The Tomorrow War

POSITIVES…

  • Genuinely liked the premise for a time travel plus alien invasion movie. 

  • Opening scenes introducing the plot immediately grabs your interest for the story. 

  • When they finally show you the full version of that time jump scene. I mean Holy ****! 

  • Chris Pratt is a charming, likeable guy. Wouldn't have it any other way. 

  • Sam Richardson is the comic relief guy and he plays it really well. 

  • Yvonne Strahovski. Love her in this, and her ability to show both strength and vulnerability for her character. 

  • Best things about this movie are easily the scenes between Pratt and Strahovski. Their dynamics together is so compelling.

  • Shout out to JK Simmons. Also one of the best things about this movie.

  • Alien creature design is fantastic! 

  • I appreciated the themes in this movie, especially the ones that are clearly commentary on our current real world situation and problem. Also, SCIENCE!

  • Enjoyed the welcome bits of levity. 

  • "My man over there is wearing a chef's hat."

NEGATIVES…

  • Stupid action movie cliché moments. See next negative…

  • Plot conveniences, because you know the story needs to move forward some way. 

  • Ridiculously idiotic very very familiar plot tropes that made me want to throw something at the screen. 

  • Wow, people can outrun just about anything in this movie! *rolls eyes* 

  • The third act could use some tweaking in the screen writing. Just saying.

  • No, I have to say more on that. THAT character?!!! You needed to get that important information from THAT character?!!! There was really nobody else? The internet exists too you know! I know it was telegraphed in advance, but come on now!

  • I want more future tech! Don't show me the future, and not show me some fancy cool future tech.
