The Tomorrow War (starring Chris Pratt)

Do you like action movies that are wall to wall gun fights and suspenseful chases? Do you like if the story has so many plot holes you could use the script as a pasta strainer? Well, have I got the movie for you!!!

I heard this was great but I just can’t picture Bob Odenkirk beating anyone up. I’ll have to check it out.
I thought the same thing when my brother in law told me to watch it. Without giving anything away, they used him brilliantly in the role and the story unfolds perfect for him. He did a phenomenal job. Well worth the watch.

I drove home from our family vacation earlier today and was exhausted. I was in the mood for some mindless fun and I really like everyone in the cast from their other work, so I figured I would give it a shot. I really liked it! If I came in with anything but low expectations, I may have been disappointed, but it was fun, full of action, some pulls on the heart-strings, and a few good laughs. It’s not winning any awards for writing or dramatic performances, but if anyone liked movies like Starship Troopers or The Edge of Tomorrow, they’d probably like this too.

Yup. A really great popcorn movie that I'm pretty sure Pratt did to get The Terminal List green lit, lol.

Hell Comes to Frogtown, 1988 starring Rowdy Roddy Piper and Sandhal Bergman, better known as Valeria. On Tubi.

Watch it, it's everything a B movie should be. It's fun.

There's a lot of genuinely humorous moments. I don't want to spoil it by talking about it too much.

i know this is movie thread but quick question for an film/tv buffs

im watching a korea samurai type zombie show called Kingdom. half the acting is normal drama. but half the time the characterw are running around like idiots, flapping their arms, making stupid faces

is thats cultural thing? cause it comes across as ridiculous. but i get the feeling that this is a "serious" show thats im not supposed to be laughing at...

I remember watching that back in the day and being underwhelmed. The scene where the guy gets pulled over and is trying to get the woman to hide his coke stash got a laugh from me, but I found a lot of the rest of the movie to be meh.

It's possible that my dislike of Christian Slater is part of the reason that I didn't enjoy it.

East Asian movies have always tended towards a different acting style, closer to original Western movies. Filmed more like a stage play, with body language and facial expressions highly exaggerated for the audience in the back to still be able to follow along. It's not really about conveying emotion through subtle visual cues.

Just watched Tarantino's filmography except for Once Upon A Time.

I'd forgotten how good some of those movies really are.
