Talk:The Tomorrow War

Is this movie related to the graphic novel / comic? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.202.212.229 (talk) 19:54, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Reverted Plot Summary
I reverted the Premise section because an editor inadvertently made a change that violated copyright rules. Another previous editor had simply copied the summary from the Amazon website and enclosed it in quotation marks. A subsequent editor then added a few words (and in so doing correctly removed the quotation marks) but by removing the quotation marks, inadvertently violated copyright policy.

It’ll soon be a moot point anyway, since in a few days when the movie comes out millions of people will be rewriting what’s there. Telle est la vie sur Wikipedia 		__170.253.146.135 (talk) 01:31, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

A remarkable sidelight
After watching The Tomorrow War on Amazon, I happened to see an Amazon trailer for it on a theatrical screen before a movie at a local theatre and was astonished at how effective it was on a big screen. While I liked the movie on Amazon, I was blown away by the trailer on a full-sized movie screen. I would've paid to see it again despite having already seen it on Amazon: that's how great it looked (it was made to be shown in theatres but, because of the pandemic scare resulting in vastly reduced patronage of movie theatres during exactly that time frame, Amazon snapped it up to debut on its platform). I think the picture would've been a hit had it been released theatrically and would be thought of extremely differently today. I'm trying to figure out some way to introduce that line of thinking into the article but of course I'm stymied by the original research aspect. Racing Forward (talk) 10:36, 12 July 2022 (UTC)


 * @Racing Forward: If you can find a published reliable source that has the same opinion, you could include that in the article. However, your opinion (or mine or any other editor) doesn't belong in the article.  Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 04:36, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @GoingBatty: Yes, that's why it's only on the Talk page. It was shot as a movie before being sold at the last minute to Amazon for $200 million at the height of the pandemic. It really felt like a totally different experience seeing clips from it in a trailer on the big screen, though. And of course you're right, I can't fit it into the article unless I bump across a previously published source, the chances of which seem minimal to say the most. Thank you for the response, GoingBatty. Hey, I was bowled over by all the wikipedia technical prowess on your page that you've mastered. I've never gotten past merely typiing text and mounting photographs already found in wikimedia myself (I haven't a clue as to finding my own photos and submitting them; there used to be a contributor called "We hope" who put up hundreds if not thousands of pictures from movies and early television series years ago but finally got so frustrated by some vandal cavalierly deleting his work that he simply quit in disgust, and I miss him since so much of wikimedia remains frozen in time as a result). You inspire me to become more technical. Appreciatively, Racing Forward (talk) 14:55, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
