Of course the aliens are winning, The humans are running up and shooting them at point blank range. Kind of removes the advantage of range weapons you know.
Even the fucking aircraft are flying way to low. We have the technology to drop those same bombs from 20 000 feet with the same effectiveness. Its a whole thing. The air force is very proud of it.
Also has any of these movies heard about artillery? Having your past draftees haul ammo for the 155mm and MLRS systems would be a better use of their lives then have them engage in room to room house clearings. Throw a dozen shells into that building and collapse it on top of those albino shits. Then get a bunch of Bulldozers and tanks to dig out and kill any survivors.
At least the aliens in Edge of Tomorrow could see the future going for them.
The sky was full of stars, every star an exploding ship. One of ours.
It would be hilarious if the twist was "this group of assholes attracted the aliens to earth, let's recruit them all with promises of "saving the future" and then get them all killed."

Yeah, monster movies only exist if you discount the whole of modern military technology and knowledge.
Honestly? Give me Godzilla wrecking 17th century Japan.

I very much doubt the aliens are going to prove to be aliens at all. It's going to be some Dragonball Z variation where some asshole past science group built the critters in a lab in the mountains they keep showing, Crisp Rat's team is actually sent to the future to die but finds that info instead, the big oil rig fight or whatever is them trying to race back to the time machine to go back in time with said info, and then Crisp Rat takes his survivors plus his dad to go wipe out the critters at the science facility. Then there is going to be some stupid reason as to why only Team Rat can go do it, like the future-commanders don't believe the Ratters found the location or are secretly trying to keep it suppressed or actually made the critters because they're the actual aliens or want humanity dead or whatever.
Anyway, the line that the critters are "smarter, stronger, and faster than you can imagine" lays out precisely how totally fucking stupid the movie is. These things apparently just run everything down because they're big and strong, and it looks like they have fuck-all for brains as they seem to just suicidally charge everything down with zero use of tactics or, I dunno, weapons. And they're multiplying wildly beyond control without doing any cultivation or farming or food preservation. I can imagine how smart an average human can, and these things look way more stupid than that. And I can fucking see them moving quite easily and understand they can knock cars around and shit, so obviously they are both well within the limits of my imagination for speed and strength.
Also, bonus prediction: each critter is actually a transformed human or some other stupid twisty thing. Double bonus prediction: humans from the past are being sent to the future so they will turn into the monsters, for some nefarious reason.
EDIT: Reign of Fire. That's what this really stupid premise makes me think of. But at least that had some proper fucking dragons for being such a dumb idea.
I cannot tell if Cage is attempting to do a serious drama or if the movie is going to turn into John Wick 4: this time its about a pig and Cage is a chef. Though i think i have an idea of how some of the things are going to end
I've been complaining that movies recently have shifted off "It's about family" and into "Daddy issues"....... but holy shit is this movie just about a dude with so many daddy issues he abandons his kid to run off to the future war with his dad? The spoiler is that his now broken kid is helping him in the future, right?

Nick Cage is like a chainsaw, or a sledgehammer: a tool that seems outwardly ridiculous, but is actually perfect within a specific context. And if you choose to use it under the wrong circumstances, well, that decision making was always going to result in a disastrous end product, anyway.

So Ad Astra but even dumber?
And with an incredibly less talented lead.
Ill probably end up watching it anyway, for free, in the background, while I play Kerbal or something.
Yes, with a quick verbal "boom." You take a man's peko, you deny him his dab, all that is left is to rise up and tear down the walls of Jericho with a ".....not!" -TexiKen
Looks sleazy and intense, though the trailer doesn't give much of a sense of what it's about on a plot level. I've been meaning to see Raw for a while; I think I'll watch it before Cannes gets underway in a couple weeks.

I'm sure I read somewhere that his kids keep trying to start their own gigs and they keep fizzling out. I know it's fairly well publicised that he took his divorce from Demi Moore as him failing as a father. It's entirely possible his latest films could be him funding his kids' ventures.

Yeah this film is being heavily marketed as a vampire film. They definitely aren't giving any twist away. That's just an effective trailer imo.

Seriously, or Scout has been kidnapped and he must make shitty movies to get her back.

damn... he looks like a fucking bog-mummy in that preview image
Wait, if she was taking snapshots, why was the camera also recording video?
Immersion ruined.
That is actually pretty common now I think.
It's the same thing that studio did with Charles Bronson and Chuck Norris in the 70s
After that, they'll either end up on a scripted tv drama that does surprisingly well, or get into politics.
I would watch Nick Cage ham it up in a bad movie way more than I would watch Bruce Willis sleep walk through a terrible movie
Ok I'm sorry for all the bad trailers.
