"Tomorrow's Battle"-Before I started watching this movie, I knew it must be a sci-fi popcorn movie with no plot to speak of, so I didn't expect too much.
After all, the U.S. seems to feel uncomfortable if they don’t shoot one or two similar blockbusters every year. The story is nothing more than the U.S. military chug, da da da, biubiubiu, rumble against aliens, and finally individual heroism saves the world, such as "Battle of Los Angeles", "Edge of Tomorrow", "Super Battleship", "Independence Day" and so on. From the title to the introduction, from the poster to the trailer, the movie "Tomorrow's War" has an unremarkable and familiar feeling, so no one cares too much about the plot, as long as it is not particularly brainless. Anyway, everyone They are all for the popular monster-killing scenes and shocking audio-visual effects.
It’s just that I didn’t expect that the brainlessness of this movie far exceeded my expectations. No wonder IGN only gave this movie 3 points (out of 10 points), Metascore scored 45 points, Rotten Tomatoes Freshness Index 52%, IMDB scored 6 points, and the passing score is not very good... Ah, if humans are really like The movie is so stupid, then this earth deserves to be destroyed, tired, really.
Let's review the plot of this film... After listening you will know how outrageous it is.
At Christmas 2022, our protagonist Dan is about to change his job for a new job, even though he is born Peter Quill I, a star from the Spartantoy family, a demigod, a dinosaur trainer, a galaxy Guardian of the whole territory, the mechanic on the Avalon spaceship, the Star Lord of the Avengers... But these famous titles seem to be unwieldy. He still failed to get that favorite offer, and was rejected by the boss. . What effect did this unsuccessful application play on the whole movie, I don’t know, it’s how it started anyway.
Because his career is not going well, Dan can only honestly accompany his family and friends to open a Christmas party. Just as the whole world is watching the World Cup finals while drinking small wine and eating hot pot, the Brazilian team is preparing for the final lore and Yixue’s 1-7 shame. A group of mysterious soldiers suddenly descended from the sky and appeared on the World Cup. An important news was announced in front of the global live broadcast: "Redisian Arrows, hello fathers and villagers, I have come through the wormhole 30 years later. To the modern soldiers of the future, all humans on the earth will be wiped out by aliens in 30 years, so everyone must prepare from now on to eliminate aliens and defend the earth!"
The soldiers of the future have opened the time channel, allowing humans to travel freely from 30 years to 30 years ago. Since humans will almost die in 30 years, the soldiers of the future will enlist in this era and let the people of 2022 go to 30 years. After crusade against aliens.
At this time, the theory of time-traveling appeared unexpectedly in the movie. In order to prevent the time paradox from appearing, the soldiers sent 30 years later, if they have died before 2050 (so that they will not let themselves and In the same way, people sent 30 years ago in the future must also be people who have not been born in this era.
It sounds quite reasonable, but the biggest bug is still unavoidable, that is, the time paradox still exists-although I can't meet myself anymore, I can meet people who know myself! Later Dan saw his grown-up daughter. She had a good spoiler and said that Dan would die in a car accident in seven years. Then Dan knew about this and would definitely avoid accidents in seven years. It is still alive in 2050, the world line should be different logically, and the setting of this movie obviously cannot reasonably explain this basic grandfather paradox.
Well, anyway, let's not mention this kind of brain-burning time paradox. After all, every movie involving the theme of crossing is inevitably some bugs, not to mention this movie is a monster movie first, and a science fiction movie second. Due to the existence of this crossing condition, most of the soldiers sent to the future are old, middle-aged, or even old. Some of these people are blessed, and some have no power to bind chickens. Anyway, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. I don't know why we should send such soldiers to support the future. Most of these people even have serious military training. I haven't accepted it, and temporarily catching the ducks on the shelves, wouldn't it be a pure gift? The young and strong of you in the future will not be able to beat the aliens. What is the use of sending these people to die?
All in all, this battle plan with a thousand miles away, courtesy, and affection is quite bizarre when you think about it carefully. With this effort, it would be better to spend 30 years researching high-tech and preparing to defend against aliens, but in any case, the story is like this. It's acting, we can't talk deeply about it. So the protagonist Dan and the passerby ABCD didn’t even have any training, and they didn’t even know what the aliens looked like (the movie explained enigmatically, saying that it was because they were afraid to announce the appearance of the aliens that caused public panic... But this The helpers are going to fight soon, don’t you tell them? Even what are the characteristics of aliens, and where their weaknesses are not clear. This is still a ghost), so the guy was hurriedly caught Sent to the future 30 years later.
The story passed, but the coordinates of the hapless guys to the future were inexplicably messed up. It was supposed to be sent to the ground more than one meter high. As a result, the protagonist and a group of people fell directly from the sky, and more than half of the soldiers. Just land it into a box, don't ask me why the transmission suddenly went wrong, or that sentence, the plot needs it, you know.
Then I don’t know why in such apocalyptic days, there is a well-maintained swimming pool on the top floor of the high-rise building. Those European emperors who did not fall to death, that is, the protagonist and his little partner Halo, happened to fall into the pool. It was a fluke to escape. When I watched the Olympics a while ago, I deliberately learned that the impact of the 10-meter platform diving into the water is very strong. The swimming pool under the platform must be at least 5 meters deep to reach the standard. Dive into the 1.8-meter standard swimming pool at full speed and nothing happened. It is really steel and iron. Compared with those Olympic champions, those Olympic champions are weak. It is said on the Internet that diving from a high altitude is as powerful as shooting on a concrete floor. After watching the movie, I understood that those are all pseudo-science.
After the water is over, the people are also sober. The protagonist and the group received a task to rescue a group of researchers trapped in the research institute. If the plan fails, the humans will be cold. Such an important task is actually handed over to this group of casual soldiers who are not good at using guns. The IQ of the high-level military in the future is really reborn Zhuge, which is impressive. So the protagonist went to the research institute on foot to save the researcher. Don’t ask me why the aliens have attacked the earth for 3 years. Such an important research institute should be located in the downtown area of Miami, can’t it be located in the heavily guarded base camp in the back? ? Hush~Don't guess the mind of the screenwriter.
Then there was a standard encounter. The protagonist group discovered that all the researchers in the institute had been destroyed, and then the group of people named Bai Changding was ugly and totally ugly, as if they were copied and pasted from other alien monster movies. The alien was killed out of the building. I have to say that the filming of this part is still quite horrifying and nervous. It smells like a horror movie. I like it. But why are aliens called Baichangnails? Because these monsters have long white claws, and their tails shoot nails... Well, it's a simple and easy to understand nomenclature.
The protagonists started to run, rushing and bumping against the monsters. The whole picture was full of a sense of video game. During the escape, the friends were killed and injured one after another. Finally, the bomber appeared in time and bombed the entire city. I understand that there has been no development in human military technology in the past 30 years. The guns used by soldiers, the planes flying in the sky, and the Hummers running on the ground are exactly the same as modern ones. I heard that this movie is called "Tomorrow's War", I thought Can see some imaginative high-tech weapons, but there is nothing in the end. Therefore, the setting of this movie to travel through time is just to round out the ending of saving the world, and the actual results are not futuristic and sci-fi at all.
In the process of escaping, a little moth appeared again. When the bomber was about to fly, a fat man in the protagonist group accidentally fell from the passage, so Dan, a former professional soldier, jumped down regardless of orders. To rescue him, the nickname "I can't save my partner", it ended up taking the lives of other people several times. But he just met this fat man and didn't say a few words at all. Can this be considered a partner? And there are so many passers-by ABC hanging on the way to escape, he can't control it, but when he gets here, the Father's heart attack suddenly drags everyone back? This wave of operations really can't figure it out.
After escaping from Miami, Dan woke up to find that he had come to base A and met his daughter 30 years later. At this time, her daughter was already a colonel of the Future Army. I don't know if there is any superior, but it didn't appear in the movie anyway. This kind of setting where you discover that your daughter has grown up just after leaving for a while, is actually very easy to perform plot effects that are very crying-such as "Interstellar", but the acting skills of Xingjue are obviously not the same as Matthew McConaughey. The rivalry of the reunion of father and daughter seems a bit embarrassing no matter how you look at it, so let’s not mention it. Anyway, the two are going to a new mission. The goal is to capture a mother alien. With the effective toxins of the mother aliens, there is hope that humans can eliminate the white spikes.
The process of arresting the mother alien is all kinds of tension and full of slots. In the course of the battle, a group of soldiers used a rope to pull the mother alien out of the cave with their bare hands? Then manually stuff it into the iron cage? ? This operation is really amazing. I can think of more than ten more clever solutions, such as placing an auto-sensing iron cage at several exits of the cave, and then throwing explosives in another cave to drive the aliens in. In the cage, for example, first spray a large amount of anesthetic gas, and then the soldiers wear gas masks and go down to capture... etc. Once again, I wonder if the people on earth have been paddling and fishing in the past 30 years. If we can study out what combat robots, highs and so on, can we humans be bullied by aliens into such a force? Yes, I finally sacrificed a large number of soldiers and a few helicopters-it doesn't matter, anyway, in the action movie, the only role of the helicopter is to crash and explode, creating big scenes-Dan and his daughter finally captured the mother alien, both By the way, I talked to the beach. My daughter told Dan about a lot of things that would happen in the future. Dan smiled and said that I have a friend named Doctor Strange. He can also predict the future, but he doesn't like spoilers like you.
Returning to base B in the middle of the sea, Dan and his daughter began to study the mother alien and restrain its toxins. The security measures for the mother alien are a few large iron chains and a tube of tranquilizer every hour. I really look down on people. You think Is my old lady an elephant in the zoo? On behalf of the aliens, I strongly condemn and protest! At least cut off the alien’s limbs, cut off the tail, and tie a few bombs around the neck. If you dare to make any movement, you will directly pass you back to the home planet. Anyway, they just want to study the physical resistance and resistance of the mother alien. Regarding the toxin, it's okay to give it a whole half-dead life, right? In short, it is the need of the plot. Dan and his daughter put such a big time bomb on their minds, and Yang Lai Lai began to research 100% matching toxins. Here we can see the huge base, the scientific research funding is so lacking, there is only one computer running the program! If more computers and more scientific researchers operate and develop toxins at the same time, there will be no future encounters.
The next day, the toxin was researched out. At this time, the mother alien did not know why she suddenly awakened. Maybe this is the sixth sense of a woman. It knew that it was in trouble, so it shouted and summoned thousands of people. Starman's friends attacked the sea base. This roar scared me. Of course, I was not scared by the ugly appearance of the monster. The main reason was that the toxin contained in the glass tube was shaken to the ground and broken. Such an important toxin was actually held by Dan's hand all the time. It's not looking for another safe box to put away, it's really life-threatening obsessive-compulsive disorder. A cloud-piercing arrow came to meet with thousands of troops and horses. The fighting power of aliens is like a cockroach in the south. The three-line combat capability of sea, land and air is fully expanded. The sea base instantly falls. In the end, after a bitter battle, his daughter died heroically. Dan returned to modern times with the toxin, and the unexplained time-traveling machine also closed the passage, and human beings can no longer use the machine to return to the future 30 years later.
Normal movies should basically end here. Anyway, the atmosphere is almost the same. Although it is more routine and moderate, the protagonist returns to the modern age and researches and develops toxins to save the future of the earth. The ending is reasonable. But this movie is not. The 40-minute expansion at the end was simply a reduction of IQ, which made the rhythm of the whole film become strange. Just after the vigorous future war, the ending suddenly became an Arctic adventure film. Fighting for the family, I really don’t know. What should I say.
Dan took the toxin and returned to the present. As the last batch of war heroes who returned to earth from the future and grasped the key information about human life and death, the father of the future army commander Forrester, the toxin and important information he had obtained through all his hard work was unexpectedly Not being valued by the government at all-is this reasonable? ? Although from the perspective of the epidemic, we have long known the inaction and nonsense of the U.S. imperialism, the degree of exaggeration in this movie is simply jaw-dropping. So the protagonists can only find the source of the aliens landing on the earth by themselves, and kill the monsters in the cradle. There will be no crisis 30 years later.
At this time, through a little volcanic ash in the alien paws brought back by his teammates from the future, Dan, with the help of junior high school students, located the origin of the aliens, which was in a certain ice layer in Russia. Here we won’t talk about how unscientific the discovery process is. Then the volcanic ash a thousand years ago can actually find the exact location of the aliens. It turns out that these aliens have not washed their hands (claws) for so many years. What I want to complain about is that the soldiers in the future have dealt with aliens for three years, and none of the countless scientific homes in the future and modern can investigate and analyze the bodies of aliens and study their origins. Instead, let a junior high school student just look at it. It's not surprising that this earth will be destroyed by these aliens in just a few glances, what a stupid human being!
Knowing that aliens actually descended on the earth a long time ago, they are now frozen in the ice of northern Russia, and after more than 20 years will thaw and begin to destroy the earth, Dan has been a Vietnam War veteran, and knows how to repair planes and fly planes. With the help of the discordant father, he led his friends to kill Russia, um-it was a veritable ice-breaking journey. It didn't take much effort, they found the alien spaceship under the ice layer, and I once again gave a thumbs up admiring the junior high school student Chubby.
An even more suffocating operation came. The protagonists all saw the spacecraft and found the origin of the aliens. At this time, they reported the situation to the government, let the country take over, and dropped a nuclear bomb over or something, the earth would be peaceful. But it may be that the high-level IQs in the movie are too mentally retarded. Coupled with some conspiracy theories (such as worrying about which country is monopolizing alien technology or something), the protagonist group said that it does not trust the country very much, so the protagonist is in the hands and arms. Under the circumstances that were not enough, I decided to bravely break into the aliens' lair, relying only on a few of them to destroy the aliens, and never thought that if they missed their hands, wouldn't it be a key to accelerate the demise of the earth's people. Anyway, there is still more than 20 years for the aliens to unfreeze. Why can't we prepare more fully? After thinking about it, the biggest reason should still be the four words of omnipotence- come .
The spacecraft that can travel through space and cross the universe to the earth are cut apart by the protagonists effortlessly. Are you ashamed of the aliens? Then, as soon as the movie was almost over, the protagonist group hurriedly rushed into the alien spacecraft and found the white long nail sleeping in the egg. The monsters in the spaceship and the worm eggs, seeing this scene, "Alien" said it was respected. Dan and a few people took out the syringes and sprayed the aliens in the eggs. At this time, the importance of manpower was shown. If a few more people can come and spray all the eggs at the same time, there will be no The back unfolded. Then the protagonists finished playing half of the eggs, and the aliens in the eggs died crying and howling. They were all right for a while, and they did a good job. I beg you to stop celebrating. Please go and put the other side first. Let's talk about it after the egg has been given medicine!
Sure enough, all the eggs on the other side burst open in an instant. As soon as the white long nail, which had been sleeping for a thousand years, escaped, there was no need to regain physical strength and adapt to the earth's air, and directly activated the killing mode under the blessing of getting up. Then there was another escape and shooting. The little black brother sacrificed himself and exploded the spaceship, leaving only a female alien to escape. In the last white snowy wasteland, Dan and Dad began the feat of singles out the alien queen.
The scene of two veterans fighting against a mother alien in the snow reminds me of the fond memories of playing "Monster Hunter World: Icefield" and holding a light crossbow against the ice dragon, although this movie was not very well shot. , But if it is made into a video game, I should still support it. After a fight in the snow, the Alien Empress was blinded and can only rely on her sense of smell to judge the position of Dan and Dad. In fact, there is basically no fighting power, but Dad still has a whim and wants to show off. With Bo's magical operation, he cut off his hand, intending to lure the alien queen to jump over, and fell down the cliff together to make a heroic sacrifice.
Dan was angry at this time, "Let me have my exclusive experience!" He roared and rushed to the Alien Queen. She was originally a middle school teacher who had been retired for many years, and he was still a little blessed, but at the last moment, his fighting power suddenly ran away. Xingjue, who had turned back to the reunion, actually avoided the frontal attack of the alien queen continuously, and then Bangbang punched the alien queen with two punches, and at the same time, he also stunned me. "Datis, it's time to drink the medicine!" He poured the toxin into the alien queen's mouth without saying a word. The female alien immediately rotted and fell off the cliff to his death. The world was finally peaceful.
In the end, the people on Earth avoided the tragic fate of being wiped out by aliens 30 years later. The protagonist’s family also broke the barrier and reunited with a very standard happy ending, but many questions remain unanswered-such as those who want to invade the earth. Where did the aliens come from? For example, those born after 30 years who have not returned to the future can only live in the modern world, and then will they have paradoxes when they met their childhood; for example, 30 years later, when humans are With the ability to travel through time, will the earth become chaotic because it can travel through time, triggering various time-space crises?
Just judging from the current reputation and box office, it seems difficult for this movie to make a sequel, so it doesn't make much sense to be true to these questions. It can only be said that this film is really a good setting to travel through time and save the future. In the end, it was made into a mediocre sci-fi movie, full of details and rhythm problems. The monster design is quite perfunctory and fair. The mother is completely indistinguishable, even the BOSS-level elite monsters and the miscellaneous monsters can’t be distinguished. You can forget it at a glance. The actors’ acting skills are also mediocre. As a large production costing more than 200 million US dollars, the entire movie There is not even a big scene that makes people feel amazing. I wonder where the money has been spent.
"Star Lord" Chris Pratt has a good relationship with blockbuster movies in recent years. "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Jurassic World", "Space Traveler" and this "Tomorrow's War" are just his gossip. After a lap, it seems that they are all playing the same role. A warm guy who is usually funny but reliable at critical moments. If he wants his movie to bring new surprises to the audience, perhaps as an actor, he needs to have a realm first. Break through it.
