Reaper, a USAF drone pilot, provides air support from a General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper to a US Army Delta Force team on the ground in the Philippines. After a mishap, Kinney, a young JTAC officer attached to the Delta Force team finds himself part of an extraction team relying only on Reaper's remote air support.

JFC it's a movie lionizing fucking drone pilots and operators. Also they named him after the fucking drone, they couldn't be even a little more creative?

I bet the one liners are going to be banger like "You REAP what you sow!" and "Fear the REAPER!"

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 41 points 2 years ago

Don't fear the reaper will be part of a montage of him drone striking hospitals

They already made a movie about drone pilots 30 years ago, Toys starring Robin Williams.

Do you think they'll be fighting Islamists or Communists or what

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

per the wikipedia, looks like Abu Sayyaf. Isis in the Philippines

but they're so fucking stupid they cast an Arab-Australian (I think?) as the villain. Abu Sayyaf's leadership are all Filipino Muslims.

Burgers cannot comprehend non-arab muslims. Maybe the smarter ones can understand that Afghans aren't arab, but thats about the end of it.

Obviously it'll be the most terrifying force imaginable: Muslamic-style Communists from North Korea

Sub-chat gpt level movie title concept

It's like if Felix really phoned in a satirical chud movie.

"It's about the most under appreciated of all operators, drone pilots"

I asked the horny minotaur to come up with a script:

I challenge you to a battle of wits. Unless you are a coward of course. Let us both write a movie premise around the following idea. Whoever makes the more compelling film wins. A US Air Force drone pilot provides recon support to a Delta Force team trying to extract from the Philippines.

Hmph, a battle of wits, you say? Very well, mortal! Prepare to be outmatched by the sheer brilliance of my movie premise.

Title: "Eyes in the Sky"

In a high-stakes military thriller, "Eyes in the Sky" follows the story of Captain Ethan Sullivan, a skilled and seasoned US Air Force drone pilot. Tasked with providing crucial reconnaissance support to a Delta Force team, he finds himself in the heart of the dense Philippine jungle.

As the Delta Force team faces constant danger and obstacles, Captain Sullivan's drone becomes their lifeline, navigating through treacherous terrains and pinpointing enemy positions. The tension escalates as they encounter a ruthless terrorist faction determined to prevent their extraction.

Amidst the chaos, Captain Sullivan forms an unexpected bond with Maria, a local villager caught in the crossfire. Together, they uncover a web of political intrigue and corruption, revealing the true motives behind the mission.

With heart-pounding action sequences, intense aerial battles, and a gripping story of sacrifice and redemption, "Eyes in the Sky" explores the moral implications of modern warfare and the blurred lines between heroism and duty.

Now, mortal, let's see what you can come up with. Can you match the intensity and depth of my movie premise?

Literally sounds like a better movie.

Sexy minotaur is my favourite though, I'm sure they thought of the same title independently.

This has to be satire right

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 45 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s real, the protagonist is a drone pilot.

This combined with "Finish The Job" has me pretty well convinced that someone is fucking with us.

Idk if it's gods, extraterrestrials, extradimensional beings, or a cabal of capitalists with a sharp and dark sense of humor - but yeah, it strains credulity.

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 38 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

It's like those Netflix movies that look like something that would be depicted as a movie inside a movie. The only non-white person in the main cast is half-Jamaican half-British Rickie Whittle (thought has last name was whitey)

I like how 3 people on the poster prominently feature their bent muscular arm. That seems like a very prominent thing for "operator" goons. "I have enough muscles to hold up this big gun I'm going to pull the trigger of".

It turns out the opposite of a navy seal is a twink who knows how to handle a firearm without flexing vanity muscles.

It's especially funny because even with a bunch of doodads on there it still weighs less than a M1 Garand wielded by smol bean nazi killer Audie Murphy.

These are basically superhero movies churned out for guys who want to murder foreigners.

Would have loved to be at the thanksgiving dinner table when Liam and Luke tried to talk Chris into putting his name on this pile of dogshit.

No saying Chris Hemsworth is some moral paragon but whatever the professional equivalent of a fight or flight response must have kicked in.

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

There’s a chance this movie was made entirely for government money/ throwing a bone to local film industry

Filming began in September 2022, running through November 2022 in the Gold Coast, Queensland.[5][6] The production took advantage of location incentives offered by the Australian government, bringing roughly 270 jobs to its local film industry.

Fuck you its ~~January~~ February. I wonder why studios always publish so much swill at the beginning of the year? I would figure that indoor activities during the winter would be better for blockbusters

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My guess is a combo of releasing good movies to take advantage of the holiday season and not "wasting" them by releasing in the general New Year/Post Christmas spending slump. Release the slop when theatre attendance is at it lowest anyway and save the ones they're banking on for more popular seasons. It's also a little chicken and egg, is attendance low because shit movie releases or are shit movies released due to fewer people going to theatres?

I thought this was an AI-generated poster at first. There's no way ”Ricky Whittle” is a real name and not gibberish AI art text.

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

It's as real as Sleve McDichael, Bobson Dugnutt, or Willie Dustice

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I rate this movie 2/3 Hemsworths

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sadly(?) it’s the Hemsworths the lessers, but that’s still a lot more Hemsworthy than only having one Hemsworth.

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Someday a film will come to unite the Hemsworths Today is not that day.

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago

One Hemsworth to direct them all, one Hemsworth to cast them, One Hemsworth to bring them all, and in the cinema bind them; In the Land of Hollywood where the shadows lie.

Academy Award winner Russell Crowe

Literally in a movie called "Land of Bad"

Sigh.
