The Tomorrow War

The implication was that the whole world was supplying soldiers, it’s just they didn’t show anybody else.

I’ve got to side with Phibes on this. We turned it off an hour into it.
It’s like they decided to mash up Independance Day, Edge of Tomorrow, and Interstellar…

Having thought about it a bit, the disappointment for me was the lack of humour. It was a waste of Chris Pratt. Fighting ridiculous aliens from the future should not be a serious business.

It was like watching a SyFy production with a bigger budget. I know that they have already approved 2 more, but ugh. I suppose I will power through the second half one night…

Ah-nuld wasn't available.
Some interesting figures...Amazon paid somewhere around $200M for this movie and it was the most watched premiere on any streaming service. Therefore, sequels.
They are currently poised to spend $1B on a multi-year LOTR series.
The big money is coming out to play.

I didn't think this movie was a patch on The Witcher on Netflix, The Expanse on Amazon, or the Marvel stuff on Disney+, all of which I've enjoyed.
I really hope they do a good job with the LoTR universe - I've been a big Tolkien fan since I was 10. It would be very easy to make a mess of it.

I wonder if they'll follow any canonical story. The characters or plot lines don't need to come from any canon, they just need to avoid contradicting canon.

They should have a fair amount of freedom, as it's set in The Second Age. Presumably they'll dip into the Silmarillion for ideas - there's a ton of potential material in there.
