Sci-Fi and Fantasy Thread - SPOILERS Part Two

[The Madrigal]

Not sci-fi but has anyone seen Fear Street 1994 on Netflix yet. Heard from a few people about it and there was no inbetween, they either said it was great or total trash.

 

[Striiker]

"The Force Awakens" is actually worse the 23rd time you see it.

ALL OF THE SEQUELS ARE FAN MADE NON-CANON GARBAGE AND YOU CAN'T CHANGE MY MIND

THEY'RE THE KEVIN HAYES OF MOVIES
THE TKACHUKS OF FILM
THIS THERRIEN OF CINEMA

I don't know what you are yelling for. I knew all of that when you were still in diapers.

Trash, but kinda fun. I’m definitely slightly more interested than indifferent

 

[sa cyred]

Islington was awesome with his debut trilogy. I was enthralled with all the books.

They are fantastic and don’t get as much fan ware as the guns but he will get there for sure

Please, I beg you, stop doing this to yourself.

 

[Lord Defect]

I liked the tomorrow war. I wouldn’t have if I had payed to watch it.

Why do you do this to yourself?

I really wanted to like The Tomorrow War, but I didn't, which is really f***ing irritating. What a dogwater movie.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

LIKE JESUS CHRIST ON A CRACKER, HOW f***ING STUPID ARE ALL THE HUMANS IN THAT MOVIE? THEY DESERVE TO BE ERADICATED!

Spoiler: tomorrow war

"Yo dawgs, we are from the future. In 30 years an alien race will appear and begin exterminating humanity extremely quickly. We are almost extinct."

"Oh, that's terrible. How can we prepare? What should we do to get ready for their arrival?"

"Prepare? f*** THAT NOISE, SEND US ALL YOUR COMPLETELY UNTRAINED MIDDLE AGED CIVILIANS AS CANNON FODDER!"

 

[Lord Defect]

Spoiled

The space time continuum for that movie had then restricted to only being able to send people who died before being the time they are sent into the future.
I assume they started with trained, then able bodied males, then able bodied females, then anyone that fits the description.

Spoiler: tomorrow war

Which is fine. Spend 30 years preparing instead of sending a fat man in a chef suit.

And anyway, they said IN THE MOVIE that the estimated population is less than 500,000 in 2051. That's like 99.9999 percent of humans. You could pretty safely send just about anybody.

Spoiler: tomorrow war

It's also got some of the most heavy handed setups of all time, which is doubly annoying since they had a few that were done well.

They had the tv in Chris Pratt's classroom saying something about climate change and ice melting or something. That's good.

Then they had the whole class of children yell VOLCANOES and I could only wonder how that would come back up later.

When Pratt goes to visit J.K. Simmons, they focused on the C-130 on the runway as he drove by. That was great.

Then J.K. Simmons goes "HEY DIDJA KNOW MY EMPLOYER HAS A C-130" about 2 minutes later.


And so much other stuff just falls apart if you think about it too much. Like the doohickey they put on people's arms to teleport them. Why do they need a whole hangar and equipment to transport people to the future, but the armband will send them back automatically? (and that's only if it determines if they're still alive. What happens to people who get their left arms blown off? We saw plenty of amputees at the PTSD meeting. Are they just stuck in the future?)

Imma stop here, we should probably spoiler tag it or dm convo.

Yeah,I'll leave it there. I don't want to be the guy who tells somebody that they shouldn't like things.

That being said, the Pitch Meeting about the movie was brilliant, as usual.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Not sure what happened to spoilering your shit in here. Spoiler your shit in here.

That was enjoyable

 

[ajgoal]

It really seems like the streaming services are struggling with movies. Which has me very worried for Old Man's War.

 

[Tripod]

I heard it was a "Starship Troopers" like level movie.

 

[Rebels57]

I heard it was a "Starship Troopers" like level movie.

But Starship Troopers was a pretty brilliant subversive satire. People just didnt realize it at the time. Now its a cult classic.

Shit has been spoilered. Sorry about that, I got caught up ranting about something that annoyed me.

But Starship Troopers was a pretty brilliant subversive satire. People just didnt realize it at the time. Now its a cult classic.

I find it hard to believe that people didn't get Starship Troopers was satire. They laid it on pretty thick.
