Alright, let's break it down.

You send conscripted, untrained civilians to the front lines of a war, mostly urban and with an unconventional enemy and expect them to save you? You don't even develop a videogame you could sell to trainAlright, let's break it down.

You send conscripted, untrained civilians to the front lines of a war, mostly urban and with an unconventional enemy and expect them to save you?

You don't even develop a videogame you could sell to train BILLIONS of people at the same time so they could get the basics on how to fight that enemy?

And after decades, even with that time advantage to prepare during peacetime in the past and the whole world's resource at their disposal they haven't developed effective weapons to deal with their armored body?

Did the writers have any ideas how fast killing weapons can evolve? It's adapt or die. Anyone who studied war history or knows at least the basics knows this.

I'm not even military, yet I'm cringing how completely inept at suspending disbelief this script is.

At least other future alien wars movies had evolved their weapons to fight aliens and had at least half-useful training grounds. It was at least somewhat believable.

But this... It's an insult to people's intelligence.

And don't even mention the "capture" sequence... No tranq darts, no tazers, no nothing, just ropes... You'll shake your head so hard you'll get brain damage, and maybe then you'll enjoy the rest?

The critic reviews much more closely resemble the real ratings than the user score, which is baffling. So I'm gonna have to rebalance the user score a bit toward the saner side with a big fat ZERO.

It's more like a 3-4 if you completely disconnect your brain tho. If that's your thing, you'll have fun. Otherwise, HARD PASS, don't bother.… Expand

Great plot, good graphics, but the movie gets worse and worse as it goes on. The humor feels misplaced and the writing becomes very lazy as it nears completion. Turn your brain off if you'd like to enjoy this one - and then you'll be fine.

It's a dumb sci fi movie but it knows that and has fun with it. It has an interesting concept too but don't think too much about the entire logic of it as it doesn't make a lot of sense.

It's a fun action movie and that's okay.

It isn’t bad at all and it’s a turn your brain off kind of movie but it still isn’t great. Chris Pratt is good. He brings a fun and engaging set of charisma to his roles and he is no different here. His character is very one note though. His only motivation is that he cares about his daughter which isn’t a bad motivation but the film is begging for more character development so that the emotional moments feel more impactful. Sam Richardson was fun but he really doesn’t do a lot during the movie besides adding some comic relief to it. All of the other characters are very forgettable although I did enjoy J. K. Simmons presence even if he had basically nothing to do. Since this is a time travel movie, the logic is out of the window. There were several moments involving the creatures or characters that made me think, “Hold on. That’s a big paradox”. One moment involves Chris Pratt’s character and the general from 50 years in the future. He wants to bring her back to the future with him but he cares so much about doing it that he almost dies at one point which would have screwed over the people in the past. And even if he succeeded in bringing her back, that would have created a massive paradox with two of the same character not to mention that she would just disappear since the future wouldn’t happen. Like I said, the more you think about it, the worse the story gets. The action is fine. It isn’t super impressive but it’s not bad. It’s serviceable for the story and it has its moments. The visual effects, aside from a few shots, are really impressive actually. The creature design looks terrifying and the visual effect artists do a great job making them look real. If anything, you should check this movie out for that. If you want a fun Chris Pratt movie then I would recommend checking this out but don’t expect a masterpiece.… Expand

For a scientific person , he is totally unaware of time travel paradoxes. His relation and decisions to a future family member, feels totally out of places and lacks any kinds of logic. If the humour is good, the lines they say are really weak at times. The time travel aspect is full of holes. At least the movie have good actors in it. The performance of Pratt felt somewhat, robotic at times. The FX are really AAA. Nothing bad to say about the CGI. The Aliens are very convincing. The music is pretty good. A bit out of place on 2-3 occasions. Great sound. I give it 55%. Mainly because of the secondary actors that were very solid, and the quality of the production. But that scenario and dialogues weren't amazing.… Expand

I like how this film wraps everything up into a multi-generational family healing film.

You can read some harsh negative reviews. OK - believe them if you want. I think that people are just too cynical. The plot is not that bad -- its pretty good. But if you are looking for enjoyable entertainment with a positive feeling at the end of the movie, this one works fine and should not be condemned. I will probably watch it several times.… Expand

A pathetic (and unintentional) JOKE of a movie. What makes it worse is that it has all the ingredients (A-list actor..top notch SPFX..obviously a BIG budget) to make it GREAT but is lacking the EASIEST and CHEAPEST BUT MOST IMPORTANT elementA pathetic (and unintentional) JOKE of a movie. What makes it worse is that it has all the ingredients (A-list actor..top notch SPFX..obviously a BIG budget) to make it GREAT but is lacking the EASIEST and CHEAPEST BUT MOST IMPORTANT element of any movie: GOOD WRITING/STORYLINE/PLOT!

WHATEVER you wanna call it this movie has virtually NONE of it. I usually give sci-fi/fantasy and big pass when it comes to "checking your mind at the door" and the concept of "suspension of disbelief". INDEPENDENCE DAY comes to mind in that it never took itself too seriously (Randy Quaid played as "Cousin Eddie got abducted" helped a lot in that regard..Genius! BTW) so I could give a lot of latitude to it (hacking into an alien computer to download a virus? what? where they using Windows98 or something?)

This? Tomorrow War..Jeez what a trainwreck! All I can say is thank god I can cancel my Amazon account in 30 days..so I basically got to see this for free..but what a disappointment. Much like Wonder Woman 1984 was used to get people to sign up for HBOMax..this is the same hustle. That was a bad film..and so is this..If Hollywood stars are considered BANKABLE cuz they've done so many entertaining movies (I'm thinking of Harrison Ford or Eddie Murphy back in the 80s and 90s) that audiences basically say Oh, Chris Pratt is in this movie..he was in Guardians and Avengers and Jurassic Park..I bet this has to be good.

It barrows from a lot of other science fiction properties like parts of Warhammer 40K for the aliens and the final objective is reminiscent to the plot of the movie Reign of Fire while being much better executed. But that's more originality then you will get from most Hollywood movies. The movies biggest strength is the creatures and the surprising relationship Pratt has with a female military's officer once gets to the future. Those scenes together were really powerful. Really the only thing stopping the movie from being a 10 are some minor flaws and nitpicks.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So the movie is quite good. There are a few flaws but that's to be expected when messing with time travel.
The whole concept of sending regular people to the future is explained simply in the people they're sending I.e those who wouldn't be alive at the time of the war. That's troops who otherwise wouldn't be helpful in the future

The complaints about weaponry not being technologically advanced is easily explained too. They say the teleporter is held together with chewing gum and chicken wire. That's because they don't have resources. With the whitespikes wiping out humanity so fast, all economy and technology would be unavailable (who wants to farm resources mid alien invasion) so they pooled their last resources to create the teleporter. The ideas of tanks and jets are also good, if you don't take into account that they were used (jets anyway) and seemingly sparingly, almost like they don't have the resources. Couple that with the accelerated breeding of the whitespikes, humanity is pretty outnumbered.

The ending however is a brutal paradox that ruined the movie in my eyes. How can they go to the future to learn of the whitespikes and find the toxin to kill them, if that future never existed. No future, no toxin, no knowledge of whitespikes and that's the end right there

Other than that a rather enjoyable movie… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is an insultingly dumb movie. Soldiers from the future arrive from their state of the art beauty salon to warn us about aliens attacking humanity in 2030.
Nope, that would make sense, instead soldiers from the future emerge from their beauty salon and demand we send people to their surprisingly pristine future to pointlessly die when they've already lost.
It does not occur to anyone at all to prepare to prepare to wipe out the creatures with the decade of warning they've just received. In fact no one question s anything, they all just march like lemmings to their death. It gets so much worse. It finally dawns on 2 people to do the painfully obvious thing of a pre-emptive strike in the present.
They use a child's knowledge of volcanoes to locate the aliens in Russia, at which point they tell president Putin and his elite special forces what they know. So they are able to wipe out the creature's as the should have done in the 1st place. Nope. That would make sense.
Instead the The thick heroes smuggle themselves into Russian airspace. (try doing that in real life)
They heroically kill the creature's creating a really stupid time paradox. The thing, Alien and The Terminator are 3 vastly superior movies they badly rip off. Watch those instead.… Expand

I was going to mark this review with a spoiler tag, but you cannot spoil a plot that appears to have been created by a hyperactive four year old girl. Absolutely nothing in the movie makes any practical sense. Not a single moment of the entire movie will engage your attention, simply because your brain will be saying "an idiot in a hurry would have come up with a better plan than that".

If you want to experience a virtually-unbeatable 12-foot alien (with thousands of razor-sharp teeth, armoured skin, missile launchers for hands) get punched in the face and kicked off a cliff...

...then maybe you should make up a story with your 4-year-old daughter.

You must disconnect your brain to be able to enjoy this movie, which you can, there's plenty of action sequences to do that with half-decent CGI.

I understand logic isn't your best friend when trying to enjoy science fiction movies BUT things that we can relate to in our own time and the real world should be grounded in reality to make things reasonable. You want me to believe that a Director of Research on Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at GeorgiaTech, clearly one of the top minds in his field in the entire world goes to a school kid for geology answers!?!? You are just doing slapstick comedy at that point. Don't worry, there's non-stop ridiculous writing and acting in this from start to finish.

The film deserves 0/10, but I'll give it 2 points for Strahovski (as a fan of Chuck and Handmaid's Tale but her acting in this film is pretty bad) and Pratt (the director clearly wanted some of his Starlord performance, the best I can say is that Pratt isn't terrible for some parts of the film).… Expand

I had so much hope and anticipation that this movie was going to be at least "decent" given the solid marketing budget displayed. From the onset, the movie offers a promising narrative that by the 20-minute mark has caught fire and began a terminal free-fall towards the ground. I won't rehash what others have echoed as to the gaping plot-holes and the like; I will add though that Amazon missed an opportunity here. The director/producers it seems tried to meld together Frequency (2000) with the plotline of The Day After Tomorrow (2004) and a shade of Starship Troopers (1997) all the while detracting from what made those movies likable. If the plotholes had been somewhat addressed maybe...maybe the movie could have been better. It seems that the writers sat down and said how do we achieve every movie trope we can in one sitting. Beyond a few comedic quips by ancillary characters, the movie is devoid of relief from what is otherwise a predictable plotline.… Expand

While it starts off visually appealing, those slick graphics quickly give way to bog standard concrete cooridors, warehouses and refinery sets. Much as you would expect from middle of the road sci fi.

The premise is exactly what you would expect. A war in the future, so time travel hyjinx and paradoxes ensue.

Nothing here is particularly wonderful. It just succeeds on being average and not offensively so.

One of the pros this film has is it has one of the most clearly defined 3 act setup as any film in recent memory.

Just dont let the solid performances from the cast or the early slick graphics or the later huge cgi esplosun set pieces deceive you. This is very predictable, by the numbers affair. Its reasonably watchable. I know I have wasted time on far FAR worse without half the nominal payoff this film provides. Just watch it and then just as quickly forget about it.

I really liked all of the performances here and even more I appreciated the somewhat fresh turn of where the antagonists originated. While I would likely watch this again it would be purely for the action sequences because frankly the set up for the story to move the plot forward at every point breaks my suspension of disbelief. I’m not recommending it beyond people who love sci-fi, but if you have “Prime” and if the other creature driven movies that Pratt has recently been in entertained you then you might enjoy spending the time on this popcorn flick. (I didn’t know were to put this, but Sam Richardson is quickly becoming someone who if they are in a movie or TV show I’ll watch it. He’s really entertaining and he doesn’t disappoint here.)… Expand

I do think the movie could have been shorten just a bit, like the few first minutes of the movie doesn't really add that much to the film and could of honestly skipped the first 5-10mins. Because this movie is like 2hrs which is definitely a time commitment.

A grip in the toilet.

Here is totally relied on CGI and Pratt. The first looks good and the second disappoints across the board.
In the end, a film remains that is ridiculous in terms of content and cannot be saved even by the exaggerated CGI.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm somewhat surprised that from all the reviews I've read, no one has mentioned the obvious time paradox that exist because of the ending. If anything was used from the future, whether that be tangible or information, to defeat the aliens in the past than the obvious conclusion has to be that the time line starts over again and the same process takes place exactly as it did before. If the aliens are defeated in the past, using anything from the future than the war never happens, the future people never come back to warn them, the serum is never developed and no one would remember anything that happened. By the speculated science of time travel, the only proper ending given the rest of the story would be, as soon as the aliens were defeated, using anything from the future to do so, the movie would start over with the story being exactly the same. The only way to defeat the aliens, again given the rest of the story is to develop weapons and defenses to combat the aliens and not deploy them until after the future folks come back to issue there warning. Or, they could develope the serum, but it wouldn't be able to be deployed until right after Chris Pratt jumps back to the past. This is the only way for the aliens to be defeated, using anything from the future, without resetting the entire timeline. Pratt's character even mentions this at the end of the film when he says, " She will never know about a future that never existed," therefore neither can that particular present.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The idea behind the film isn't bad, although telegraphed and without any real plot twist. but what really doesn't hold up is the script. Too many things don't add up, creating notable holes in the plot.

Attention, from here on, it contains partial spoilers!

The first example of weird plot hole is that it's unclear what is the purpose of sending citizens poorly armed and untrained to only being slaughtered, instead of concentrating the effort in researching better weapons and armors and send only trained soldiers. Also, why use such inadequate weapons as assault rifles, which obviously do very little damage to super-armored mega-aliens? It is difficult to believe that there are no more sophisticated weapons 30 years in the future, when rockets, missiles, flamethrowers and grenades, never used by soldiers, are already there today and would do much more damage to the aliens.
Again, when they finally discover the serum and immediately the bad monsters attack the base, I understand that they don't want to waste the only dose on the captured queen, but why don't they kill her in the traditional way with some other weapon?
There are many other plot holes, for example in the management of paradoxes related to time travel, I will not list them all, but the general impression is that the development of the script, although the subject was good, was a lazy job made by amateurish people. Such a pity.… Expand

The Tomorrow War is a big movie that is just trying to be a show, and part of me would be happy to leave it at that, if it weren't so empty in most of its elements.

The main problem would be that it tries to be an epic and does not succeed.
The scale is ambitious of course, but the execution is flawed.

Another problem would be Chris Pratt, who is basically another Ryan Reynolds.
The guy has no rank, c'mon.

The Tomorrow War is merely a blockbuster attempt that I really believe would have failed miserably in theaters, and that says a lot.

If you're looking for something to pass the time this weekend, you will undoubtedly have an offer that will cover a two-hour fee.
After the weekend, it will be completely forgotten.… Expand

The story is as linear as it can get, there's no criss crossing or layering. Actually, nothing is explained in great detail, so when you're trying to invest in the lore, you can't. it's like Pratt has a force field around him, in fact it's like the danger is always one foot away and never able to pounce because the characters are needed for the story to continue.

Some of the scenes are done really well, they make you pay attention and you can tell underneath, there's some real authentic ideas when it comes to cinematography.

Well the overall actions and story was satisfying to the average viewer, I wish writters would consult experts before filming their stories. They used a reference to time being a river within the story and how they are paddling up and down stream to time travel. Although that theory is a good theory what problem it creates is in the story SPOILER they Donnie Darko it by making it that nothing that happened in the movie could have possibly happened with how it ends. You can't stop something in the past without rewriting the future if you use the river theory. Therefore the story does not make sense. The moment they killed the last alien the entire timeline would have corrected itself stopping the first time travelers. Had they fast forwarded to the creation of the time machine and ended the war there that could have worked. Kills the story for all intellectual people watching.… Expand

The story seem to look like Starship Troopers at first that catches the attention, but surprisingly goes to a different direction and twist later on. Chris Pratt and Yvonne Strahovski did a great job to play out their characters, and the supporting cast were convincing enough with their limited screen time. There is also a nice balance of story-telling and action scenes in the movie to keep the viewer interested. Overall, the movie is not at all ground-breaking but was "enjoyable" to watch, and it sends a discreet basic "moral lesson" on how to be a better human person that is lacking in movies nowadays.… Expand

It's a poor remake of other, more successful movies: in fact it is a mishmash of a lot of other movies and include things such as "hero poses", "hero speech", implausible situations, etc. Not worth your time, it was a waste of mine. Nothing to save: actors are acting poorly, soundtrack and sound effects are unimpressive, visual effects are okay, action scenes are laughable, politically correct stereotypes play a key role in this production (including global warming). Switch off your mind and you may enjoy this production, anything else will leave you very disappointed.

I feel the need to add a few things to my review: in more than 30 years, the army and its contractors did not develop any new technology to destroy living things, no new bullets, nothing to target intelligently these creatures, no new firearms nothing, despite the fact that we literally have drones being operated from the other side of the planet now? In the present, it sends off untrained civilians with the equivalent of bb guns which have almost no effects on any of those creatures ?

At least in the edge of tomorrow, the attack is sudden and nobody cares about time-space continuum, not even the aliens.… Expand

The plot of director Chris McKay's overlong saga of a man vs. alien war fought across time is riddled with more holes than a gun range target. Even the special effects, which should be the biggest asset in a production like this, leave much to be desired, frequently going on far too long and bringing new meaning to the term "silly." Had the movie more earnestly embraced the campiness factor on which it so often borders (a la "Starship Troopers" (1997)), this probably would have been a much better picture, not to mention a lot more fun. To its credit, the film's closing sequence helps to make up for much of what preceded it, but, by then, it's too little too late. And, as for the performances, all I can say is that cast members like Chris Pratt and J.K. Simmons really must have needed the money to become associated with a project as awful as this. Thankfully, the credits eventually do roll, but not until I've surrendered 2:20 of my life that I'll never get back.… Expand

The main problem I had with this movie is that it isn't consistent in how it treats its own world and that ruined the experience for me. If that is a deal breaker for you as well, don't touch this movie.

I am fine with the logical problems time travel stories pose and I was expecting a shallow action flick, which is certainly what I got. At the very least, characters in a movie need to react in consistence with themselves and their world though, for us to believe their emotions. I felt like this was not the case at all.

The enemies in this movie get initially presented as very powerful killers, almost impervious to small arms fire and therefore a single enemy poses a serious threat to an entire squad. Only moments later the number of enemies multiplies and while this should mean the end of the movie from a consistent POV, the rules just change. And not in a way that can be cognitively grasped. The threat level just changes, to make scenes work.

This dynamic gets WAY WORSE during the rest of the movie, when suddenly single shots from small arms fire outright kill the same enemies (the problem wasn't the aiming). It makes no sense at all and the movie just pushes forward throwing in stuff that either contradicts things that happened before or just never gets explained.

When you get to the end, a serious decision is made for how to tackle a mission that is so outright idiotic that you can only laugh, when the movie wants you to think that this is a well thought out decision that demands a lot of the protagonists. It's just stupid. Wasted acting potential on a horrible script.… Expand

You get to see a lot of their tech in action, beautiful explosions, camaraderie, talk about courage and heroism and protecting your children. And, did you know, they have a science division for nerds? Girls are welcome too. Politics is useless, but when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Be your best self. You don't know what you have until you have to defend it, and so on.
Beside the tropes from the brochure, the movie doesn't have much to offer. The story is thin, there is no room for the nuances you would expect in a war movie, and it is about an hour too long. But the target audience, i.e. people who enlist, will probably like it.… Expand
