The Tomorrow War | Average Guy Movie Review

Christmas 2022, soldiers from the future arrive to warn us of a global conflict that threatens the entire human race. In response, the governments of the world initiate a draft and begin sending waves of troops into the future to fight.  If you're thinking this all sounds kind of like  The Terminator , only in reverse, you wouldn't be far wrong. In fact it seems to draw inspiration from several classic franchises, including  Alien . Even with a slightly different take on the whole time travel thing - don't worry, this isn't like  Avengers: Endgame  -  The Tomorrow War  is a pretty standard sci-fi/action movie. As you can imagine it's all  a bit bleak; alien invasion, human extinction - yep, sounds bleak. But the movie does have a fun side - like every time Sam Richardson picks up a weapon. This is an alien invasion/time travel movie, after all, so if we're not having a little fun, what are we doing here?   All of the usual questions and paradoxes apply as our he

The Predator | Average Guy Movie Review

When a Predator crash lands on Earth, the US Government seizes the opportunity to study the alien hunter and his technology. But they're not the only ones looking for him. It seems that the Predators have been combining their DNA with that of their prey, and the result of that research is on his way here. Our only hope against this new threat comes in the form of a group of PTSD suffering veterans known as the "Loonies", an evolutionary biologist and a little boy with asperger's. Shane Black, the writer/director behind The Nice Guys, Iron Man 3 and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang has had a go at re-vamping the Predator franchise. And thank fuck the studio execs didn't want to aim for a 12 rating! Can you imagine the guy who played Hawkins in Predator, the guy who made all of those bad pussy jokes directing a 12 rated Predator movie? Look at what that did to Die Hard! Although Die Hard 4.0 sucked anyway. Don't worry, The Predator isn't anywhere near the level

THE PREDATOR | Moustache Trailer Reaction

The Predator is due for release on 14th September and we finally have a trailer. Written and directed by Shane Black (Hawkins in Predator/writer of Lethal Weapon/director of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), this is the first Predator movie since 2010's Predators and it looks interesting. I'm also pleased to say there isn't a Xenomorph in site The official synopsis: From the reaches of outer space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home. Now, the universe's most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA of other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a rag tag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race. Well that all sounds very dramatic! Without giving too much away, the trailer does hint at the plot. We get to see Boyd Holbrook's Quinn McKenna being interrogated by a Government man a
