The Tomorrow War

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.💙

A hundred reviews here will tell you the story isn't logical. It's formulaic, it's predictable, and it has holes. I admit, I don't always watch movies for fine storytelling. If a quality story is your overriding interest, you should look elsewhere, because The Tomorrow War doesn't really have one.

What it does have is time travel paradox, awesome action, great special effects, cool stunts, killer cinematography, an everyman hero, and the most creative monsters I've seen in a while. It even takes a stab at character development, and deals with father-daughter and father-son relationships in a way a lot of people can probably relate to.

I think truly entertaining movies are pretty few and far between, so I was pleased to see this. In fact, my whole family really liked it, and it's not easy for us to find something we're all interested in. Watch it if you want to have fun.

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

Time travel movies are fun, aliens are fun and Chris Pratt is fun to watch.

But, there's a limit to stupidity. You can't leave a 2-hour-something film with these huge plot holes and these silly moments of dialogue unchecked.

Why do the studios approach their audience in that un-intelligent way? I find it unfair and as a viewer, I believe we deserve more.

It's actually a pity because they took so much time to build up the characters, explain the story, the enemy and the time travel properties in the first 30-45min, but then...what happened? HUGE plot holes and a couple of odd dialogue moments which literally make no sense. Don't want to spoil it; you will know when see these.

Some good points: CGI is good and the aliens seem bad enough. Score is also alright and helps the pace of the film.

And in fact, there are some impressive moments in the film, e.g the landing to the future...but once you finish watching this film you will understand the silliness of the story.

Regardless, I can recommend it for a lazy Sunday but don't expect something special. Just switch off and enjoy.

6/10 the story could have been better.

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.
