    A supposedly $200 million dollar sci-fi spectacle about contemporary people being conscripted into a future war that pits the human race against some very hungry aliens, “The Tomorrow War” sure is a mighty huge thing to watch at home on a (comparatively) small screen. And…

    Takes a legitimately horrifying concept--what if multiplayer, battle royale fps games were made real and civilians with no training were conscripted into doing suicide wave attacks where they're sent to the time travel lobby, dropped into a map and then slaughtered by…

    A piece of content that seems explicitly designed to languish in your watchlist. Maybe you'll get around to it, just not today.
