Tomorrow War.

Yeah, looks cool. Thanks for posting the trailer!
 
So mandatory black female boss character, because apparently everyone in charge has to be black or female or preferably both these days.

But they go to all the trouble to come back in time, somehow get everyone to go along with a draft including the government (because if all the humans are dead and they need us, how are they occupying the country to enforce this?) but after putting the fancy time watch on them they don't apparently give them even basic weapons familiarization (ie which way up a rifle goes) before they zap them through time (which probably has quite a large energy cost) and drop them out of the sky at random like sowing seeds rather than I dunno, assembling a force and not just firing them off like bottle rockets. 6 Underground made more sense and that movie was a kid off his ritalin turned loose with magical CGI powers and bloody Deadpool.

Yeah, this seems well thought out.

think of it this way... it's probably exactly how it would go if it were real.

No, it just thinks, "Hey, lets make something fun so people can 'escape' for two hours"
It seems it's got aliens in it too. All the issues you have with the movie, none seemed to involve freaking aliens lol

Well you have to have aliens because you can't use the PRC or the Russians as baddies anymore, they bought Hollywood.

So you're saying, if I write a book about drafting WWII soldiers to fight against the ChiChoms in the early 21st century - you'd read it?

Cause I totally would.

Especially after that wretched Army Ad came out recently. I'm pretty positive we'd need past soldiers to win at this point.

Welp my dad just canceled our Friday night fireworks due to chance of rain that night (yes, I know the date, but they - parents - are going to their beach house Saturday morning, so they were going to have everyone down at the lake house on Friday for our annual big get together to celebrate America), so that frees up my night for a big blockbuster movie!

Man, Pratt went from chubby idiot in the early days of Parks and Rec to buff action hero. Goofball to lead star in huge movies, and I hear he's a rad dude. Good on him.

I just saw this reply, sorry.
I think it was the Red Dawn remake (freaking rubbish), they had bad guys that were...I forget, maybe Chinese. But then they needed to finish it. Guess who ponied up the money - Chinese. So then they edited all the insignia to be NK lol

Almost as mind blowing as the answer to: Bill Cosby and Ice Cube, which one makes family movies in the 2000s and which one was a serial rapist?

Bad guys were Norks. Since all the Chinese I know appear to hate the North Koreans more than they hate us, I figure they thought it would influence us pasty round eyed fools.

And nowhere near as good as the original…

How can you possibly do a remake of Red Dawn without a Mr. Teasdale?

Wife and I just watched this, both thought it was pretty good.

Kinda reminded me a bit of Edge of Tomorrow
 
Just finished it and my son is watching it now. It was pretty good.
 
I liked it, I really did. But there was something missing, and after thinking about it for a couple days, I still can't put my finger on it - which means it's probably a bunch of small stuff bothering me. But I'd give it a 5/5 and plan to watch again.

I did see this online which tickled me a bit:

A future soldier time travels into a gun store:

"I need a rifle to kill aliens that are mostly bullet proof."

Ok, you're probably going to want a larger caliber, probably .308, or for armor the added velocity of 6.5 Creed might...

"No, we only have 5.56."

Ok, no problem. You're going to at least want a longer barrel to keep as much velocity as you can.

"I was thinking like, 7 inches."

Ah, ok. If portability is a big concern you're probably going to want a super compact PDW style stock.

"I need the longest, heaviest stock you can find."

...Ok. Lets talk optics then, a 7" 5.56 is gonna be pretty limited on range so a simple red dot...

"I need magnification."

Oh, are these aliens hard to identify?

"They're gigantic."

Oh.

"I tell you what, go ahead and put a red dot at a 45. They look sick."

Will you ever use it?

"I will not."

....so, aliens huh? That sounds rough.

"They have incredibly heightened senses. They can smell blood from a mile away."

OH. Well, now the shorter barrel makes a little more sense. You're making room for a big suppressor.

"A what?"

A silencer. Especially if you're going to be shooting these in close proximity to other people, the concussive forces will be...

"No thanks. We'll probably shoot a dozen of these full auto in a concrete stairwell."

That's...I think you're making my point.

"We'll also be fighting in dimly lit areas."

You'll want a super bright weapon mounted light.

"No I said they'll be dimly lit. What's your dimmest light?"

How is this war going for you?

"We're losing terribly."

You forgot:

Let’s give civilians who have never touched a weapon a 10 minute training session on how to shoot an opponent in the neck and abdomen only on full auto, and drop them (literally) into a firefight where we expect them to conduct themselves like veteran operators for 7 days.

But it’s ok. Because they somehow managed to fit 300 rounds in each 30rd mag.
 
like i said elsewhere, they're 22wmr conversions with quad stack mags
it's the future, keltec and hera are having babies

but yeah all those "little things" are dead on. but it's still a fun flick. it was better than i expected, and better than the gun handling in most movies. there was a lady in a business suit that clearly knew her way around a rifle, and i want to know her backstory

We watched it last night. I might watch it again just to double-check…but I don’t remember a single reload. I remember at least twice that somebody transitioned to a handgun, but don’t think I ever saw a mag swapped in a pistol or rifle.

Usually you’ll at least get a couple in a movie, if for no other reason than to have somebody (unnecessarily) work the action of whatever they’re using.
 
Spoilers






We can access the alien ship anywhere we want to by cutting in with a saw outfitted with Adamantium blades.

i saw at least one empty mag at a crucial moment...
 
Yeah it got weird.
I was at work and they were watching it.
He was on a beach arguing with Yvonne Stahovski (So Hot!) and I was like “why don’t they just born and get it over with”?
And everyone was like “Bro! That’s his daughter!”
I was like “oh, thought it was his wife”
Still have only seen about 5 min.
 
So glad they got the subtle global warming reference in there. Now we have no one to blame but ourselves for the aliens waking up..
