Please put an end card or at least say good bye at the end of the video. It feels like I run into a wall with your sudden ends. Other than that loved the video! Thanks.
You guys missed some "references"! Every person in Tomorrow War has a nose which was a subtle reference to the movie Casino. In Casino, the character Ginger, played by Sharon Stone, also had a nose.
@@alexeypopov314 There is one "point" very much hidden... Demonstrations against killing innocent people by sending them in future and stealing their 30 years is similar demonstrations against lockdowns... And based that movie's logic: they are "BAD" demonstrations... I think whole movie creation had purpose to make sure that WE GET IT!
Number 27: In The Tomorrow War, the future soldiers arrive on a soccer field. This is a slight nod to the Goal! movie trilogy starring Kuno Becker which also had soccer fields appear predominantly throughout the entire trilogy.
My favorite J K Simmons role will always be his character Cave Johnson in Portal 2. "When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager, make life rue the day it tried to give Cave Johnson lemons!"
The obvious parallel for me was Clifford D. Simack’s “Our Children’s Children”, written in the 1960s. The plot is very similar - portals open, people come back from the future warning that they are losing a war against ravenous killer aliens that breed like flies and closely resemble the white spikes. The biggest difference is that they do the logical thing and all leave the future for our time. They tell the governments of our time to set up heavy weapons and, if anything weird starts happening, to fire into the portal to close it down. Of course, a swarm of aliens attack a portal, two make it through, one is killed at the gate, and the other flees into the woods. It turns into a bug hunt from that point. The authour must have read this story at one time.
I refused to watch this movie until Ryan did a Pitch Meeting on it. SO GLAD I DID!!!! It was AWESOME! Soooo, you have a movie for me? Yes sir I do. The movie’s going to start with a bunch of people falling into a roof top pool in Miami…from the SKY. Me: Hell yes! Time to pop some corn, settle into the couch, suspend reality, and enjoy this crap!
Yeah the problem with setting up protagonists as super-strong agile or lethal blood, you just made human beings redundant in a confrontation unless they have a huge weapons advantage... you see it all the time Predator, Alien, almost every Marvel movie...the 'power' levels change with the wind otherwise NONE of the humans in these scenarios would ever last 60 secs
@@scaderemade although in Predator the humans are presented as super strong killing machines in the beginning just to make them helpless victims towards the appearance of the alien, none of the humans are shown to be stronger than the alien, not even Arnie, Arnie is shown to be getting ass kicked every minute of his fight and the only reason he won is because the alien finally fell in one of the traps he had set up.
@@cuervoramos Yeah you are right... but Films have changed look at all those human characters that fight along side the Gods and superheros's in Marvel... Like if Hulk accidently fell on even the largest human being, he'd crush them...and we get hand to hand combat with aliens where the human actually does damage? Its rare for a movie especially a series to stick to established power levels
90% of these aren't references, they're just similarities due to it being an uninspired run-of-the-mill sci fi flick, which ends up resembling everything that came before it. Seriously, you shouldn't give them credit as if they hid some easter eggs, you should bash them for not having one original idea.
@@wafflemon1858 What exactly does the so-called “woke era” have to do with this movie…? You seem to be reaching for something that is not there at all…
You also missed: It's the future (30 years of technology) and nobody has come up with any weapon other than simple bullets & guns?? Where are the lasers? Pulse rifles?? COME ON!! AND you forgot to even mention the movie. "Edge of Tomorrow" which this movie closely resembles!
I get its obviously supposed to remind of other movies...I mean it literally lifted Prometheus plot if the Engineers had gone through with the attack on earth and the Aliens were just different enough from good old Xeno's But the Time travel reasoning....omg... I cringed at it every step of the way a million other things made more sense than ferrying folk from the past that were 'due' to die at some point in the near future with almost no training into a confrontation that has literally killed all your top soldiers already... my god the sheer volume of...WTF were they thinking
Let's stretch for one more lame similarity: It's just like the Fast & Furious movies (and far too many others these days) in that the main characters inexplicably keep surviving scenes that would have killed Superman without so much as a torn shirt. Suspension of disbelief is one thing, but failing to have any degree of basis in reality or basic physics is just too much. There's no tension or drama. You know they are going to all be ok.
Me: "No spaceship? Yeah, they've been here the whole time." Also Me: "That volcano obsessed kid is gonna play some role later on, in the future or something." Me Again: "The selection process is people who are already dead." Still Me: "That's his daughter." Yet Again Me: "JK Simmons is gonna die." (And this one I was half right...)
Yes I watched the movie thinking this feels like a lot of other movies I've watched, but boy you really stretched to find the similarity. You might as well have said "all movies had actors, lighting and the actors followed a script" because you tried to join every other situation.
The scene in the lab when Pratt et al are there to find the group but they are hanging upside down and dead definitely flashed back to a scene in Predator.
Me: This movie was an ok popcorn flick. Also me: *falling asleep that night* My OCD brain: *whispers* The drone's miniguns dont spin. Me: *jumps awake sweating*
Maybe it’s just me, but the “too bad Will Smith isn’t here to see this” isn’t a reference to Independence Day, but a reference to Will Smith’s single “Miami” wherein a line in the hook literally says “welcome to Miami.”
They missed one of the more obvious Easter eggs. The War of the Worlds (1953) starred Gene Barry as scientist Dr. Clayton Forrester. This movie has Chris Pratt as Science teacher Dan Forester.
The Thing by John Carpenter was a remake from the 1951 film by Howard Hawks. Also there was no ammo in the 50 cal because she already emptied it, its Hollywood where no one reloads or can possibly carry the ammo shot.
@@CHROME-COLOSSUS While you are correct...it does remake the movie...the title shots are exaxtly the same...This ranks as the best remakes ever...along with The Blob and The Fly showing a film can be updated or get closer to source material and be loved by new and old audience alike I just wish these were examples of the rule rather than the exception
The big glaring omission I noticed was that no one used grenades against the white spikes. A grenade launcher with sticky bombs would have been a whole lot more effective than firing a bazillion rounds at the monsters. I know hollywood thinks that combat has infinite rounds, but c'mon really?
Do you feel Chris Pratt was a good fit for this movie? What do you think his next role could be?
He was good.
I can’t wait for Jurassic World: DOMINION and Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3!
Please put an end card or at least say good bye at the end of the video. It feels like I run into a wall with your sudden ends. Other than that loved the video! Thanks.
Yes he nailed it
No. He proved he isn't a great actor.
Yup! For me he is fit to that movie
You guys missed some "references"! Every person in Tomorrow War has a nose which was a subtle reference to the movie Casino. In Casino, the character Ginger, played by Sharon Stone, also had a nose.
The original title was going to be, "Casinose''.
Best comment of the year!
Don't forget the human reference since the movie took place in earth
this is what real humour looks like
Exactly
"The Godfather" had people in it and "White chicks" has people in it...
They are practically the same movie!
OMG.... how could I have missed that
God damn same movie
That's pretty much what I was thinking when I saw this video
So not 25 things anyone missed, but I guess the title "25 weak comparisons to other movies" wouldn't get as many clicks
So no comparison of the white spikes to the mimics in the excellent "Edge of Tomorrow/Live Die Repeat"?
Most of this is just similarities to other movies, not “Easter eggs” or “hidden plot points”
thank you for saving me some time. read this, not going to watch this video.
Or STEALING!
Obviously, there are none hidden plot points because the plot of the movie has no point at all.

What I missed was a coherent and logical plot.
They didn't crash the ship on purpose...you don't "crash" on purpose. They'd have landed if they meant to come to Earth...
Kamikaze pilots may disagree.
@@brixen0623 Most wouldn't.
That makes sense if the captains of the ship were alive.
They even say, when they find the pilots upside down in the cockpit that it was definitely a crash. Screenrant, more like Screencant.
@@Dinvan Exactly. You crash as “gently” as possible. Upside down isn’t gentle. Haha
I thought this movie was like Edge of Tomorrow yet there’s no mention. The aliens was like it.
My favorite J K Simmons role will always be his character Cave Johnson in Portal 2. "When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager, make life rue the day it tried to give Cave Johnson lemons!"
I personally loved the film … hope they continue the story by making a sequel
What would the sequel even be about? The 3 years of war in the future timeline?
How do you not make the AvP reference with the queen being chained up? 😂
Big Edge of Tomorrow vibes too
Can't believe they missed that.
I had no idea Arnold was Chris’s Pratt’s father in law.
the thought of having Arnold as a farther in law is awesome
This movie is exactly like Guardians of the Galaxy with Chris Pratt in the lead and nothing else in common.

True. The Will Smith reference may be the only one. A fun movie to watch nevertheless in the midst of the woke era.

I liked this movie. The design of the aliens was just so AWESOME!
Agreed, they really did some awesome work on the aliens.
And disgusting
As someone who love Monster designs. The White Spikes are awesome. On of the best ones I've ever seen.
Visuals were great, script was hot garbage
@@bangitybangbabang agreed, but it was a fun movie. Just tons of plot holes.
You missed that the war strategies of the future is a reference to Idiocity.
*"Stravoski"*
It's STRA HOV SKI.
They could have given Betty Gilpin a better role than housewife/mom that waits around. Anyone who’s seen GLOW or The Hunt knows she’s a badass
I wish i could unsee this movie
This movie reminds me of Edge of Tomorrow (Live Die Repeat).

Miami is also a nod at Will Smith being in the Bad Boys franchise
“What is this madness!?” 😂😂😂😂
I'd say the will smith reference was more likely referring to the Bad Boys Franchise.
You missed the total recall reference, and bodies hung from ceiling is reference to predator. And daughter falling was a shot from alien
loved this movie!
The only thing missing was a coherent plot.
I missed a good story...
This movie is just like Edge of Tomorrow in that both movies don't have Keanu Reeves in it.
This movie was just like Water World in that there was a lot of water where the final city floated.
Loved this movie.

This movie is literally Terminator meets Aliens meets Independence Day.
We didn’t miss anything, that’s the problem. The movie is horrendous on so many levels.
One thing I missed in The Tomorrow War - a plot that made sense.............
25 Themes Tomorrow War has in Common with a Bunch of Other Movies.
Interesting video 👌
#1 - a good script
25-Plot
24-Logic
23-Reason
22-Good Time Travel
…
Just finished watching this … i liked it. Wasn’t bad.
They didn’t crash the spaceship on purpose. It’s stated in the film that it was a legit crash and not an intentional ‘weapon drop’
Me: "No spaceship? Yeah, they've been here the whole time."
Also Me: "That volcano obsessed kid is gonna play some role later on, in the future or something."
Me Again: "The selection process is people who are already dead."
Still Me: "That's his daughter."
Yet Again Me: "JK Simmons is gonna die." (And this one I was half right...)
Yeah you get to recognize 'foreshadowing' moments in movies especially if the writings hacky as hell
This movie is just like Die Hard with a hero that wins in the end.
You’re right! Plagiarism.
We don't know that the crash was deliberate... I like the ambiguity of it.
didn't know they use actual blank rounds in the movie, the way they spray their rifle, it really looks like they were shooting VFX
This movie was just like Coraline in that there was a father and daughter and a creepy "mother/queen" monster.
What I miss after watching this movie is two hrs of my life.
Yes I watched the movie thinking this feels like a lot of other movies I've watched, but boy you really stretched to find the similarity. You might as well have said "all movies had actors, lighting and the actors followed a script" because you tried to join every other situation.

I enjoyed the movie and would not have been upset about spending $10 on a ticket.
You missed the hidden reference to Back to the future, the time travel is prevalent in both movies
Its most similar to the movie Edge of Tomorow grom Tom Cruise
Me: This movie was an ok popcorn flick.
Also me: *falling asleep that night*
My OCD brain: *whispers* The drone's miniguns dont spin.
Me: *jumps awake sweating*
This movie has aliens and guns. 'Cowboys vs Aliens' has aliens and guns. This is quite possibly a sequel to 'Cowboys vs Aliens'.
14:19 incorrect. I worked on the VFX team and there was no face replace.
Maybe it’s just me, but the “too bad Will Smith isn’t here to see this” isn’t a reference to Independence Day, but a reference to Will Smith’s single “Miami” wherein a line in the hook literally says “welcome to Miami.”
The alien reminds me of the creature in stranger things. I also think of world war z when you see the aliens all together running at the rig.
Haven't even watched it yet, but I'm almost positive that it's not "things you missed"
The Chris Pratt review
Chris Prat, the rest of the cast as well as the millions of dollars sunk into that movie would have deserved a better script.
The toxin "R 007" is 100% BOND, James Bond.
OMG, the 1 think I wished I missed was the movie. Color by numbers movie.
I missed more than that because I didn't watch it. I regret nothing.
Your instinct was strong.
9:04 cutest moment
They missed one of the more obvious Easter eggs. The War of the Worlds (1953) starred Gene Barry as scientist Dr. Clayton Forrester. This movie has Chris Pratt as Science teacher Dan Forester.
Movie gave me some big EDGE OF TOMORROW vibes
Jay Jonah Jameson is Spider-Man's last boss fight
This video was better than the film.
Only way I would have missed these is; if I had the volume down and the tv off.
Decent story for one
"It’s coming home!”…yeah perhaps in a future world that has no penalties 🥴
hopefully the sequel will get released in theaters
The Thing by John Carpenter was a remake from the 1951 film by Howard Hawks. Also there was no ammo in the 50 cal because she already emptied it, its Hollywood where no one reloads or can possibly carry the ammo shot.
Carpenter’s “The THING” was not really a re-make, it was more inspired-by, and was a lot closer to the original written story than the first film.
@@CHROME-COLOSSUS While you are correct...it does remake the movie...the title shots are exaxtly the same...This ranks as the best remakes ever...along with The Blob and The Fly
showing a film can be updated or get closer to source material and be loved by new and old audience alike

Yes screen rant guy!!! You know it's coming home 😁 brilliant!!!
1. A coherent plot and basic logic.
Movies prophetic ngl. Well considering I’ve grown up Adventist haha
J K Simmons was also in Terminator Genisis with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
It would be nice if they re-release it in theaters in 3D. :P Hospitals fill up with people complaining they got hit by flying white spikes. :P
I wish I had of missed this film
I liked the movie even with some of the plot issues.
All I missed was a coherent plot
You forgot with the Will Smith reference the Bad Boys franchise. I thought there was a bit of Edge of tomorrow in it.
A fissure in a glacier is called a crevasse.
This movie is just like The War of the Roses in that both movies have War in the title.
Calling this movie a block buster and comparing it 2 independence Day is a big stretch
FOR THE FAMILY ANYTHING
This movie was just like OZ and the Farmers Insurance commercials in that JK Simmons is in it.
You forgot to link 'the great wall'.
I saw this film and it SOOOOOOO should have been released in theaters! I do hope it gets a 4K Blue ray release! VERY good film and well worth a view!
The big glaring omission I noticed was that no one used grenades against the white spikes. A grenade launcher with sticky bombs would have been a whole lot more effective than firing a bazillion rounds at the monsters. I know hollywood thinks that combat has infinite rounds, but c'mon really?
How can you miss the reference(s) to Starship Troopers?
There was another goof in the lab. He's supposed to find 12 tubes and theres 15 in the tray he grabs
