    Summary

    Reviewers say 'The Tomorrow War' is an entertaining sci-fi action film with impressive CGI and strong performances, especially from Chris Pratt and JK Simmons. However, critics note plot holes, clichés, and a lack of originality. Described as a fun, popcorn-style movie, it has flaws like sentimentality, predictable twists, and a lengthy runtime. Despite mixed opinions, it serves as a decent summer blockbuster for escapist entertainment.

    Better Than Expected

    Based on the trailer and fairly uninspired title I half expected another movie that spent all its budget on actors and cranked out another poorly produced pandemic stop-gap. What we got instead was a pretty well-made action flick with heart and self-aware humor. The story is rather formulaic but it was thoroughly entertaining.

    Sit Back & Relax, your weekend popcorn entertainer is here!!

    Nothing fancy here, no wow factors, no unexpected scenes, infact we have seen this all many times in many movies but you know what, its still managed to keep my interest for over 2 hours.

    So get some popcorn, get your gang together, sit back and relax on your couch and enjoy some brainless action because we all need some entertainment in these times.

    Much Love to you people.💙

    Entertaining. That's all I needed.

    I like the actors, aliens, CGI, music, and action. Also, I am glad there were no social issues forced into the movie. Every time I try to watch some series Holyweirdos put some agenda in it. Even with plot holes this movie is entertaning.

    Good old fashioned fast-paced man vs alien fun...

    Now, as I sat down to watch the 2021 action sci-fi movie "The Tomorrow War", I was told not to expect too much from the movie, and that it was a watchable but shallow movie experience.

    Needless to say that I watched the movie anyway, as it was a movie that I hadn't already seen. Actually I hadn't even seen the trailer for the movie, so I virtually knew nothing about the movie or what it was about, aside from it having Chris Pratt on the cast list.

    And I must say, now that I have seen it, that writer Zach Dean and director Chris McKay actually managed to churn out something that was very enjoyable and entertaining for me. And it was the type of movie that fell right into my preference of movies.

    The storyline told in "The Tomorrow War" has an interesting concept idea. Sure, this is not rocket science, nor something that requires a whole lot of thinking on the audience part, but it is the type of movie where you lean back well into the chair, munch on the popcorn and enjoy the action and fighting on the screen. So essentially, this is some good old fun.

    Actually, while the storyline is sort of simplistic, I must admit that I actually found it to be entertaining enough. There are some good aspects to the storyline and it definitely makes for adequate entertaining.

    As for the acting in the movie, well I was entertained. And I will say that they definitely had a good ensemble of actors and actresses on the cast list. Chris Pratt was nicely cast for the lead role and it was nice to see him in a movie such as this. And I was thrilled to see J. K. Simmons in the movie, just a shame he wasn't given more screen time, because he had a great character in the movie and he was just bringing the character to life so marvelously. Edwin Hodge and Jasmine Mathew were also very nicely cast for this movie.

    "The Tomorrow War" is packed with amazing visuals, and that really brought the movie to life so well on the screen. And yeah, I must admit that I was really enjoying what I saw on the screen, because the CGI team behind this movie were just spectacular. So when you sit down to watch "The Tomorrow War" you will be in for some amazing special effects. And needless to say that the creature design was also something I really enjoyed.

    As a movie viewer not overly keen on sci-fi movies, I will say that "The Tomorrow War" is one of those action sci-fi movies that proves to be incredibly enjoyable, much akin to movies such as "Starship Troopers" or "District 9".

    I went in with little expectations from what I was told, but I went out with a sense of properly being entertained for more than two hours.

    My rating of "The Tomorrow War" lands on a seven out of ten stars.

    No money left to hire a writer.

    Looks good, shame about the rampant stupidity. There are excellent science fiction writers out there but somehow they never get hired for these movies.

    • Trivia
      Chris Pratt said the shooting location for the winter scenes in Russia was on a glacier in Iceland that had never been filmed on before. He added that a few weeks prior to shooting, a couple bodies had been discovered down a fissure. They appeared to be preserved from about 1940. According to Icelandic reporter Ingunn Lára Kristjánsdóttir, there is no evidence that a couple was found on the glacier Skálafellsjökull, where Pratt was filming. In her reporting, she spoke with the chief of police in the South of Iceland and a police officer in the town of Höfn, where the crew stayed during filming. Both denied any knowledge with Pratt's version of events.
    • Goofs
      Considering how high and fast the troops fall, well in excess of the ten feet they were told, once they hit the swimming pool, they would be dead, as hitting the still water of the pool would be like impact with solid ground. Impact with the solid floor of the pool would also be fatal. They would, at the very least, show some sign of injury, instead of just walking away.
