Sci-Fi Chris Pratt joins The Tomorrow War

[Stringer]

Enjoyable but objectively a subpar movie.

I've never once seen a sci fi movie worth a damn that didn't require some thought. It's not a turn off your brain genre.

I think that is where the disconnect came for me. What was marketed as military science fiction turned out to be video game with unbelievable human reactions

Oh, it is. But it is worth a damn lol

Lol yes, or two.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised by this since it sounded like alot of casual people enjoyed it, but for the love of god get better writers and please give Yvonne Strahoviski and Betty Gilpin more to do in this sequel.

Pratt's character would need some serious reworking in order to make him an interesting character to follow in a sequel, which won't happen. This is the same issue with the Jurassic World franchise. Sam Richardson (coward turned hero) or Gilpin (underutilized blank slate) would be less boring at least.

I suppose its still better than Stowaway or Awake, but definitely a continuation of the "terrible sci-fi movies going to streaming rather than DTV" trend.

If I had to guess? Someone *really really* wanted to make their Vietnam movie, and just went with the cheapest laziest sci-fi justification that occurred to the writers first.

Where do they go with this? And Pratt's character is going to be EVEN MORE boring.

I just streamed this.

A really clunky story with sophomoric/on-the-nose dialogue. And given that the movie is so derivative anyway, why didn’t they steal borrow a more solid and more clever time-travel plot?

I’m kinda surprised that this earned a 52% on RT — which is an average/middling grade. I’ve seen better films (perhaps being held to a higher standard/expectation?) scored much lower.

Still… a few months back, I happened to watch a pair of Netflix movies back-to-back: Atlas (with Jennifer Lopez) and Trigger Warning (with Jessica Alba). Yikes. So to its credit, The Tomorrow War was better than those.
