This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a gigantic abomination of foolish plot, bad screen writing, poor character development, lazy acting, uninspiring action scenes, and a thousand middle fingers to logic and physics.

I don't know where to start, below are just the tip of the iceberg:

1. Giving automatic weapons to a bunch of untrained frightened civilians then sending them to an unknown (to them) battlefield facing enemy that wiped out future professional military forces. What a brilliant idea! I am sure they know how to aim and shoot within days of training.
2. Releasing the safety on guns before the jump. Super! I am sure none of them will accidentally pull the trigger and shoot guys in the front since none of them are nervous or physically uncomfortable during the jump.
3. Falling from the sky into a swimming pool on top of a building will definitely save your life. At the beginning of the movie, Dan fell about 10-12 secs before reaching the pool, that's about 500-700 meters of free fall. They just fell about 500 -700 meters into a pool of water about 1-2 meters deep at the speed of around 90/s, no big deal!
4. Someone fell on top of him too, piece of cake!
5. And someone else fell on the ground instead of the pool, looks painful but certainly not dead, because they were still talking.
6. We finally see the monsters. These things shoot spikes from their tails and cannot fly, but they wiped out the human race who has tanks and fighter jets. Sure, why not? Human suck.
7. And these monsters run super slow, couldn't even catch up with the fat dude.
8. Where did those Humvees come from? Never mind, forget it.
9. Monsters like to stop and roar when they almost catch up with people.
10. In the future, ampoules in the bio labs are made with bullet-proof glasses because you never know when there will be a danger-close explosion around.
11. If you want Dan to stay in the helo, why bringing him along at the first place?
12. These monsters can be killed by .50 cal or get ran over by a Humvee but they wiped human from the earth, because human suck.
13. The queen understood that human found the effective toxin so she called for help, or she happened to wake up and called for help. Either way, good timing.
14. I understand you need to bring the toxin back to the past so you don't want to use it on the queen in present. But couldn't you just kill the queen with, you know, a grenade, or a bazooka, or a flamethrower, or .50 cal or whatever. For a lab to hold this very dangerous creature, you really don't have a contingency plan.
15. They kept saying these creatures are smart. If these monsters know how to use the time travel device, or at least destroy it to prevent Dan from jumping back, I will give this movie a 5-star.
16. Now I look back to all missions in the future: retrieving things/people from the lab, capturing the queen, making the toxin, sending it back to the past, -- none of these missions really need people from the past, or Dan. Couldn't the future people just do all these then travel back to the past to deliver the toxin?
17. That glass veil Dan was holding survived all the explosions, jump and fall.
18. Wife figured out what the entire future generation of scientists couldn't -- monsters didn't land in 2048, they were already here.
19. Red shirt dude has a claw of the FIRST monster ever killed. So the future human never killed a monster until they recruited some badass civilians from the past? Yep, future human suck and deserve extinction.
20. They analyzed the claw of the first monster ever kill and made a plot-twisting finding. I guess the future human never thought of analyzing the monster bodies.
21. If you have some volcano questions, go ask a school kid. Definitely not some college professors or scientist or researchers. I guess they were all drafted and died in the future.
22. The whole world united together and sent their military to the future to fight a war and save humanity. But they couldn't convince Russia to at least take a look at one of their own glaciers.
23. Even if that big-ass C130 can make it to Russia undetected, how did they land?
24. A few C-4 made such a huge explosion and flames indicating that those space-traveling aliens were still using fossil fuel.
25. Every second of the final fight.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The plot and the visual realization of the film are a mixup of Alien, Independence Day, World War Z, Starship Troopers and any movie that tries to solve problems by traveling through time. The whole story is full of predictable plots and situations and characters that sacrifice themselves like heroes. In the end, it’s global warming that freed the alien space ship in the first place! So nothing really surprising here. The visual effects are rather poor, hard to imagine that this movie had been planed for a theatrical release. Paramount can be glad that they sold it to Amazon and this saved them an embarrassment at the box office.… Expand

Ignore the negative “critic” reviews and check it out for yourself! Form your own opinion. Im glad I did. It had sci-fi, action, time travel, great acting, great script, some humor, and a lot of heartfelt moments. A lot of pro relationships and family messages. It has a lot of action with some intense alien monster scenes so I don’t know if it would be good for kids. It reminded me some of the movie Independence Day with Will Smith. Humanity coming together to stop alien invasion from destroying them. It has sci-fi stuff which a lot of times has stuff in it that doesn’t make sense. You have to suspend belief some, like you do for any sci-fi movie (such as Avengers) because it has stiff in it that doesn’t exist currently in reality. Also claims saying it doesn’t know what kind of movie it wants to be, doesn’t make sense to me. It is a sci-fi alien save human race type movie and it has other stuff in it like family moments and mending family relationships that is refreshing to me. It didn’t all fit a movie category formula. And that was refreshing to me as often real life doesn’t fit a formula. I enjoyed it and it had some more Intense scenes than I was expecting. But overall I enjoyed it and was moved by it, especially some of father daughter and family scenes.

Welcome Back to Stream to Big Screen! This week let's take a trip to the future to fight The Tomorrow War. This Prime Video summer blockbuster was released for streaming this Independence Day weekend. A sci-fi, action, adventure, thrillerWelcome Back to Stream to Big Screen! This week let's take a trip to the future to fight The Tomorrow War. This Prime Video summer blockbuster was released for streaming this Independence Day weekend. A sci-fi, action, adventure, thriller what more could a viewer ask for on a holiday weekend. The Tomorrow War depicts a future world in which a group of time-traveling soldiers arrive and ask for help to fight a global war against a deadly alien species. Among those recruited is high school teacher and family man, Dan Forester (Chris Pratt). Determined to save the world for his young daughter, Dan teams up with a brilliant scientist (Yvonne Strahovski) and a rag tag crew to rid the world of these aliens. Let's see if it's worth watching.

The Tomorrow War has so much potential. I mean just check out the trailer below. It had some creative elements, but then the filmmakers decided to make it as predictable and cliched at every possible moment you'd expect. I mean this is like the greatest mish mosh of summer blockbuster movies I've ever seen. If you like any of the movies I'm about to say, you will absolutely like or be entertained by The Tomorrow War. Here we go: this movie was concocted in a lab with remnants of Independence Day, World War Z, Edge of Tomorrow with a little mix of Prometheus. I mean that's a pretty good line-up... right?! Yeah, but not when you know the everything before they happen. For what it's worth, the story is sincere at times, but then again, it's the same story we've seen. "I gotta save my daughter..." *boo hoo!* "Oh wow these aliens are dangerous... let's go do some reckless stuff that doesn't make sense to stop them." Shock and awe!

Anyway, Chris Pratt is typically a solid actor, but here he was just Pratt from everything else. He's part Peter Quill, Grady from Jurassic World and shoot even Emmett Brickowski (just kidding but that made me chuckle). The rest of the cast is ok at best but shout out to J. K. and him bringing extra swag to this flick. They didn't use him that much but his scenes were worth it. Either way, just like the characters falling in the movie this movie is chalk full of plot holes. Some holes are so big you get Tenet-brain. You ask, "what's Tenet-brain, S2S?" Tenet-brain, formerly Inception-brain, is when you really start to think about what happens in the movie the movie just gives you a headache and or comes apart at the seams. It's best to go into a potential Tenet-brain movie with an open and empty mind. Let the movie just entertain you and not inform you. As this movie runs for 2 hours and 15 minutes, they try to inform you a lot and you have to duck and dodge all of the plot holes that might make you think. The movie feels like 4 different movies in one and while that may seem good... it just feels so long.

SUPER LONG STORY short, The Tomorrow War is a solid movie that was just too protracted. Led by Chris Pratt as a less annoying Peter Quill, the movie is entertaining and family friendly with the action and thrills many like to watch. The Tomorrow War absolutely could've come to the theaters and done well as a long standing matinee flick but it's probably better suited as a streaming flick on Amazon Prime with a bowl of popcorn.… Expand

This however is nothing like Edge of Tomorrow and is much more focused on the future and the past. This is such a surprise that I will gladly go to the cinemas if they will ever release it on there. Not only is this very wholesome, but it has a ton of positive aspects that I adore and would love to see more of. Very happy that it's also not woke.

Is it perfect though? Hell no, there are not many explanations and there are quite a few plot holes, but if you consider the timespan and the quick action that it requires, it gets much more believable.

In short, best movie since even before the koof koof.… Expand

I'm still always surprised at how many people vote anything a 0-3. Did this movie personally attack you? Anyway, Chris Pratt did a solid job, with the rest of the cast being decent. The visuals are really good most of the time, and one scene in particular looked really cool. Props to the visual team. The music is terrific too. But, it isn't all roses and candy. This movie has 3 issues that prevented it from being great. The pacing, the writing, and its delivery as a whole. The pacing is all over the place. The music gets you ramped up for when Pratt and company go to the future, and just falls flat with the action. You expect Pratt to be on this rollercoaster ride in the future, and he is.....for a little while. The down time is really dry, and honestly boring at times. I kept thinking that these would be perfect opportunities for the cast to shine with some heartfelt, emotional scenes where their acting chops would be on full display. Not really. There are a few moments where Pratt delivers a great performance, but there are others that just fall flat. I'm not sure if this is directing, or just on the actor. But to Pratt's(and the rest of the cast's) credit, the writing is just 'meh' for a majority of the movie. Unfortunately, most movies currently released suffer from poor writing. It's rare, when a movie is written well, or even decently nowadays. There were moments when I was shocked at how poor the dialogue between two characters was. This is what these people do for a living? Really? Most fans could do better with a team to help them. It's crazy that this is a serious issue that many films and TV shows suffer from in 2021. Where are the creative minds that gave us terrific stories in the semi-recent past? I hope that this trend doesn't continue, but it isn't looking very good.

The delivery. It's just okay. As I've mentioned, you have poor writing and bad pacing, which makes it awfully hard to nail the landing on delivering a good movie. Many of the story choices had me scratching my head. Why would you put this here? Why would someone say that? How can you mess up a movie with a large budget and a good cast? I think we've all been wondering that with many of our favorite franchises over the past few years. This movie is no exception.

So, how can I give the movie a 7 after I've spent most of the review covering the negatives? It was entertaining. It had me engaged for most of its runtime. Was I happy with everything? No, not really. But it was honestly better than what I thought it was going to be, and it had a lot of near misses. What I mean by that, is that it had many scenes that were forgettable, but if they would have had a little better writing, a little better pacing, and a script that the actors could get behind, this movie would have been huge. Overall, I like the movie. The problem is that I wanted to love it. It's just missing some of the key ingredients that make movies great.

I would recommend this movie, but temper your expectations and don't expect anything amazing.… Expand

I thought that the CGI was very obvious and stuck out like a sore thumb, the physics and lighting was off so it was obvious the CG aliens were not actually there in the environment so that took away any tension or threat for me. The aliens were shouty with pointy teeth but not menacing at all.

No wonder it missed the cinema and went straight to streaming, I think it would have been a flop.… Expand

Don't get me wrong there were enjoyable moments in the movie sure but this movie doesn't know what it wants to be. It starts out fine enough chris pratt going through what you might call a mid life crisis(almost akin to walter white in breaking bad) and the movie does a decent job with the introduction of major plot point of the time travel war. But the movie does an absolutely terrible job of explaining anything. The premise of why only certain people can travel to the future and vice versa is actually a great one. It makes absolute sense in this case why the actual military isn't enough. But the idea that sending untrained, ill equipped, uninformed civillians into a war zone is just so astonishingly stupid. The movie gives the reasoning that the future is so close to the brink of falling that they just need expendable shock troops to buy time but the draft is done so poorly and without any semblance of logic that you can't help but just scoff at it. Most of the characters introduced can barely be called characters, they are just mentioned so they can be used one more time close to the finale of the movie. The only major characters are chris prat and the Co of R force. But their emotional "moment" is so forced. As if they screen writers were telling you HEY THIS IS SAD FEEL BAD FOR CHRIS PRATT, but you can't they movie shouldn't make you feel sympathy for a character through their own actions. When watching spider man 2 for instance you feel for peter parker because he's just a guy who can't catch a break. You feel for tom hanks in castaway because you can understand his loneliness and despair. I can't feel anything for chris prat because he hasn't really done enough for me to care about him. They needed to spend more time establishing his failings as a father/husband and not just say you were a bad so and so and therefore should feel bad. Every thing that occurs in the future is so cliched so nonsensical and completely idiotic that you can't help but wonder WOW no wonder why they are losing so poorly. Just to give an example of how stupidly this movie is written. The main bad guys the whitespikes are mostly immune to gunfire unless aimed precisely at their throat and abdomen. Yet every single draftee is armed with basic weapons you'd find in any military movie. Very clearly an m14 doesn't work why are you arming them with these. Later on they attempt to capture a whitespike for study and how do they do this? They use Neanderthal tactics and attempt to have regular humans(albeit well trained ones) TIE THEM DOWN WITH ROPES(metal ropes but still) and that goes about as well as you would expect. How could you possibly feel empathy for their plight when they are so stupid you have to wonder how they get dressed in the morning? The finale of the movie is okay, just okay. All of the one line characters get brought back like HEY REMEMBER THIS GUY HE WAS IMPORTANT THE ENTIRE TIME. But I will give credit where credit is due, in the last fight they actually make a good decision and the design of the whitespikes is pretty good. Its no xenomorph but it looks intimidating their effectiveness is shown decently well.

Final verdict- It's incredibly mediocre, you can call out every plot point before it happens because you've probably seen it done a dozen times over. The premise is actually interesting and the action scenes are fairly good. If you just want an okay movie to watch with friends and not really think about it than it does that just well. It is mostly inoffensive besides the emotional melodrama at the midway point.… Expand

The decisions made by characters are sloppy. Scenes: Scientist Muri is doing all the research and coming up with a solution without a team of scientists and then put herself in danger when she's very important to saving the world. Their weapons are lame, despite being in the future... When today's weapons are advance. Security wise, why there's no army personnel while doing the experiment? Why put her to a loose chain? Why can't they install robotics to do the sedation?
Why didn't get to tell the weaknesses of the aliens somehow? Humans are curious creatures and likes researching... At least, the move could have shared a bit of their strengths and weaknesses. And the government's decision over funding their trip to Russia? They didn't want because the tax payers money is important and knew the world is ending anyway? What's another plane? And then asking a high school student about volcanoes when they can ask scientists who specializes in volcanoes etc. For better info.… Expand

Three sequences stood out for me; the part when the future soldiers invade the football game, the jump into the future and the attack on the human base. I found the last part of the film to be somewhat bolted-on however, there are numerous well-worn tropes found in other films (starship troopers, aliens, the thing, etc).

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I really, really liked it. Although it does have a bit slow start that's confusingly different in styl, it kicks off later. The buildup of the monsters is great, and although their design isn't really anything spectacular, the way they move, the way they're revealed, the first encounter reminds me classics like Aliens (although nowhere as good). When i compare this movie to other recent CGI monster borefests, there's one big difference. I was actually emotionally invested in this one, much to my surprise. Someone recommended this movie to me, i decided to check it out late at night, and couldn't stop watching. Although we're used to Chris Pratt as the lovable dumbass, he can pull of a badass character (as long as he doesn't take himself seriously). The premise is simple. 30yrs from now, monsters invade the Earth (noone actually knows where from, no spaceship, no asteroid), humanity is down to 500K people, so a time-machiney wormhole to draft people from the past (our present time) is created. Draftees get a special implant/device that sends them to the future for a week ("tour of duty"), after which they're automatically pulled back to their original timeline (as long as they still have pulse). Survivors of the tours are often horribly mangled, PTSD'd to the point they can't even talk. Survival rate is cca 27%. This builds up the coming conflict really well. We don't know what the monsters do, what they look like, just that they're everywhere and hard to kill. Our unwilling hero is an Iraq veteran (although not the usual movie kind, he left army and teaches science in high school), lives in suburbs with wife and small daughter. He gets drafted. He considers escaping with his family, but in the end goes in, and that's where the action starts. Something goes wrong, the draftees get misdropped to a heavily infested area, and fight for survival starts. Seeing the monsters on pictures or in trailer doesn't do them justice. There is a lot of them, they move extremely fast and they are very hard to kill, they are a huge threat. Although i in no way compare this movie to Aliens in terms of quality, there were moments where the monsters made me think about Aliens, in a good way. But Aliens also had a great supporting cast, which is missing here. The few draftees that survive the first encounter are sent to a FOB, where Chris Pratt meets his (now adult) daughter. She's researching anti-monster toxin. They already got one that works on the male warriors (tons of them), but not on females (only few, hiding in dens). So they need to nab a live one to do tests. They do, but in the process trigger a massive attack on the wormhole generator base. Shortly after Chris Pratt is sent back to his original timeline, wormhole gets destroyed. So he now has a toxin that kills the monsters, but he's back 30yrs before the conflict even began. When he was gone, world started tearing itself apart from the weight of the knowledge that mankind might lose the coming war. There are riots, wars breaking out, and everything looks like people will kill each other off before the monsters even get here. The way the monsters are dealt with in the end isn't really surprising (there's a "twist" that isn't twist for anyone who ever seen any other SF movie), but i was satisfied anyway. For an Amazon monster movie-it's good, a whole level above the competition. The main cast is likeable, the monsters are terrifying, and i was emotionally invested during most of it, which is something almost none of the recent netflix/amazon type of movies were able to pull off. I was also glad, that there wasn't heavy-handed identity politics message crammed in, and all the strong female or "diverse" characters were strong because it made sense in their respective situations, i.e.they trained and/or studied their whole lives to be good at what they do, not just because some studio exec wanted a box ticked. What i didn't like was the cheesy "people from the future" reveal. The first people who originally jump into our current timeline are soldiers. They appear on a soccer field in the middle of a game, and somehow get immediately connected to the TVs broadcasting the match live, and give speech about who they are and what they came to do. IMO this didn't need to be in the movie at all. It could have been handled via exposition, or even via text at the start of the movie. I know that movies should show, not tell, but the soccer stadium scene almost made me turn the movie off, it's that bad. The 2nd thing i didn't like was that the supporting cast almost isn't there. There's the main hero, his family, and that's about it. Apart from them, there are like two 1dimensional stereotypes (a comic relief and a badass veteran who never smiles), everyone else is just a side dish for the monsters. So, although this movie doesn't do anything new, what it does it does reasonably well, and i had a great time watching it.… Expand

There were plot holes you could drive a truck through, but it's a popcorn movie, so I can appreciate it. Plus its streamed, so you don't have to tolerate being surrounded by obnoxious strangers.

8/10 if you don't like sci-fi, 9/10 if you do like sci-fi. The closest any sci-fi-actioner movie has come to Doug Limon's and Tom Cruise's Edge of Tomorrow (Live Die, Repeat).

The closest any sci-fi-actioner movie has come to Doug Limon's and Tom Cruise's Edge of Tomorrow (Live Die, Repeat). Lacks the originality of Edge yet has absolutely everything else going great for it. Completely watchable with good development of secondary characters. Great Weta effects. I was expecting a not-ready-for-theaters script and found it all better than expected. Congratulations and appreciation to all involved.… Expand

Turn your brain off like it is one of those zombie apocalypse movies. The 3act story felt like a Sunday cartoon but for young adults but played by a 40yr+ old Chris Pratt.

The 3act story felt like a Sunday cartoon but for young adults but played by a 40yr+ old Chris Pratt. Within 4mins, I could tell that this is a lazy careless movie, Christ Pratt is half a food from a car on the street, after an edit, he is 4ft away in the middle of the street while he was standing still. The humor ruined most of the serious moments. It was pretty funny to me how everything they did in act 2 was made completely pointless in act3 to a point they didnt need the story development in act 2.… Expand

Exactly what an original action flick should be. Good enough acting, well-paced narrative, thilling action scenes, scary monsters, and a few genuinely tear-jerking sad moments. The CG was also really good. It's by no means the best actionExactly what an original action flick should be. Good enough acting, well-paced narrative, thilling action scenes, scary monsters, and a few genuinely tear-jerking sad moments. The CG was also really good. It's by no means the best action flick ever. There are several plot holes in the story, and some of the set-pieces feel pretty derivative (Alien and Edge of Tomorrow come to mind), but the movie was plenty entertaining. Additionally, nothing about the movie was preachy, which is sadly rare these days.… Expand

Solid movie. Nothing special, but I like Chris Pratt, and Yvonne Strahovski is one of the key voice actors for Mass Effect, which I didn't realize right away - both of them did a really good job.
