The Tomorrow War, starring Chris Pratt and JK Simmons, is a dumb, obvious, cliched sci-fi action movie. It's also surprisingly fun. Join me as I find out why.

Hey Critical i thought that the reason he becomes estranged from his family is because he goes into the future, comes back all fked up and then ends up like his father and ends up dying alone which fucks up his daughter? If this isnt what was portrayed then i guess i just made it up as I was watching and dont tell me any different because my reality though wrong is better. and with the time thing they conscript anyone who is already dead so they cant lose anyone alive in the future... isnt that the same reason they send back young people who have no way of meeting themselves? again if wrong dont tell me any different because of above reasons

@Thom Hagan the daughter was only a major and was in a scientific role which is very different from a major who is commanding combat units. I don't remember if we ever find out the rank of the one who time travels in the beginning but she was mostly just a liaison between the actual military leadership in the future and contemporary governments and militaries. my point here is that neither one of those characters were really in any sort of significant military leadership role one of my issues with the movie was that we never got to see something like a future high command meeting, it would have been nice to have a 5 or 10 minute scene where combat commanders are planning the last stand, perhaps they could have used that opportunity to squeeze in an explanation for the time machine managing to survive long enough

Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

Also there is no way that the creatures can apparently teleport because there is no way they could have arrived there in time if they had to travel on foot. And if they had effective tranquilizers they could have just used though from the start. Furthermore they didn't need the live queen. They could have just blown her up and collected her remains.

From Chris Pratt's daughter being an MIT grad, to the volcano boy, to Sam Richardson's character, the message I saw being pushed was that we should strive for more of those intellectual roles. However, it's never lecturing, nor does it go the normal Hollywood route of downplaying the military, it doesn't talk down to anyone. It also acknowledged PTSD (again, without being overbearing). It was a fun little scifi flick

But that DOES NOT AVOID THE PARADOX. The very fact they reached backwards in time creates the paradox because in the original timeline no one reached backwards in time. AND that does not mean those people would not have given birth between point A and point B. FURTHERMORE you are forgetting the Butterfly Effect. You don't have to be alive to change the timeline. If you utter word or even just breath that affects the future. So the fact that people were removed from the timeline years before they stopped breathing means they altered the timeline.

Revisiting this review, Will missed a point in the movie where Dan and Charlie wonder between themselves why the conscripts are older people while the soldiers themselves are young. They conclude that it's to avoid any temporal paradoxes. This is coupled with the fact that Adult Muri revealed that Dan died prior to the war which is why the future soldiers confirmed his death certificate as being seven years from that point in the present when he is officially conscripted. It's not really a plot hole when thinking about the people from the present being erased from the timeline if they die in the future because the movie already showed that the conscripted civilians have already died at some time during the thirty years prior to the White Spikes launching their attack. A prime example of this is Dorian, who volunteered for his third tour, when he revealed to Dan that he has terminal cancer and would rather die fighting the White Spikes than sitting at home waiting for a slow, painful death.

This movie, although not the best, provided a breath of fresh air. My lady and I watched it and it had us in suspense each time the Whitespikes were shown. It was an awesome watch and in certain instances I almost cried. When Forrester didn't get the job and you saw him sitting with his daughter contemplating his life, that scene really resonated with me. As a man, you always want to provide wholesomely for your family.

@@votpavel As contradictory as it sounds, I agree with you. I do think its great, even though there's so much wrong with it, the science is hilariously bad and full of errors.

After lockdown, a plethora of “you need to do better” movies, and the hair-tearingly frustrating Army of the Dead, this film was exactly what I needed to pick me up and make me actually enjoy myself. I actually cared about the characters, and their sacrifices were emotionally engaging. Literally sat on the edge of my couch and leaned towards the screen watching this, and I never do that. Would I watch it again? Nah, but it accomplished everything it set out to do

This is what ‘anti wokeness ‘ does to you: it transforms you into a shell of your past self, only capable of seeing diversity quotas behind every decision. The anti woke have become as annoying and narrow minded as the woke, which is saying something.

@@Hamlet92100 it's glaringly obvious when a film is trying to lecture and make a statement about racial and sexual politics, it's obnoxious and sours otherwise good stories. Tomorrow War, Alita, and Blade Runner 2049 are praised in recent Sci fi because despite having a "diverse" cast its not a vehicle for present day social commentary. Which for the past 5 years, *not*making the minority members of your cast into empty vessels for social commentary had become a statement unto itself. It's pandering and insulting to everyone. And claiming you don't see it or don't care is smug and disingenuous

Now that you mentioned the diverse cast - yeah, you are right - I completely missed that while watching the movie. It was done so organically and felt absolutely natural - just us (humans) vs. them (aliens). I like how they portrayed the Fathers too - one was a nice dad, the other was a complete A-hole, yet both were willing to sacrifice themselves to save their children. This is what most fathers are like.

@@Hamlet92100 And wokeness turns one into a fascist racist/sexist, incapable of seeing past the surface of skin colour or sexual orientation. Look, if the ten best writers available are ten obese black lesbians, then by all means hire the ten obese black lesbians - why bring insignificant hiring 'qualities' such as sex orientation and skin colour, isn't that racist and sexist? Anyway, such diversity hiring is visible in the lower quality, self-obsessed, misandric work it produces, which is perfectly normal when hiring criterions are anything but talent. Sure, sure, we can ride along with a few of these 'statements', like benevolent parents cheering up the clumsy efforts of their kids, but don't ask us - and I am a real progressive guy - to LARP along all the way into mediocrity for racism and sexism's sake. The woke actively destroys our sociologic relations, and while I admit some go way too far, fighting this movement is the right thing to do.

The movie held my attention for the entire run time - and personally it didn't feel like two and a half hours. It was fast, tense and exciting. Yes, there were issues with the plot but I thought the character dynamic between Chris Pratt's character and Yvonne Strahovski was emotionally moving. Yvonne nailed the role and the relationship seemed real - that really sold the movie. It has been a very long since a new release movie has captured and swept a viewer like myself up that you are having too much fun to care about the plot holes. The action was fast and exciting and it's nice to see a movie focusing on entertainment and fun.
