>Described by sources as a “sci-fun” story rather than “sci-fi,” the tale is set in a dystopian future where a Donald Trump-like president has bankrupt America and China has called in its debts. The Asian giant now owns America and many Americans have immigrated to China looking for work.
>In this new world, a former American Force Recon member is hired by a Chinese billionaire to go into an American ghetto and rescue his daughter.
China owns Hollywood and they complain about Russia, lol.
Fucking transparent propaganda.
Alexander Lee
>"sci-fun" >starting it with a Reddit pun This is already a trainwreck.
Angel Green
It seemed like a yellow-scare movie, continuation of the "Japanese will own America in future" genre from the late 80s and early 90s (e.g. Demolition Man).
Carson Richardson
>Donald Trump-like president has bankrupt America
aren't corrupt politicians and greedy cooperations already doing that since decades? they don't need trump for that.
Jonathan Taylor
Holy shit, Hollywood is a joke
Cooper Scott
Trump should lock him up for selling out to the chinks. High Treason or something.
Ryan Wood
So this is essentially Michael Bay's Escape from Detroit?
Kevin Barnes
Hopefully they wont.

This is flopping hard in China right now. Blatant pandering doesn't work.
David Barnes
A Bay-directed Escape from New York? That could be fun
Jayden Clark
>japanese will own america this shit was so weird. in almost every 90s movie there was a mention to japan simply cause they made a lot of cars and tvs. now its china for some reason
Josiah Lee
Finally, the film that end's Bay's career.
Eli Richardson
How is it flopping in China? This is a legit question, I'm interested to know what's happening with it. When did it come out?
Justin Cox
>random whore with obvious blue contact lens
Caleb Jenkins
Michael Bay sold his ass to the chinks, hopefully Trump kicks him out with the illegals
Robert Price
>In this new world, a former American Force >Recon member is hired by a Chinese billionaire to go into an American ghetto and rescue his daughter.
So Bay is stealing Carpenter's gig?

Not entirely implausible 2bh. Although China calling in the debts would probably mean WW3.

ESCAPE FROM AMERICA

The Japs crippled the U.S. steel industry, severely cut into U.S. auto companies' market share, became overwhelmingly dominant in the emerging consumer electronics industry, were buying U.S. bonds at an insane rate and then coming over and buying massive amounts of real estate. They still have the largest amount of foreign owned U.S. bonds in the world. They were rolling like a juggernaut and it took a while for them to burn out the pace they had managed and the burning out was because of a variety of factors that were hard to see at the time.
Justin Lee
If China becomes a wealthy, developed country its going to be powerful just by having 1.4 billion wealthy, educated people within one border
The United States is so formidable because it has 325 million relatively wealthy and educated people within one border while the average Europoor is pottering around with seven or eight digit populations
The question is if the average Chinaman can really become as prosperous as the average Japanese or Korean citizen
Jackson Richardson
wtf i loved bay after 13 hours for exposing CROOKED HILLARY but i hate bay now
Tyler Perez
Also, what happens when there are 100s of millions of educated Chinese that don't like an overbearing quasi-communist government?
Samuel Mitchell
In a best case growth scenario for them, the US will still be 80% as wealthy as China 30 years from now
Keep in mind that, for instance, at the peak of their power and influence the Soviet Union was only ever 30% as wealthy as the US
Jayden Murphy
Japan is the biggest holder now.
Leo Russell
second biggest
Dylan Cruz
No, Japan overtook China as the biggest holder. It happened in 2015.
Nathan Scott
america is the biggest holder
Dylan Watson
I know that, I should've said Japan is the biggest foreign holder.
Carter Stewart
Nobody is really sure. The way China works right now, it's basically a compromise with its people: we give you economic growth, you don't complain about the brutal authoritarianism.
It's worked pretty well so far, but you can only deliver 7%+ GDP growth for so long...
Aiden Baker
we are both correct then
Andrew Roberts
>This is what libshits actually believe
Brandon Rodriguez
Its made 203 mil so far so I doubt it will flop. Prod Budget has not been made public but judging by those shitty effect it prob isn't much.
Josiah Phillips
Literally this
Actually sounds awesome lol
Easton Robinson
>1700 years to build no that's fine, just make up any random number
Caleb White
It's not really a unique plot. It's pretty much what the Patriots series by James Wesley Rawles is about.
William Adams
FUCK YOU
Easton Phillips
corrupt politicians and greedy politicians are good at keeping the rotting body alive until they have eaten their fill, trump will just straight up drive against a wall with the body in his trunk. the car is labeled "inexperience", the body "US economy" and the wall is "reality"
Jose Lee
>making a movie is high treason how is that dystopian autocracy working out?
Carson Harris
Thanks for really spelling your metaphor at the end there
Isaiah Moore
>the mongols are LITERALLY DEMONS this is like a worse 300
Gavin Jones
they just make better cars and electronics. your fault for not keeping up.
Dylan Miller
don't forget the waifus
Josiah Baker
Didn't he just make a surprisingly good redpilled film about Benghazi?
Ryan Carter
you need to BECOME the cartoonist.
Blake Bell
All the slums are filled with white rednecks armed to the teeth, constantly snorting meth and injecting phentanyl. All the good, decent americans are black and mexicans and they help our hero on his bloody path through the heartland.
Matthew Rivera
I don't know why, but I laughed
Grayson Lewis
>China has called in its debts How is it that Hollywood writers don't have the vaguest understanding on how debt works?
Daniel Reed
We all know Bay has has no dignity. Dr. Seuss's books make you think more than a Bay film.
Cameron Ortiz
Funny enough, a lot the Fentanyl that is sold to junkies comes from China.
Robert Parker
>Hollywood in charge of understanding anything.
We can only trust them with portraying cucking correctly.
Jose Nelson
They studied writing/film, not economics. Doesn't really matter either way, it's just a plot device so he can do a dystopian movie. You might as well complain that a zombie apocalypse isn't scientifically possible because they would all freeze/rot/be eaten by animals within like a month.
Jackson Wright
Because they know the general public doesn't know how this debt works.
Ayden Jenkins
>billionaire is inexperienced with economy
thanks for proving you're a retard
Jack James
Their population went to shit, that's why they stopped.
Austin Bennett
But, user. For it to be Science Fiction it has to actually be "Fiction"
Connor Lopez
i like the idea that a foreign bondholder could just 'call in their debt' as if bonds can be cashed in at any moment.
Bentley Ward
Not really, their economy went to shit long before they hit this demographic crisis. The bubble popped all the way back in 1990.
Carter Perry
It was built in chunks by different dynasties, 200s BC to 1600s AD.
Xavier Phillips
I know. Do these people live in fear that the bank will suddenly "call in" their mortgage or something?
Nathaniel Reyes
People think law is binding. It's not. Law only exists if you have the power to enforce it.
China says it want its money. The US says no, WTF are they going to do? Conquering the US is an impossibility and the cost would bankrupt any nation. Especially when most of their money comes from the people you're attacking.
Bentley Powell
What caused them to burn out, then?
Benjamin Young
>People think law is binding. It's not. NEVER POST AGAIN.
There is no law to "call in" a bond. You are YET ANOTHER person who does not understand the basic concepts behind simple forms of debts.
