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.

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.💙

The logic behind main story movements in this is completely ridiculous, though these shortcuts are designed to make the film as satisfying and entertaining as possible. If you want entertainment and feel good action, have a ride with this!
The fighting sequences are brilliant and believable. The creature design is impeccable. Aspects of these creatures and even parts of the story are derived from a number of past sci-fi classics, but I must say these are some of the most frighting creatures I've seen in a while. There was no expense spared with the creature CGI and sound design.
The wasted opportunity to have a more innovative and believable story made this a bit boring for me (apart from individual action sequences).
Worth a look if you like alien action blockbusters.

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

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.
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film was made by Paramount Pictures for a theatrical release but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Paramount sold the film to Amazon Prime Video for $200 million.
- GoofsThe following goof was marked as incorrect: "The soldiers from 2051 come from a time when 99.99% of the human population is dead and the war is nearly lost. Nevertheless, the governments from the present devote tremendous resources to sending millions of drafted civilians to 2051 to die almost certain deaths. There is no discussion of using the knowledge from the future to fight the impending war differently and prevent human extinction. Only at the end does it seem to occur to anyone to send the toxin back in time to change the future." Reason for it being incorrect was said to be: "However, it is possible to develop the toxin only with a female specimen available, i.e. in the future, and it cannot be possible to bring her back in the present for studies." Still, this does not explain why no effort was taken in 2022 to use knowledge from 2051 to alter the course of history.
