It's fine, very silly in places. I wish they expanded on the time machine a bit more, like why it is so limited. The ending is rushed and cheesy

Every movie with Chrispy Rat is amazing. Yeah, it has the typical cheesy movie fallbacks. Like unlimited ammo and unnecessary drama, but overall it is a fantastic movie with a great plot/premise.

Oh une exclu Amacon qui envoit du bois et qui sort l’artillerie lourde ! du moins, pendant sans doute -tout bien considéré- un cinquième du film, grosso merdo. Une action bien réalisée et des effets spéciaux très réussis même si en tant que «Oh une exclu Amacon qui envoit du bois et qui sort l’artillerie lourde ! du moins, pendant sans doute -tout bien considéré- un cinquième du film, grosso merdo. Une action bien réalisée et des effets spéciaux très réussis même si en tant que « divertissement familial », on ne voit évidemment… quasiment pas de sang !

Bien que les monstres soient extrêmement agressifs et brutaux, du genre des bestioles de Starship Troopers, on n’est pas… dans Starship Troopers ! dommage, car vers le début du film, ç’aurait dû tourner à la boucherie (épique) vu les baltringues qu’ils envoient dans « la guerre du futur » : des gros, des ménagères de moins de 50 ans et des débiles qui ne savent même pas par quel bout prendre le fusil. Une explication oiseuse et pitoyable tente d’expliquer ça mais c’est vraiment nous prendre pour des cons !…

Pour le reste et entre les affrontements, c’est surtout et avant tout du bavardage pathétique et de la guimauve à deux centimes de dollar… puis, vers la fin, une pirouette du scénar (dont ne voudrait même pas le dernier nanar en vogue) conclut ce gros film de gros débiles !

On note dans cette production de chez Amacon une grande présence de diversité multiculturaliste inclusive obligatoire : c’est presque… pire que chez Netflisque, dites-moi… faudrait peut-être se calmer un peu à cet égard. Quand même. On note cependant -à part le blaireau de base Chris Pratt- la charmante Yvonne, ce qui nous rassérène quelque peu dans cette grosse merdasse hollywoodienne de chez Amacon. Mais bon, voilà quoi.… Expand

As a fan of Scifi movies I did not enjoy this movie because pretty much everything that happens is stupid. Nothing makes any sense. The Action is the only part of the movie that works.

Probably the worst $200 million movie ever made. Comically bad acting, plot, writing, and directing. Great CGI! I'd recommend being wasted while watching.

1) Beach/summer film, a popcorn movie: but after the lockdown shouldn't we have stopped with junk food?
2) Typical inconsistencies and incongruities of stories with time travel: do we have to resign ourselves or nip them once and for all? Maybe one day we'll decide.
3) Work that, under the superficial facade, would conceal two types of depth: the intergeneration pact, that is, the assumption of responsibility by parents to guarantee a future for their children, and the familistic melò essential to guarantee the receipts to a Hollywood blockbuster.
4) Speaking of blockbusters, there are multiple and repeated allusions to this kind of product in its 90s version. Operation nostalgia or a well-deserved tribute?
5) Does the final result justify such a detailed analysis? Mah.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Decent usual sci-fi, The story was usual and the pacing was little off and on, The music and cgi was good and the acting was amazing, The time-travel was not that complex and the whole survival concept was intense in future, The most time movie focus on family and survival aspect which lessess the action but whatever it was it was awesome, The starting intro and 30mins were slow, The future people invade and whole help us thing and then the voulenteer stuff it was dramatic with the death day stuff, The father and son dynamic at start as hated one the acting of jk simons is brilliant, The timetravel scene and the ensemble to the mission and the first jump it felt awesome, Then the rescue mission and escape was intense, Then the future version of daughter and the father's relationship and the monster queen kidnap with dozen of monster army around it was amazing, Then the before back to past scene the daughters sacrifice and that whole falling sequence was eye catchingly beautiful then back to past the final mission to find alien ship, The school boy help was fun and the snowy mission and fight at russia it was intensely amazing the queen monster fight and the dad's humor at end it was a good end then the family meet at the end it was satisfying, Overall it was little slow but the family stuff and the monsters were good, Its a decent movie!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tomorrow War? Wait for the Remake if You Value Your Time.

Amazon Prime’s Tomorrow War is worth the price of admission: nothing. This big mess of a movie has science fiction fans screaming for a do-over. A do-over with a new script. A do-over with different lead actors. A do-over with just about any other living breathing director. Keep the supporting cast, especially the child actors and the Academy Award winning actor J.K. Simmons, who plays the male lead’s (Chris Pratt) father. Yes, J.K. Simmons also has an entertaining full-time gig as the front man for Farmers Insurance. Simmons small part in this movie provides some of the only welcome relief points in this story. Of special note is his scene at the end of this disaster film. He delivers the best, and funniest lines, which hopefully will make it onto a Best Movie Line list someday.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay, let me start by saying i'm a starcraft player. Seeing the enemies in this made my extremely joyful... zergling/hyrdalisk offbreed(DUDE LETS GO) they are really cool looking!!! However, in terms of acting/settings/characters/writing... wow did this tank. Im thinking "chris pratt, alien life form, Jurassic park, avengers....." Havent ever seen an end of the the world movie thats in the form of a comedy. Yes there are comedy breaks in end of the world movies... but not movies about alien lifeforms that will rip you to shreds violently be written by the same dude of the step brothers.
Acting: Subpar
Setting: Great
Writing: They hired some hobo to write it
Cast: ok
Trying to make the people laugh while your running from an alien lifeform about to eat your heart out: too priceful....
Next time chris, tell the writers you know better than to say **** 70 times in a row as if you were trying to add humor, it just ruined the movie from there.
2/10, at best.

My review: I could fall asleep watching this, no matter how loud the explosions, how cool the enemies, the cast. Its really not worth your time… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked the movie, it is an ok one, but there are a lot of issues with it This movie was more thought as a man's redemption story and his fixing his past and future family issues rather than a sci fi or horror movie, and even then it makes little sense, and they really didn't think their science very well for this movie It has its funny moments and its tear jerkers, but then when you think of it, that stops on its tracks, here is why: First, what makes no sense about the father daughter story, if what is thought(And it is not science per se) about time travel would be true, then Muri telling daddy how he died and that he left them, would've erased that Muri(even if there are different timelines created, because it would be HIM the one that knows and can avoid that fate, so for him and Muri of that timeline it would've all changed) Now going about the aliens The dad is a super smart scientist, yet when the daughter tells him he is taking the toxin back to mass produce it so they can stop the white-spikes, he says he is coming back for her and won't let her die, if you are a scientist you would immediately deduce that if you change what caused the war, if you kill them, that future is gone, so he'd've saved her The way they come out to invade also makes 0 sense, they are totally unresponsive until they start to get inyected, so how did they go out to the surface and start the invasion?… Expand

It is fun at times, but the tone of the whole thing is off. The scenes that should be funny aren't all that funny. The touching scenes aren't. And the usually charming Chris Pratt isn't. He just seems to be working SO hard to be light and breezy and sincere...and he comes of totally generic. Just like the aliens. Yet another film where the aliens are essentially giant insects that can't really be killed by the firing the really fast guns at them. A supporting cast with promise, but little to do. Sam Richardson, normally effortlessly funny, shows himself sweating. Betty Gilpen is wasted as "the wife" when she could bring so much more to the table. JK Simmons is actually quite good, but then they give him little to do. I'd say Yvonne Strahovski (who I was guilty of under-estimating until she blew me away in HANDMAID'S TAIL) comes off best. She handles her weapons well, and brings just about the only glimmers of emotion to the whole affair.

The time travel element is unusual, but holds very little credibility. Warriors arrive from the future (this is NOT a spoiler unless you haven't seen a preview) to everyone that mankind is near the end and the only solution is to bring more soldiers from OUR time to the future to help fight. They invented time travel (never explained) and used it to recruit soldiers with no training to fight a war with weapons that don't do jack squat anyway. They didn't come with an idea of nipping the aliens in the bud before they get started??? Or simply to warn folks to start preparing? Maybe bring a dead alien back to start figuring out how to kill them? Nope. The basic concept of this movie is just brain dead and it's hard not to get incredibly frustrated with it.

The action scenes, while a little generic, are fun and frantic and provide the requisite entertainment value. But that's pretty skimpy for a 2 hour 20 minute movie. It felt longer. No action movie should feel too long...you should be breathless and excited, not vaguely bored.

Disappointing film.… Expand
