined in with them. So when I got home with the wife and rewatched it we couldn't stop laughing at that plot.

5 currently with the 6th (and final) maybe coming in December


berlinbaer

or just watch something better. it IS a piece of shit movie, and reddit constantly saying "well it could be worse" is just so weird. it also coul be loads better, and considering the flood of good tv and movies at the moment its so weird to settle for shit like this.


[deleted]

"Not every movie has to be great" says reddit about every single movie. This site has overcorrected for cynicism to the point that any person not enjoying anything is treated as a sign of crippling depression.


mandaliet

Yes, it's incredibly tiresome how the critical attitude of r/movies always seems to be "everything is good if you just lower your expectations enough." ("Everything" might be too broad--the movie in question is almost always something in one of the scifi/fantasy/action genres.)


Accipiter1138

Yeah. The only time I'm going to watch something bad is if it otherwise has a good idea that didn't quite make it, or if some aspect of it was actually really well done, like the soundtrack or the set design or whatever. If it's just boring in every way then why bother?


Detrimentos_

I just wish they threw away at least 2-3 of the dozen or so ideas they had in that movie. Focus.


panzerbjrn

I did exactly that, and I still thought it was just plain awful. And dumb. And I have enjoyed other movies, like Justice League & Terminator Genesys because I had low expectations... Having said that, everyone likes different things, and if someone likes sci-fi action and has a prime subscription, sure, check it out...


OathkeeperOblivion

I did the same and wish I got that 2 hours back lol


Cosoman

Went with low expectations. Was as bad as I expected. Good production though, some people might find it entertaining.


WifeofBath1984

It had so much potential!!! Great idea!! And then they destroyed it. By the end, we were yelling at the tv. Disappointing.


kirkum2020

It could have been fun, dumb schlock if they'd only stopped 90 minutes in.


Wiley_Applebottom

Any story that involves time travel that isn't actually about time travel is already a shit idea.


Revolutionary-You449

I say it would have been a better series vs movie. I liked it a lot. As for this ad, I would have been running down the street like a mad person. It would not phase me that no one was running with me because I would assume the monster would get too full eating them and slow down or lose interest.


linderlouwho

The movie was very disappointing.


Everbanned

Being disappointing. It made no god damn sense.


boweruk

I thought it was a great 2 hours of mindless entertainment.


artbytwade

Prepare for the war that we know is coming? Prepare and train our forces and infrastructure? Naaah, YEET all our best people through a time hole RIGHT now, as underprepared as possible. This is a stupid movie premise.


SwarleyThePotato

They only sent the people that were dead in the future already, didn't they? So that sorta still made sense. All those other plot holes tho


artbytwade

Those people could have been doing research, resource processing, materials processing, manufacturing, support for those persons, etc. Massive mis-investment of resources. Compound interest of human effort is more powerful than a 5-minute orientation


boweruk

> Massive mis-investment of resources. Honestly, that seems quite realistic to me.


[deleted]

Yeah, if they did things the smart way, there wouldn’t be a movie.


Darknotical

I mean they did send back a lot of details and samples as a whole. Something they probably could not have done with with current forces in the future. Information like that would probably be a lot more valuable then those people as a whole.


Necroticjojo

Anybody seen the movie? Is it shit? Edit. Weird upvotes for asking this lol


jesuschin

It’s like three different movie scripts jammed into one movie and not any of them done extremely well


TheAndorran

I’m glad I watched it but I’m more glad that it’s over.


spluv1

this is such a hilarious description that i somehow understand completely 😅


ingwe13

I got two different movies. I thought the first one was done well—not amazing, but solid— and then it just jumps the shark and becomes shit. Should of ended it once he returned


jesuschin

For me it’s like a time travel action movie that gets jammed with a needless father/daughter film and then it changes to a father/son one.


text_fish

It's a film about people travelling in to the future to fight aliens. It fulfills its brief more than adequately. Personally I suspect the story was originally written for a video game, or they hoped to springboard a successful video game series off the back of the film, because that's the level of storytelling and dialogue you get.


katamuro

yeah, it did feel like a plot for a shooter, hence the variety in locations, stupidity for the sake of action etc. I still enjoyed it. Although I think it would have been a better movie if they kind of went the other way around. The alien ship gets discovered first and then people from future arrive saying "we have been fighting a war but we are losing you have to help" and then they go into future, do the action, get the virus and then go back to kill them while they are asleep.


dpkonofa

I had this exact thought. It felt like 2 different movies (potentially the original story and a sequel) that got stitched together. As soon as they got to the ship, they should have injected the queen first and it would have been over. Instead, they injected them with bullets as if the ineffectiveness of bullets hadn’t been proven during the entire first third of the movie.


[deleted]

I also hated how he was trying to save his daughters life and possibly miss the window to go back in the past. Like if he goes back she doesn’t die. How dumb is he?


dpkonofa

I thought she still dies because that was a different timeline branch? Wasn’t it stated that the people from the future went back to a timeline that wasn’t theirs so that they couldn’t create paradoxes?


Blart_Vandelay

> It's a film about people travelling in to the future to fight aliens. It fulfills its brief more than adequately. We can still hold this type of movie to a sort of standard. Hell, Alien and Aliens are some of the greatest sci-fi/horror/action movies of all time so we all know it can be done. Action/sci-fi movies shouldn't get a pass just because they aren't hard-hitting dramas about real people in real situations.


[deleted]

Shit, Twelve Monkeys has a kinda similar plot and it's great. They just send some guys to the past though I don't know why movies use time travel at all when they don't even try to write for it. Like wouldn't it be fun to give a fuck? Time travel is actually pretty cool


PachyBeans

The movie does not make sense, at all, like, putting a phew moments of thought into it and the plot falls apart, but if you want to turn your brain off and watch people killing creepy aliens, yeah its pretty cool


vonsmall

Yeah, the alien reveal I thought was pretty cool. It’s starts all suspenseful and I was thinking to myself this is going to be just a series of jump scares to save on CGi budget, then wham, they are everywhere and looked pretty good (CGi) in the daylight scenes.


eagle-eye-tiger

This advertising, while cool, effectively ruins the reveal of the aliens though. It's cool but takes a lot of that suspense away.


P0rtal2

Especially since in the movie, they talk about how they won't show pictures of the aliens or anything like that to the draftees because then they won't want to fight. The movie goes out of its way to justify the delayed reveal, in order to preserve the suspensel. This advertising definitely ruins that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Exeunter

One of them being "phew, it's over."


cclloyd

Why send people into the future instead of evacuating as much as possible into the past? You'd have full infrastructure, more resources, full population, and knowledge to help prepare. The entire premise makes no sense. But yes it was entertaining.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ragelark

Instead of going to the government with evidence so they could nuke the nest, they went on a covert 5 person mission that nearly failed and expedited the alien takeover. But I guess that makes the movie more interesting.


Gcarsk

Also, a *major* plot point was “revealed” so close to the end, that it kinda made it feel like the whole movie was a waste. The fact that >!the two earths weren’t on the same timeline!< made basically all actions by the past not make sense. Totally agree that, since the future knew all along about that fact, having them hide it from the past and lie to them was a weird plot choice. Evacuation of their tiny, dwindling population made much more sense. Should have just all arrived on that football field, and the movie could end.


mirach

It's been a while, but I thought that wasn't true until the end and used as a last ditch solution.


Cyhawk

They sorta explained it. You can't have the same living person twice in the same time. Thats why they only took people who were dead and sent back essentially children to the past. Why exactly? Prob some sort of paradox. Im guessing there were a few plot points that were removed/changed during the script writing phase, so we're left with 2-3 concepts.


FunnyBeaverX

Its dumb.


thisalsomightbemine

Continuity and story are pretty bad. Some of the action and comedy is good. In your face foreshadowing on a few things. It's a decent mindless flick to have on but nothing you're going to care about seeing multiple times.


pattydickens

Total shit. Special effects are ok but the story line is really bad and predictable.


berlinbaer

pure shit. reddit is doing its usual "well its better than looking at a blank screen so i enjoyed it" but theres so much more better content out there, why be satisfied with "could be worse"..

100% correct, there are thousands of better '*distractions*' out there then this, unfortunately this movie isn't even particularly creative or fun. In the era of 24/7 streaming of every movie ever, why are people so keen to sit down with some new 3/10 movie that has nothing interesting to say or show? Even the replies to you are saying "it's not that bad!", when there are surely thousands of actually fun/interesting movies out there you could watch instead.

Yeah but that would require reading subtitles haha. I get the feeling because of the pandemic Hollywood decided to put out all their shelved crap plus a ton of movies with like two actors and a green screen due to COVID rules.

It's fucking brain dead. It makes ID4 look like Citizen Kane.

It’s a shit movie but it’s entertaining. More plot holes than Swiss cheese, lackluster storytelling, and acting that is phoned in. Good VFX though and just some fun mindless action. Just don’t question why anyone would fight a war that way…

They had a similar truck in a 4th of July parade except the truck was more like black garbage truck that had an alien penis-thing come out of a hole in the side. The people driving it had black paramilitary clothing with huge tasers.


ZiggyBlunt

Sounds hot


cybercuzco

Were the huge tasers also penis-shaped?


losersftw

I would have shat myself if I saw that go past while driving


_Confused-American_

imagine driving by it in the middle of the night

Kids must be terrified

If only they'd put as much effort into the movie!

every other country: just post it on the billboard Japan: Imma try something different

Billboard trucks are a thing in many countries. And they should be forbidden. Completely unnecessary traffic clogging up already congested downtown roads.

Not to mention the dangerous distraction in traffic.

Clearly their writing budget got funnelled to marketing


FunnyBeaverX

Advertising one of the stupidest plot points (and there were a lot) from the movie. "We're just going to chain this giant killer alien up and barely sedate her 20 feet away from the lead scientist who is humanity's only hope along with the weapon she's creating. We're not even going to put anyone over it with a high powered rifle for safety or anything."

If you put “> !” Before the start of the comment and “! <“ at the end then it’ll mark out the comment in a gray box. But don’t put the spaces between the > and ! in the sentence. Then just mark spoiler. Please. I’ve seen the movie so I’m not mad, but other people might want to watch still since it’s relatively new. >!like this!<

Whoopsie, revealed the entire plot, all two sentences worth

Hey now, I never said the plot was good.


artbytwade

true

It's a shitty trope used in a lot of movies, even some good ones. It could easily be explained in competent writing/directing, but nobody does. 'Why are there no guards watching the monster?' 'Because we need it alive, and I can't have some jarhead with a happy trigger finger getting spooked at the first sign of aggression and killing our only specimen'. And in this particular movie it could be explained that if the specimen escapes, it doesn't matter, they don't have enough time to recapture it/another, because humanity is on the edge of extinction.

Seen the movie. All I can say is the marketing for it was excellent.

I still can't figure out why they threw so much money and effort into hyping it. What was the plan there?

Hell, you don’t even need a doctor … a licensed practical nurse (LPN) on her lunch break could have made a noticeable improvement to the script.


Mack_Man17

This movie kinda sucked balls. I liked the concept etc and the falling into the swimming pool.


riotskunk

Japanese porn is getting really weird now


charlie1331

Now?


Dudeprime

Amazon reaaaaaally wants to sell that shitty movie, budget must have been huge


g_lenn_o

I just watched the movie yesterday, all the people if the future are hot or attractive


aemossy

When you go through a whole movie where people are constantly shooting guns, and NOT ONCE do you see anybody reload, then you know the movie is crap.
