The Tomorrow War (scene, family, picture, watched)

[jim9251]

Watched this on Prime last night very entertaining. Interesting concept.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9777666/

A family man is drafted to fight in a future war where the fate of humanity relies on his ability to confront the past.

And a wasted concept to get the pictures of old "soldiers" in street clothes fighting. The time compression of the first arc of the movie took me out and I was left to saying this scene came from Predator 2, this one from World War Z and this one from Aliens.

So, they have "time machine" capable of moving large biological mass across the time - and still use tactical shotguns and sub-machine guns? Sort of like early Star Track with Tommy guns and AK47s? Seriously?

Every time I see the title, I'm reminded of Joe Haldeman's amazing SF novel The Forever War...which would translate to a vastly better movie.

In the end it played like the future army just needed the draftees as live bait to lure the aliens away from themselves

[NJ Brazen_3133]

this is combination of Edge of tomorrow with Starship Troopers.

They have been working on a screenplay of that for years.

I know. But unless they have a team that really gets the book, and they throw some nice money at it, it could end up looking like a SyFy movie. It's not something that can be covered in 100 minutes.

Ha ha ha...I laughed out loud when I read this. Indeed, if they have time machines why do they need to fight with last-century machine guns? Nuclear bombs could be used too. Moreover this is the story of only 30 years ahead of our time, so within only 30 years humans have developed a time machine? WOW!

Atleast take a time period of 100 years ahead
