Studio Synopsis:
In The Tomorrow War, the world is stunned when a group of time travelers arrive from the year 2051 to deliver an urgent message: Thirty years in the future mankind is losing a global war against a deadly alien species. The only hope for survival is for soldiers and civilians from the present to be transported to the future and join the fight. Among those recruited is high school teacher and family man Dan Forester (Chris Pratt). Determined to save the world for his young daughter, Dan teams up with a brilliant scientist (Yvonne Strahovski) and his estranged father (J.K. Simmons) in a desperate quest to rewrite the fate of the planet.
J.P.’s Quick Bites Review:
The type of popcorn human vs alien blowout made for the big screen …. done for squeaks and giggles.
In Amazon’s “The Tomorrow War,” the value of the human spirit is at the heart of the story in the general sense. A hodge podge of alien movies rolled into one, leaving no viewer out of range. However, at times you are unable to make heads or tails of the plot and premise. You’re also left in the dark as to how things work, the actions that are taken or sometimes why. Basically, you’re dropped head first into action and it’s all go from there.
If you have a big screen TV … just kick have a laugh and simply enjoy. But don’t expect this to be “Independence Day” or “Edge of Tomorrow” or other sci-fi films involving aliens and temporal shifts. This is more like another chapter of the video game turned film series “Doom.”
You can catch this sci-fi/action flick on Amazon Prime now.
