An Amazon movie! That's a thing now! And this one happens tomorrow…war. It's The Tomorrow War with Chris Pratt and J.K. Simmons and a bunch of other of my favorite people! I liked it quite a bit more than I expected. You could say my first feelings were wrong. So here's everything right with The Tomorrow War!

I actually enjoyed the heck out of this movie. Massively underrated. I couldn't stop laughing with the "shit shit shit!" down the stairwell either because it feels like exactly what would happen if you plucked an untrained civilian out of their life and dropped them into a combat zone against crazy aliens.
I loved it too
I went into watching this movie blind without seeing the trailers and I was terrified by the build up to see the white spikes
I loved it…pleasantly surprised!
bro when he jumped into the white spikes for muri is my new wallpaper
We need more movies like this!!
I can just imagine that when the portal opens, the player just shoots the ball and instantly knocks out one of the soldiers lol
Underrated comment
Funniest comment I've seen 😂. Doing your cool rift jump, having your badass moment, and suddenly getting hit in the face because Neymar thought he still had a goal shot.
I was just wondering why they kept running towards the glowing purple thing. If you're not gonna flee in panic, at least to running TOWARDS it.
I think a real soccer player would probably run away, while still dribbling out of habit.
Hits a white spike.
"If I'm Gonna Die, I'm Gonna Die My Way!" -Dorian an absolute legend
Indeed a legend
A fuckin' legend.
Rest in power Dorian
The white spike trying to stop realizing he’s about to die from Charlie with a saw is lol
I bet this movie goes down as underrated in the future. Speaking of underrated, Everything Great About The Prince of Egypt would be fantastic.
A solid movie worth another viewing
Yes
I don't know how I can disagree with your first sentence so much, and yet fully endorse your second sentence.
The prince of Egypt isn't underrated at all though, it's a classic, it was acclaimed, a box-office success and people still talk about it with praise quite often, so it's not underrated, nor "undertalked" (can't find the word lol)
He’d need at least three videos to talk about Prince of Egypt. Best Dreamworks movie and one of the best animated movies ever made. Hell, I’d go as far as to say it might be one of the best movies ever made
For me the biggest twist in this movie was that the future soldiers were actually the good guys
I know right?! I was SURE that was the twist.
True
Very true
me thinking that was the twist was why i not only didn't watch the movie but also ignored all marketing for it.
Two things 1) The entire time while watching this movie i told my parents how it feels like it should be a video game 2) Also while watching this, i felt tense in every action scene that's how good this was. This movie was just so good at making you feel like you were there and made you feel the emotions the characters felt.
You’re a complete twat 🤣😂😂 this movie was the worst alien film ever!! Whole thing was pureee shit
@@raymondotoole2600 Calling a person a twat for voicing his opinion on a movie? I think you're the twat bud.
@@raymondotoole2600 bet you're the guy who leaves a bad review when he orders food at the restaurant that he doesn't want and then complains that he got the wrong food.
... like Terrans vs Zerg feel? i can't be the only one.
It was truly awful though....
I enjoyed this movie greatly, but there are two small things stand out to me. How he's honest with his daughter about where he's going and how they didn't have Dorian undermine Dan as the squad leader. They show us that they treat Muri as intelligent and not just a stupid kid, so him being open about being drafted felt right. They set up that Dorian is returning for a third time and they didn't go with the, I know more than the first timer, trope. Dorian does make his displeasure known, but he doesn't openly disregard Dan's orders.
Maybe Dorian was in military and felt Dan's orders are to follow, like second nature (survival instinct or something else) but Dorian still expressed his thoughts about the future war(team die vs team not die) as experienced warrior would in this case or so i think. Dan vs Dorian = No man left behind vs saving the world (a little dying in his own way), they are different views in different wars, can't blame Dan, but i still counted additional deaths for trying to save one(as a really amateur movie critic after seeing many movies, cinemawins and cinemasins i kinda see movies bit different than i used to but still appreciate them nevertheless) . Still, just recently watched the movie and the time travel still kinda gets to me ((especially the first minutes, like let the future live by present dying? I hope all the people from the present to the future were to help get that toxin as only people, as i understood, who were dead before that, could do the jump)(a toxin to the past saved it a little))
Are we just gonna talk about the conversation with his daughter ? Bad acting all round. Only scene that was funny was the “ shit shit shit” scene at the beginning. This movie could’ve been something great but they’re too funny to be serious actors. what an utter waste of a story. Made absolute no sense from a time travel perspective either. cringe moments between the father and the daughter. Not even real acting. Should’ve had Brad pit do the job as he’s done a zombie apocalyptic role already. Such a shame
@@raymondotoole2600 I'm not even gonna bother with the ridiculousness of your other points because they fall apart on their own without need of a counterargument, but the time travel in this movie is literally one of the simplest time travels there is. It's probably the easiest form of time travel to use.
That scene when he comes back and sees his younger daughter talking about making the mess in her bedroom hit me something different. Don't usually feel for emotional stuff but I've watched the movie three times with varying people and each time that hits me the same way.
"Don't usually feel for emotional stuff" Are... are you okay?
How did it hit you exactly? You don't have to talk about it and stuff if you don't want to, just curious. Be safe :)
@@andiran23 I have a similar experience. I think what he means is when watching a movie the fact that you know what you're watching isn't real and kinda "takes you out of it."
The most memorable thing about this movie for me was was at the end when they are fighting in the past against the Queen and they push it off a cliff. I was watching this with friends and said to their knowledge now that thing is just gonna heal itself and come back stronger. It was at that point that the thing exploded and I responded with "or maybe not" and as a group of like 6 people we all lost our $#!t laughing. It was legitimately me pointing out flaws in the movie because I was being that kind of a friend.
Don't feel bad. I said essentially the same thing watching it with my partner.
Well they dont fight in the past. They fight in "the now".
When I saw it fall, I said "If its face melting doesn't kill it, that will." Then it exploded. My Mum responded "Like that."
Just an FYI on the last scene the queen was injected with the virus in the mouth
thought the same - you know, the whole messing with time idea of causing what you were trying to stop etc - then boom - exploded alien - and the same ''ok, maybe not then'' lol
Aw, you skipped over one of the cutest parts when his wife helps him figure out why they couldn't find the source and she was like "who are you going to tell them came up with it?" And he's like "me, I'm definitely going to say I came up with it." 🤣
The only problem I had with this was that everyone had 8 million rounds per magazine but I get it’s not supposed to be realistic at the same time
They figured out time travel, maybe they invented some super magazine that teleports bullets into it?
@@kaylag5043 I mean maybe but it did show them reloading at some points🤷🏻♂️again it was just a small detail and I easily looked past it
Yup I just noticed it they should do a reloading scenes more often
Bad editing. They were using blanks so they had to reload no matter anyways. Pratt did alot of reloads and even switched to his secondary when he ran out of ammo in his mag.
I noticed that too, like in the stairwell, but if you pay attention, there's two people firing, and the shit shit shit guy definitely stops, and someone else picks up firing, then cut back to him and he starts firing again, I'm assuming it's because of them using cuts to make that scene feel for frantic, it cuts out some part that either A. Shows the switch between shooters, or B. Takes more time in the stairwell to give you the feeling that it's not just him shooting the entire time, but for the sake of the "rushed about to die panic" they just used to many cuts and didn't make it clear that it wasn't JUST one guy firing 300 rounds.
I didn’t expect to like The Tomorrow War. I thought it was gonna be some “tacky blockbuster action movie”, but it doesn’t realize that this movie is actually great and in a sense incredibly enjoyable to watch.
I haven't actually seen the movie yet, but unless there's some sort of edge of tomorrow (live die repeat) plot twist at the end. I don't see the logic in sending the past into the future to fight, since whenever the 'past' becomes the future, they'll be ill-equipped to deal with it, forcing them to go back in time to do the same. Rather than simply solving the issue in the past to be more prepared for the future.
@@TheRedAzuki Without spoiling much, they try to address this, but not really in a good way. But if this is a problem for you, I don't think you will enjoy the movie very much.
@@TheRedAzuki It's a bit dumb, yeah, but they still make something moving with it. The explanation is an important plot point but revealed veryy early, it's kinda nice idk. It's dumb but in a fun (and talking about PTSD, a bit) way!
Completely agree
@@TheRedAzuki think about this. There would be a first for everything. First time someone goes back in time. First time someone changes something in the past. First time encountering your past or future. This was the first time. They made sure to make it the last
You missed a self sacrifice win for at the end when JK tries to. Even though he doesn't die, he was still ready to
Then it should be at least 2 self sacrifices cuz they both try it at least once and then starts the fistfight with the whitespike
Muri’s personal helo crew too. They peeled off and still did their best to get them out of there. Also, I think her right hand man (forget his name) deserved some badass death on screen too.
@@brodieback9030 Greenwood. He's name was Greenwood I believe.
The way he says; "where are my twizzlers?" at 17:16 is amazing
Adorable!
I love how Dan had to see muri forgive him and give him a second chance for him to realize he needs to give his dad a second chance for the same reasoning. I don’t think Dan will leave his family anymore because of what he learned in the future. The future can affect the past in a way that it creates a new time line.
They really drove home the whole "hear them, but can't see them." First when the surviving Vet talked about "it starts with one and then you hear them all and it doesn't stop." to the overhead shot of the City Ruins where you can still see no White Spikes but you can clearly hear them, a LOT of of them and the noises don't stop. And of course, when we see the first White Spike up close. The slow zoom in, revealing the Creature and this utterly unsettling sound it makes by just breathing. That was properly fear inducing.
Their reveal is possibly _the_ creepiest reveal I ever saw in movie, game or anywhere else.
The most impressive horror creature reveal, right up there with the Bear from Annihilation
What helped it was that with the first proper reveal. It looked like an actual bit of practical effects, to me it appeared to be an animatronic of sorts, but the actual physical realism compared to the CG creatures we see in the rest of the film helps with the creep and horror factor.
@@Chinese.Spy.Balloon Yea the bear from Annihilation is the stuff of true nightmares
NO live creature can stand even today's weapons. Use auto shotguns with high explosive shells and all you have to do afterwards is scrape the bits off the wall. NOW, imagine 10 guys with this: kzhead.info/sun/irOohbqdsJOPknA/bejne.html or this: kzhead.info/sun/pNKro9qNmKCCmY0/bejne.html Don't even start with these: kzhead.info/sun/frCoY8efomt-lZ8/bejne.html and kzhead.info/sun/nNayipyhjYKeoJ8/bejne.html There is MORE much more. Poisons, armed robots, high power microwave.To me it was totally stupid weapon wise. If these kind of aliens would invade, countries could just sell hunting permits and make some money on the side. kzhead.info/sun/pc9-aJebamN8YIk/bejne.html Shooting high power rifle from point blank several times and the Queen is still alive? Same as Alien.
I actually liked that Dan, in the "original" timeline, left his family bc that's what his dad did. Maybe he isn't that type of person, but maybe his dad wasn't either? He said he changed after the traumas of the war, so maybe Dan changed with the failure of the mission too
I get the impression that in the future timeline, the time leap stuff hadn't happened. I think that it gets back to some central themes in the movie about war, cycles of violence, etc. Dan was changed by his time in the military. When he was in, he was a hero. He changed the world, and had respect. He could violently and directly solve most of his problems. When he got out, he was no longer a "hero". He was just a guy with no special destiny, teaching high school biology. In a way, both he and his father had lost their places in the world and solved problems with violence. It was only when he saw what path he had been on that he could change, and he was only able to forgive his father when his daughter forgave him.
@@ClockwerkMan I think it was because he wasn't able to create a massive drug empire.
I think he just became depressed and unhappy with his life after getting denied his dream job. His daughter said he was really unhappy, so I think it sort of just spiraled from that into… well, yeah.
@@ClockwerkMan This is meaningful. Easy to feel as though you have purpose as a soldier, and then to feel adrift when back in the civilian world.
There is also the effect of becoming your parent's when you grow up, repeating their mistakes, even when you are determined no to. Sometimes it is unavoidable thanks to the power dynamics of parent child relationships.
One thing I loved about the film was how it used color in it's scenes. So many sci fi series have sets that are dark and gloomy and it's refreshing to see sunny skies, tropical forests, fire and explosions look like they really do. The colors convey feeling and when we hear "don't go into the red smoke," we associate red with danger. So when we hear about a White Spike with a "red belly," we immediately know something is wrong. Super fun movie to watch!
Don't you like dark and gloomy
I wanna say that there is some subtle messaging on PTSD and what it does to the people who come back. there's a lot of great moments where this comes through, with Dan's initial talk with his father. the mentions from Muri that he changed after he came back. and the whole scene where he warps back. The whole scene is bleak and muted. he sees all the signs saying "best day ever", it feels like it should be a celebration... but he's broken inside after coming back, the look on Dan's face when he sees his daughter young again sells it all.
Broken, but not beyond the scope of healing!
''but he's broken inside after coming back, the look on Dan's face when he sees his daughter young again sells it all.'' - hat off to Chris Pratt - he nailed that perfectly. I shred a tear at that scene - a simple look on his face, no words just pure gut wrenched heart ache - fuck knows how many times they shot that scene to get the right look - but it WAS WELL WORTH IT.
When you brought up that they talk to each other it made me happy. I noticed this right away and I just love how this film got that right. An organism that hunted in packs would work as a unit as well if not better than we do. And we see this. They have the wounded fall back and replace them with fresh boys, they coordinate who attacks from what direction, even calling out threats. Someone drop them in Star Wars please, it would be hilarious.
why did i read orgasm?
I, too was impressed by the aliens coordinating their attacks. A nice touch
@@xcripsvxcripsv5461 Dirty mind probably
@Daniel Wong Limited resources and manufacturing, plus limitations on what they can bring to the future. High caliber rounds would've been smart, but seeing as they were suppose to receive training maybe they would've been told "Aim for the gut and 5.56 will work," which by the end we see does in fact work.
Also, the Whitespikes aren't eusocial (nor a hive mind), they behave similarly to Earth's hyenas and rats with dominant females.
I agree that I also had a ‘huh that was fun’ reaction to this film on the whole…. Except the scene where Pratt’s daughter is trying to welcome him home and he is clearly broken from the war. Imo that scene was incredible and the best part of the film.
I’d agree, but the stairwell is just a masterpiece.
Man, when they first revealed the White Spikes, it blew my mind. The camera panning up to a debris filled stairwell, smoke obscuring everything. You start to wonder if that pipe might be a part of the alien, but not, they would obviously have a jump scare. And then the creature reveals itself in all of its terrifying glory
I loved this movie, minus the endless magazines. The thing though that I’m disappointed you didn’t touch a bit more on was how heartbreaking it was after Muri died in the future, then Dan comes back seeing her as a little girl again, and explaining to his wife that he saw her in the future, worked with her and she died. That whole 10 minutes had me in tears.😭😭😭
Don't forget the sitting by her bedside for the night scene. That just melted my heart.
It would have been nice if they just used bigger prop magazines
The way the scene where she talked about his death was going I REALLY thought they were going to say he committed suicide.
Facts same
I thought it was going to be he died trying to fight the white spikes but his death actually changed nothing.
I think that would have been too rough for a PG-13. I was also DREADING that, since his character was a Veteran, and was relieved when it was anything else
@@Chinese.Spy.Balloon I normally avoid presuming authorial intent but it feels like suicide was in an earlier draft but somewhere along the way it was wisely changed.
I'd be happy to hear I was going to die in a car crash, cause that's easily avoidable by never getting in car again. Problem solved.
The stairway scene is perfect. Its scary, tense, nerverwrecking and a great wat to reveal the creatures
you missed out - FUNNY AS FUCKING HELLL - ''oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit'' - dam amazing scene - to go from scary, tense, nerve wrecking, the even more scary seeing the film - then just having ''oh shit oh shit oh shit'' while running away - just a damn awesome well made and extremely well thought out film - and the final product shines because of all those tiny details put together.
I liked how the bond percentage changed with how they interacted with each other. It was cool to have a visual representation of their relationship.
The family theme, running throughout this film is on point awesomnessness! Also, the fact the film tells you what happened before it happens is brilliant, as in the end fight scene the viewer was torn between the future they just witnessed and the new timeline that was just created.
To me Yvonne Strahovski is always a cinema win! Great actor and she showed the emotions of her character that really made you connect even with it's limited screen-time
She will always be Agent Sarah Walker to me, anything she's in I can't help but see her as her 'Chuck' character, just undercover on another mission! :D
@@thatdrewrivers In my case, she'll always be Hannah Mckay from Dexter. Anywhere I see her, I'm scared she's going to poison someone.
@@user-uq4gr5nl5o Yeah, I can see that. I remember her being damn good in that too. Though I feel sorry for those who will always see her as a wasted character in The Predator! lol ;)
@@thatdrewrivers And I can't see her as anything other than Miranda Lawson...
@@stcsuntzucreed I'll admit, I had to Google that one as I've not played Mass Effect, though people keep telling me I should :)
I think being confronted with your future sins can go a long way towards helping you avoid them. It's a common trope to meet your future self and be dissatisfied, and I prefer the takeaway where the encounter in and of itself changes that future.
How many of us would really really like to be able to travel back into our past self (keeping all that we have learned), in order to make a difference to our future self.
@@slcRN1971 Is that ... is that an offer? Cuz, I ... I would like a ticket, please!
My jaw literally dropped twice during this movie. The first was when they first teleport and you see what looks like hundreds of people freefalling to their death. The second was near the end when the Queen White Spike is smart enough to bight her own arm (tentacle?) off. I wasn't surprised she was smart enough to do it, but it caught me completely off guard because there's no way I would've thought to do that! Hands-down my favorite Amazon Prime movie so far.
I definitely liked the first part of chaos where it's like oh well ok shits already hit the fan and the last part with the queen drive home that they actually thoguht about the queen being smarter than the rest of the alien which just makes it all the better to have her rip of her own arm instead of dying by the poison being injected thier
This movie surprised the hell out of me. Went in expecting something typical and just okay. It turned out to me one of the coolest and most fun movies I've seen in a while.
17:09 is why my love for CinemaWins will never die; a pure moment of bliss and enjoyment of a scene is enough to like a movie, no matter what others think of it :) Moments like these make me remember enjoying a movie just because it made you squeal like a child is valid
The counter to this is that a movie is more than a single scene. Not that it's the case here, but you can acknowledge a bad movie still may have some great scenes in it and vice versa.
A Humvee without equipment And personnel loaded onto it is gonna weigh about 7,500 pounds or about 3,400 kilo. You have to assume it's at least another 1,500 pounds 680 kilo Of weight being added from people ammo weapons. In conclusion they're flipping about 9,000 or close to 3,100 kilo. For those interested that's about the equivalent of 3 Toyota Corollas. Even though they have momentum from running at them first that's not gonna be an easy thing to roll.
humvee's are somewhat top heavy though. i've seen 3 men who were not in great shape tip one irl. it took 7 guys, rope, and a camel to flip it back right side up.
From rewathing the scene, they seem to be no so much just ramming into them, but also trying to tip them over with their tentacles. Maybe that'd make the deed easier?
@@NoESanity What kind of environment was that on because you mentioned a camel making me believe it was most likely sand. Driving something like that on asphalt as was done in the movie means they have to move the center of gravity a certain degree over. However to do that that means shifting all that weight that direction even if they're top heavy you still have to shift a ton of weight. In this instance that's quite literal as well.
...Have you guys considered signing up for Death Battle?
elevation is relevant. They are also fictional super creatures.
The one thing I loved the most about this movie was the sound effects for the white spikes, they’re just so creepy cool!

I think the story for the original time line in the movie is that he cant get a job anywhere and falls apart as a person and that's why he leaves his family, but because of the draft he is able to get the job as a science teacher and that prevents him from falling apart
he was already a teacher in the Christmas party scene. but yes, as a teacher he feels unfulfilled when he could be a researcher. sadly this is a very common thing that happens to vets every day in the real world.
@@NoESanity no at the start of the movie he is not a teacher yet, he has a phone call that says that he did not get the job thats why he attacks the trash can
@@alexsosic6372 yes he is a teacher at the start. He gets the alert on his phone to be drafted during class whilst talking about the end of the world to his students. He didn’t get a job in the private sector which is what upset him at the party.
Massively underrated, never heard about it before seeing a quick clip on KZhead, good story, great action and finally some good family dynamics, which is lacking in most movies these days.
I have to admit. The scene where she talks about her "future" father and how he died. Strangely enough, I thought it was exactly what is was. A car accident. However, I figured with how scarred she looked it would of been like on her way to her college graduation or something. I just never would of imagine his "future self" to be the type of person he hated.. His father.
Can you go an “everything great about speed racer” movie? It’s campy and cheesy. It’s colorful and pushes for the anime vive a lot but it honestly does it really well. The actual racing and visuals are honestly really good. It’s artistic in the way it displays how speed feels about racing

I stopped this at 2:15 and went to watch the film. I had previously decided this wasn't a film I wanted to watch, but just 2 mins of hearing you speak about it got me to go watch it. I wasn't surprised by anything in the movie, but god was it a fun movie to watch regardless. I'm glad I stopped and went to watch it. Now i continue with your video!
I have watched this 5 times over the last month and a half and love it more every time! It’s one of those few movies I love enough to just play in the background. Constantine, WWZ, As Above So Below, and now Tomorrow War.
How about The Edge of Tomorrow?
Ever since I started watching your channel I keep finding myself noticing the tiny details during movies that I never appreciated before. I also finding myself saying things like "Politeness" whenever an onscreen character says something like "Thank you." Both are deserving of wins in my book.

Something I said when watching it with someone was. “Plus points to this movie by having the action parts in clear sunlight and the white spikes are very easy to see.” I love movies like Godzilla but that monster movie most of the action takes place at night. But the fact you can clearly see the white spikes makes it a bit better in a already great movie.
I agree it make it easier to see and enjoy what's going on and that they're also white so if they could be brighter or just reflect the sun more during they day giving them an advantage and with Godzilla being pretty much 99% black made that movie a living nightmare to watch and even rewatch cant see shit and its annyoing.
Dude, what hits hard is when Dan couldn't save his daughter from falling to her death, and then next thing you know. You came back home and boom, your daughter is there. Alive, young, and well. It's not a wholesome scene, but more of a chilling/haunting on. Like you've seen a ghost (That's my take on it lol)
This movie definitely had cool action scenes, and the alien design was awesome. I even liked the general premise of people from the future traveling back in time to recruit for a war (though I would have probably had the war being further into the future). Though the rest of the movie could have been a better vehicle for the good part. Fact that they don’t even try to get the rest of the world to help them in the really bugged me. I mean at least put the serum in for mass production. But not a bad movie to watch for the fun. P.S. We’re getting everything great about Godzilla vs. Kong next week. 🤗
I mean you are right its very American centric but I do believe at the start in the whole intro they say all the worlds militaries were sent in first and it shown various troops and most of them didn't come back. Honestly the movie is stupid fun but it was a bit heavy handed with the climate change "metaphors" since they basically double dipped it for the sake of it being a blockbuster film. Like the aliens on their own are a physical manifestation of climate change and it was pretty clear with the whole recruitment of their parents/grandparents since it was meant to be a war fought way before the kids even exist and having the whole world working together because it had a enemy they can unite against but nope they had to circle back to the present and say it was all started because of climate change.
When they get the serum and Chris Pratt goes back, the world had disbanded. Nobody was working together anymore because they lost hope, so they couldn't work together to make a bunch of serum
@@Himonly414 But they all know the White Spikes are gonna attack. Giving the war effort while they still had a time frame of the first attack is just stupid. Northern Russia should have been the most guarded, watched, and militarized area on Earth.
Well part of that is understanding how big of an issue that serum is in the end. The world was already on the brink of self destruction, so a sudden revelation that the White Spikes were already here would either cause utter unfixable chaos, or a political war of "who saves humanity first". That is probably the reason they couldn't reveal the serum and had to keep it on the down low due to how unstable the world was.
This movie is so underrated. It doesn’t deserve the type of hate it gets because it’s actually pretty interesting and the shots and CGI scenes are good

@@Technodreamer Though I love Pitch Meeting, the whole concept is to point out incoherences. It's not meant to be a critique. Even amazing movies seems silly in this show.
I enjoyed the hell of this movie and it surprised me! I thought I was gonna eyeroll it because why wasn’t this a blockbuster movie in theaters too?? It was great! I also really enjoyed this video, you made me laugh a LOT 😂😂
The scene with the hallway and the overhead axe, I really enjoyed when he missed and the creature kinda paused and made that "clop" noise with its mouth. Really gave me shivers
Genuinely laughed when you suddenly broke into that "father and daughter" song. 👍😂
Hah, the next vid looking likely to be Kong vs Godzilla judging from that shot. And Yvonne Strahovski is always a win in my books. She voiced and was the model for Miranda Lawson in Mass Effect. And she's a damn good actress.
So I feel like Dan leaving his wife kids is supposed to tell us how traumatic this war is, it completely changes a person as we see throughout the film
And help him gain understanding of why his father would have left, thats why he can forgive and go ask for help at the end. Understanding that war changes someone and that could be hin and or at least in that timeline made him realize he can give his dad a second chance and still choose not to leave
Biology time. The mouth and inside of the tails on white spikes are red. The reason we have red lips, mouths, and pinkish skin is because of our blood. Our blood makes it red. When we choke out we turn blue/purple or when we cut off blood supply. So then if the white spikes bleed bug gut color why are their mouth, “lips”, and tails red? Idk.
You nailed it, Lee; the Tomorrow War is just fun. It's exactly the type of well-done B movie I love.
I don't usually care much for the child parent relationship in movies but this movie hit me hard right in the feelings especially when he dived after his daughter to try and save her.
When you remember that Chris Pratt trained with former DEVGRU members for Zero Dark Thirty, the way he owns the roll as a soldier becomes alot less surprising
I just watched this movie with my dad last night and we were both on the edges of our seats. It was absolutely crazy to watch through and through. I loved it!!!
I actually really enjoyed this movie. Other than the tonal shifts from jumping around. It felt like there were missing pieces. Or it could have been split up into a miniseries or something. For example the last act felt like it could have been part of a sequel. Overall I had a LOT of fun watching it. And don’t really get the pushback.
Same I love the last act with that amazing final shot of the base and all the aliens in it. The only thing I had a hard time getting into was the first bit of an hour with the new recruits sacrificing themselves and it just didn't feel as impactful as later scenes
the only bit i didnt like was act 3 where they kill the aliens solo lol
I loved this movie. Didn’t expect to like it as much as I did, but truly a really great film in my eyes.
I think my biggest "issue" with this movie was actually the format of being a movie. I think a mini-series could have had extra depth to all the different acts and explored more of the world vs being told in exposition
I disagree this movie was perfect it felt like Starship Trooper meets Aliens and works perfectly.
@@KRYMauL except pacing, but sure.
@@davidedgeton1530 Watch Starship Trooper this movies pacing was basically identical.
True
Nah, it was fine as a movie. Not everything has to be a miniseries
13:11 Ok we need more moments like this in these videos! That was so wholesome!
I also say an EGA about Prince of Egypt would be welcome. Don't want you to feel forced into doing it, Lee. But that would make me happy.
The design of the aliens in this movie is AMAZING!
check out displacer beasts from dungeons and dragons
I love this channel since it shows us the movie in the best moments which is one reason I’m here and it’s short and he talks about good things in this move
I actually really like the concept of someone who promised themselves they'd never leave their family like their father did, but do because they will never understand the horrors of war until they experience it first hand
I was really expecting the future people to actually be trying to basically sell people to the aliens so they would leave. Or I was expecting the aliens to be trying to prevent humans from destroying the universe once they had time travel power.
We may not have gotten either of these, but they are both interesting concepts! Why not take them and make your own story?
Whoa... selling people from the past is a whole 'nother level of slavery.
@@TknoelTellsStories more like cliche and cheap
@@zenox2924 Basically every idea is cliche when you boil it down to its basic premise. It's how you present the details that makes it interesting. If you only waited to write a story until you had a truly unique idea, you'd never write anything at all.
@@TknoelTellsStories i mean the whole selling past people to the future aliens is idiotic too when if they have that mich power to force a timetraveling world to negotiate selling themselves they might aswell just clean house
Extremely hyped for next week. I usually don't get the teaser frames but I love Godzilla vs Kong that much.
Seeing the white spike just taking round after round is just another reason why we should reinvest in bolter technology
That little auto tuned bit you did. "Doing science together" fricking hilarious. Love your video man.
This movie completely blew me away! Chris Pratt’s my favorite actor, the story was great, and the White Spikes… wow. They’re the most fascinating, terrifying aliens since Xenomorphs arrived on the big screen. 10/10, I now have a 3rd favorite movie!!!
I want to see a movie showing dinosaurs fighting aliens
My son would love that. Honestly, the lack of dinosaur movies in general is ridiculous.
@@CinemaWins yeah
Kind of like how transformers did it
I'm writing a book series with aliens and dinosaurs in war so when I publish that l, adaptation hopefully. 🤞
@@CinemaWins jurassic park franchise is carrying that genre
Idea for the future: they could’ve gotten supplies to make more jump tech and get more weapons from the present or past depending on which side
That chopper pilot has some "leet" skills. Not only did he nail that rotor block and not immediately crash from the jolt, he also kept that thing in the air a pretty long time after it got all that live (literally) weight on it.
The thing I really love about this channel is that it retroactively gives me more enjoyment of movies that in the moment I was doing nothing but yelling at. I thought just about every decision in this movie was the worst possible decision, and I still do, but this channel is a highlighter for the better aspects
Since 'Battleship' is next: Sir, if you are not gonna 'Win' -"Let's drop some lead on those mother-", I am going to be very upset. Honestly, there may be tears!
I think it’s Godzilla vs Kong but I would love to see everything great about battleship
@@jacksondavis8940 Yeah he said it was something newer.
I think you might have missed the fact that while the female White Spikes was "sedated", whenever anyone got close, it would drool, meaning it wasn't sedated and waiting for the opportune moment. That's a detail win in my book.
I don’t think that many people noticed this. During the time travel scene where Dan is getting transported they actually say that something interrupted the teleport. I’m pretty sure this is why they were teleported hundreds of metres up.
I haven't seen this movie myself, but I really love those alien designs. They're honestly rather cute, I'd love to hang a print of one on my wall :0000
The mangled teeth made it look more realistic
I like that they actually use thier tentacles as a primary weapon
there's a shot of a group of aliens running and kinda playing on the beach haha
As a Floridian who watched this with a group of floridians. I can confirm that the portrayal of Miami was spot on
A fellow Floridian.
12:18 That foley work cracks me up EVERY time
I love how this movie completely embraces the idea of Overkill being Underrated.
Friend: Let's go into this dark, unexplored cave. Me, who's seen "The Descent": 15:42.
Admittedly, this movie missed the mark for me despite the interesting premise and stellar cast. Regardless, thank you for making this 'GREAT' video for those that liked it. I'd love to see you tackle SHIN GODZILLA someday! But hey, GODZILLA vs. KONG works too! :)
Agreed
What did you dislike about it?
@@luigijudah2696 They sent conscripts with guns with barely any training to the future to die. Two questions: why did the past ever decide to help the future, sacrificing millions of lives, when the people from the future could just go back to the past instead (I think there was something about people not being able to exist twice in the same timeline, but I would imagine earth in the future wouldn't even have a population of a million people and most people being young enough to exist in the old timeline. Second: conscripts with guns? Really? Yeah, that is gonna make a difference. That is like throwing billions of Gauls against the US armed forces. Sure, maybe they will win, but it is still incredibly idiotic to send them to war without any heavy guns, tanks, nukes and air support.
@@ivar1543 the people they sent were already dead in their time and didn't have or already head children. Avoiding disappearances in the future from people suddenly never being born. I liked that about the movie.
@@ivar1543 Simple answer: the future and present governments suck and they acted stupidly. They acted fast when it came to sending their own people into a meat grinder, but refused to act at all when there was a chance to prevent a future war. Which honestly checks out to how real world governments tend to behave, especially with current events. You have to consider the fact that there's not one moment in this movie where they try to make the world governments seem competent in any way. So the simple answer is simply incompetence. Regular people were able to achieve what the future and present governments could not, because they weren't stupid.
“He just hit an alien.. with a snow mobile.” Also Him: “Heheheh where are my twizzlers?”
I really liked this movie - but I think a better ending would have been if the Queen had gotten away and the reason the one in the future *really* hates Dan so much is because she remembers him from the present, and it was less of a typical "Hollywood ending" where everything actually works out. Like is if you re-watched it and suddenly notice that the Queen has a missing arm, you'd be like "oh damn!"
I feel like this movie is going to become a cult classic one day.
I really wanted the white spikes to fly and someone to say: OH MY THEY FLY NOW! THEY FLY NOW? THEY FLY NOW!
It took me for a loop when i realized Adult Muri is Serena Waterford from Handmaids Tale. Like these characters are complete opposites and makes me respect this actress more.
Robert's Black Rifle Coffee Company shirt definitely deserved a win!
I always love the positive energy that comes from these videos
I love the oh shit moment from the white spike at 16:35
Awesome movie - saw this in the theatre and the death fall scene was BRUTAL. now you’ve reminded me of all the reasons to watch it again.
When I first watched this it was my first “horror” movie. I may or may not have been traumatized
