The Tomorrow War **spoilers**
« on: July 03, 2021, 08:05:23 PM »
Wow- I was not expecting it to be that good. I've been told it was a horrible movie.
settle the issue was it entertaining or horrible

it took me a good 10 to 15 min's to stop calling Chris starlord but on the edge of my seat for the other 120 min's
yes, it is 2 hr 20 min's of escape

an odd mix of Alien and Independence Day

I thought it was a really good movie, surprisingly so.  Now, much like you, I was hearing a lot of disappointing responses to it, so maybe my expectations were lowered? But I thought it was a really good movie.  J. K. Simmons as the old father/grandfather role I thought was perfect.

"Conspiracy Santa"...love it!

agreed the casting was really interesting
Yvonne Strahovski (character un-named) was really good. She totally blew away any notion of Serena Waterford from Handmaid's tail.
and of course....



but I think the thing i really appreciated is the idea that innovation and science solved the problem
eta
and
the realistic portrayal of women, ie not arm candy with lots of skin. Emo without being stupid

I found it very entertaining.  I went in with no expectations, just hoping it wouldn't be too cheesy, it wasn't.
The father/daughter present/future/present storyline was very compelling.
Even though it was long, it kept me engaged and I wasn't looking at the clock.

I've been told it was a horrible movie.

I watched the IGN review and it completely slammed it.
