Charmingly unsophisticated
| If I'm in 2054 or whatever, and I have a timeline to the past, why not just have those surviving 500K come here and together start prepping for wiping out the WSs. Other than it'd be a short movie.  Shit, that wouldn't work because some of the future peeps are alive in the past.

| Did you just tell it to die?
We watched it the other night. Not bad for that type of movie.
Chris Pratt is one of us too |

My 14 year old and I just watched it and we had similar questions. I guess the biggest is my 12" 6.5 Grendel and my son built a 16" .458 Socom for his birthday last year. Guess we need to build something bigger this year for birthday rifles. Of course we also discussed the time travel issues

This. I really tried to like it but it fell into the realm of the walking dead for me: The entire premise is stupid and all these people are too stupid to survive. They deserve to die. I'm pretty good at suspending disbelief to enjoy movies or TV shows. I Just watched The Americans, lots of little nitpicks, a few major, glaring errors but still done well enough for me to set that aside and enjoy the show, as an example. But damn, at least give a little help with the suspension of disbelief. |

| It was mildly enjoyable. It was off the charts idiotic though. The entire premise made no sense. It literally contradicted itself continually with every scene.
The video above is funny and absolutely nails all the big nonsense encapsulated as a movie. |

| But.... The future now never happened so nobody made the toxin so he wouldn't have it to use. It was ok, very sloppy plot points. If there's nothing else to watch give it a shot

Yeah, that's one of many problems with time travel movies like this. Whereas alternate reality hopping is more plausible. (At least as far as plot-hole-riddled sci-fi premises goes.) I wasn't impressed. If I just want to turn off my brain and watch actors hose aliens with guns, there are (slightly) better films to do that with, like Aliens or Battle: Los Angeles. |

Oh stewardess,

| I was entertained. I didn't think about trying to find out where the aliens would start appearing. I thought the easy solution since they were able to bring back what neutralized them was to start stockpiling the ammo for when the aliens showed up. But I'm a supply chain guy and I guess that's the reason they don't make riveting movies about supply management.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Same here. My oldest daughter sarcastically said “they must have some large magazines” We went in knowing what it was and enjoyed it as an escape and support for one of us. |
