Official Sci-Fi Movie Thread: Tomorrow War Talk ITT

I'm certain I've said this before but if they'd called this "Bad Actors Kill Bugs for Two Hours" I'd have loved it but since it's called Starship Troopers, this movie is sacrilege.

 

jason isaacs is the new star trek captain http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/li...s-discovery-captain-983868?utm_source=twitter

 

Of course they're rebooting the Matrix

 

Need a new Jamin Winans movie imo. The 2 I've seen were fantastic. Amazon Prime has some solid indie sci-fi options fwiw.

 

oh hell no

 

looks pretty awesome. Has the potential to be dull but it looks like it will be good.

 

SIAP but

 

Cannot wait for this

 

Yeah that looks amazing.

 

strong 5th element vibes

 

Writer of Munich and Forrest Gump hired for Dune. Very good news.

Do I have my dick out? Probably...

 

There's no probably for me. Definitely.

 

I've never seen blade runner. That needs to change

 

I bet this is better than the original Blade Runner

 

everything about that looks incredible

cast
score
aesthetic

can't wait

 

do i smell a hot take in the works?

 

Not familiar with Thrasher? He gives Gosling takes on the reg.

 

That looks as perfect of an update as Fury Road was for Mad Max. I can't fucking wait to see Villenueve's Dune.

 

Not really. I think BR is cool...just ahead of its time to the point where it doesn't hold up terribly well...like the first Terminator.

 

And I think the freedom to work outside of the confines of PKD's book could allow for a richer plot.

 

apparently jason isaacs isn't the captain?

 

Straight to svod, but I think cbs is using linear to promote the first ep

 

the fact that it's exclusive to cbs's streaming service in the united states probably means it's doomed but at least there will be one season

 

new star trek premieres september 24 and the second episode will be immediately available on cbs's streaming service

 

Their service is $5.99/month.

I'll be DVRing the Orville and waiting on Trek to come out to a streaming service I already pay for.

 

Fuck CBS for using Star Trek to bait people into paying for yet another streaming service. Netflix paid for the budget of the show since they are showing it outside of the U.S and Canada, but CBS's production team has fucked everything up to a degree that Netflix has reportedly threatened legal action. The main writer Bryan Fuller, who is a huge Trekkie, was forced out after arguing with the CBS head honcho about how his micromanagement was destroying the validity and accuracy of the show in regards to Star Trek canon. He has reportedly claimed that the show's new plot is nonsensical, borderline unwatchable They claim the show is true to the "Prime" timeline, but everything looks like a shitty J.J Abrams reboot of the "Kelvin" timeline. I love Star Trek, but i'm not the least bit excited to watch.

 

Looks like I won't be watching. I hope it fails. Fuck cbs

 

Explain the True v Kelvin timelines pls

 

The Romulan ship going back in time to Kirk's era at the beginning of the 2009 movie changed the timeline.

 

one of the side effects was that somehow kirk went from wash-out to captain of the enterprise in like 2 years

 

I pretty much ignore that timeline, and it didn't lessen my enjoyment of Beyond.

 

Beyond washed the taste of that dogshit movie into darkness out of my mouth

 

tried to watch the new Alien movie. Couldn't get through it. Will maybe try again tonight.

 

Anyone see The Girl with All the Gifts ?

This doesn't seem original at all, and we've all seem gamer movies turned real life twist, but I'll still watch the shit out of this one. At least they didn't insult all of our intelligence by actually making it a twist, and gave it away right in the trailer.

 

Beyond was better than Into Darkness by a lot, but it wasn't really a Star Trek movie. They've all basically become "look at how much shit blows up" types of movies; I pine for the philosophical elements of Trek to make a comeback.

 

Beyond was much more of a ST movie than the previous 2.

 

for the most part the movies aren't very philosophical. the undiscovered country and insurrection are maybe the only two, and only one of those is any good.

 

i did like that god turned out to be an asshole in star trek 5 though

i'm also fine with paying $6 a month to watch new star trek

 

Honestly, just give me a Colm Meaney/Chief O'Brien as an old man spin off tv show and I'll be happy. "I was using coil spanners and rerouting EPS conduits when you were in diapers!"

 

First reactions to Valerian are out

 

Spielberg showing off some Ready Player One stuff at comic-con

I assume a proper trailer will appear soon as well

 

Nice. I have such high expectations for that film
