The Tomorrow War Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to The Tomorrow War!

Chris Pratt made the leap to action movie star back in 2014 with Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, and he’s been on that path ever since. After seeing him go to war against deadly aliens with a time-travel plot in Marvel, The Tomorrow War lets audiences see him go to war against deal aliens with a time-travel plot. But like… But different.

The Tomorrow War definitely raises some questions. Like why aren’t people in the future sending people back in time to prepare for the war instead of to come fight a losing battle? Why do they mention only recruiting people that are deceased in the future if almost everyone is? Why did Dan dive off a platform to try and save Muri? What was the point of spending the whole movie working on a toxin if they just used explosives in the end? Why didn’t they prepare their soldiers at all for the extremely dangerous mission they sent them on?

To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to The Tomorrow War! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Anyone else get more excited about watching Pitch Meetings than the movies themselves?

[AdamFunk]

This plot feels like a producer watched _World War Z_ and _Edge of Tomorrow_ and just pointed wildly at the screen and yelled "Do that! Do that!" to everyone in the room.

I loved how everyone that was necessary at some point in the movie was a friend of the protagonist. We need an expert and crazy pilot. No problem, we call my dad. Now we need a scientist specialized in molecular shenanigans, no problem, call the funny guy that I know. Ok, but now we need an expert on Asian vulcanology. No worries we can talk to my teenager student.

This movie is the embodiment of; "I'm gonna need you to stop asking questions and get all the way off my back."

The Tomorrow War is a very good example of what one can accomplish by linking together nothing but plot holes until one has a feature length film.

“If they just blow up the ship, then why did they need the toxin?” - this single observation, on its own, breaks the entire movie

[lockerius]

"Sure, that may as well happen."

This whole movie.

Ryan: Science and family

Dom: "Enters pitch meeting"
did someone say family??

[brettyalphaomega]

This movie was like an episode of Drunk History where the writer just tried to summarize Edge of Tomorrow, Starship Troopers, and World War Z while being completely hammered.

The fact that they didn't have the time to use RPGs, grenade launchers, grenades, explosive rounds ect. Or have the 'technology' to create weapons that could kill the aliens when you CREATED A MACHINE THAT ALLOWED MASS TELEPORTATION OF TIME TRAVEL.

[sacha]

This movie should have been called "Interesting strategy, the movie".

[jpi]

"They start developing a toxin by science and family.." - Dom approves.

[brynntaylor]

Don’t forget about how the c4 was never placed in the first place, somehow they blew the entire ship up without actually placing any c4 to blow it up with. Magical teleporting c4.

[ratholin]

As silly as the premise is it's not too far fetched to think that when all hope seems lost the last humans would call for their moms and dads to make the monsters go away.

[The-Rest-of-Us]

If aliens ever attack us in the future we will call upon the inexhaustible army of Ryans.

[asterpw]

You didn't mention they had to consult with some random high school kid during class about volcanoes instead of actual scientists who specialize in volcanoes.

[sasakipro]

I appreciate the part where Ryan acknowledges how illogical it is for them risk their lives instead of warning the government but also makes a decent argument how boring it would be if they did so otherwise.

[LamiNalchor]

I always find it hilarious how people fight animals, aliens, and whatever multiple times their size with hand-to-hand combat. When a regular human would not have a chance against a chimp.

[denniswilliams]

Never has a film tried so hard to absolutely destroy my suspension of disbelief.

When I was watching the movie and they asked if he knew a “volcano expert” and they went to that kid I immediately thought of the Pitch Meeting. I am surprised it wasn’t even mentioned.
