The Tomorrow War, starring Chris Pratt and JK Simmons, is a dumb, obvious, cliched sci-fi action movie. It's also surprisingly fun. Join me as I find out why.

I felt the same way. Please review a show you’re already seen, Farscape with the amazing Claudia Black. It was a small budget weird but unique gem of an Aussie production.
Hey Critical i thought that the reason he becomes estranged from his family is because he goes into the future, comes back all fked up and then ends up like his father and ends up dying alone which fucks up his daughter? If this isnt what was portrayed then i guess i just made it up as I was watching and dont tell me any different because my reality though wrong is better. and with the time thing they conscript anyone who is already dead so they cant lose anyone alive in the future... isnt that the same reason they send back young people who have no way of meeting themselves? again if wrong dont tell me any different because of above reasons
I will take, hand down "Stupid fun moive" anytime Then so call "Oscar contender movie" nowadays. I same goes with Godzilla vs. King Kong movie gave me the same feels too.
It's interesting how these types of movies are making a comeback. People are willing to overlook the flaws just to have some fun action with awesome CGI and minimum politics. Take a hint, Hollywood.
I liked it cause its one of the few movies in a while that doesn't completely shit on fathers. Even his Dad with Vietnam era PTSD finds a way home in the end.
I mean, we have Harrison Ford. And many other films that depict that very same thing. I wouldn't really call it "refreshing". It's pretty formulaic. But it is nice to see.
Didn't we had the movie "Nobody" with a similar premise to this? This type of premise isn't really "refreshing", unless you don't watch that many movies/tv shows.
Look, I'm gonna be honest. Watching a movie hero literally fistfight an alien to fucking death is exactly what I want to see in a movie. 10/10 would watch again.
@Thom Hagan the daughter was only a major and was in a scientific role which is very different from a major who is commanding combat units. I don't remember if we ever find out the rank of the one who time travels in the beginning but she was mostly just a liaison between the actual military leadership in the future and contemporary governments and militaries. my point here is that neither one of those characters were really in any sort of significant military leadership role one of my issues with the movie was that we never got to see something like a future high command meeting, it would have been nice to have a 5 or 10 minute scene where combat commanders are planning the last stand, perhaps they could have used that opportunity to squeeze in an explanation for the time machine managing to survive long enough

This was a refreshing way to show why diversity is good. Its not just to make everyone feel good about themselves, it is also better to live in a society’s that encourages everyone to be different because we never know what might matter in the future.
I was reading interviews with the director and Pratt and they would like to make more movies looking into the whitespikes and have more world building for the alien race.
sounds liek the begining of a fan-loved and frikin fun universe, hollywood can keep all their woke-shit movies so long as we have ppl making movies like this one imo!
Best line I’ve heard on RU-vid in a long time: "seems totally obvious to anyone who doesn’t need help dressing themselves in the morning ". Bravo, Drinker
It was fun, for sure. I think they missed the boat not having more J.K. Simmons, especially interacting with Chris Pratt. Their scenes were some of the best in the movie.
I got the feeling there may have been more scenes but they got cut. Their interaction during the last combat scenes seemed more than a little bit too familiar for the prolonged estrangement the movie previously showed between them.
@@curtisnucmed On a J.K. note, if you haven't seen it, watch his SF series, Counterpart, available on Prime. Only 2 seasons (and canceled during its original TV run to make way for women oriented programs) but he's amazing in it.

@@alqaeda7040 at the beginning it shouldn't have even been released in cinemas as originally it only would release on amazon but I think after airing on amazon they decided to also release it in cinema. And on amazon it was the most viewed movie for I think a couple of days to a week which is why sequel is coming
One thing I loved was the desperation of the future soldiers in every scene they were in like the queen extraction every soldier was immediate in their response and throwing themselves at the drones even if it only meant seconds of time or the heli pilot immediately swerving to intercept the flying drones it really felt like humanity's last stand
But that made it more stupid. The lack of proper decision making or planning of any form. The willingness to throw away non replaceable resources and screw themselves even more. Also there is no way that the creatures can apparently teleport because there is no way they could have arrived there in time if they had to travel on foot. And if they had effective tranquilizers they could have just used though from the start. Furthermore they didn't need the live queen. They could have just blown her up and collected her remains. Every scene was stupid beyond belief.
Disagree. From the moment Black Widow was introduced in Iron Man 2, I thought Yvonne should have been cast for the role. She's Polish Australian, so she can pull off a convincing Eastern European accent by virtue of the fact she can speak Polish fluently (even if Russian and Polish are two different languages), and she can emote a thousand times better than SJ.
@@SP-pn7xx Daim, now when you said it, I'm actually wondering whether they didnt do a motion capture of Miranda based on her. The resemblence is striking! ^^' (bar the hair)
It is, but at the same time, it is just a dumb fun movie that knows it's a dumb fun movie. This is what movies should be, plain entertainment. You can have deep meaningfull mesages in movies sure, but normally they are the wrong type that makes normal people want to vomit what they ate 4 months ago

@@MachoMan_Vert The most "woke" F&F was the latest movie where Nikki Minaj was running an all girl SWAT team. This actually wasn't even woke, it's was just normal F&F brand of hilarious, because NM doesn't look like the type to run one.

@@cannedbollocks He's polite about it not disrespectful. During his award acceptance speech he even praised Jesus, asked kids to stop fooling around, to work harder, to pray and believe etc etc. He at the end of the day just seems like a genuine good guy and a hard working man. He hasn't been cancelled yet because he isn't political nor has he ever tried to be disrespectful in trying to be funny. He's just living his life peacefully away from all the toxicity.
Dude I loved this movie. You are right on the money about the family dynamic and the bravery and protecting role of the father. Great stuff. I really miss aspirational male leads nowadays.
What I watched this movie and it got to the part when they were having a football World cup party my first thought was that I have never heard of such a thing in the United States. I've been to plenty of super bowl parties, but the number of people I have known IRL who are into soccer could be counted on one hand
The only thing I disagree with is about Dan and his struggles from a normal life. I feel exactly like he does, and I connected to his entire story . You wouldn’t think I was an unhappy man but we never know what’s in someone’s head
@@thefitnerd5116 I'll give a compliment to the first movie that actively goes out of its way not to be nominated. I watched Dr No the other day, the credits were 20 seconds long, I miss that. No disrespect to the crew, who I know care more about being paid than being listed. Do many people I know have worked on xyz and been uncredited and could not care less.
Honestly I would Rather Have A Dumb Movie Than a Woke one, because at least it doesn’t lecture you and Let’s you enjoy something that doesn’t feel like Pushing Agendas for the sake of Agendas
Coulda sworn there is a very distinct climate change message in there though, like please don't f up the planet for future generations, work together to find a solution now, yada yada yada?
The Tomorrow War reminded me of the old 90s action movies like Armageddon and Independence Day. Just a big summer blockbuster with some fun action and humor. Wish we had more of these tbh
I feel the same way as you about the movie, but I have to say that the staircase scene where we first encounter the White Spikes was one of the best creature introduction scenes I think I have ever watched. That scene in particular had excellent pacing, and actually unnerved me, which almost no other movie has, even horror ones.
I like the fact that you're honestly brutal in your review. Shows consistency. I hope that more films have the guts to be fun. Also Yvonne Strahovski is Miranda in Mass Effect 2 and 3.
@@kennethprice8710 I call this movie "a glorified B movie" because of them... and I say this not as an insult because B movies are generally cult movies...
The future also uses short barrels(less velocity) for bullet resistant aliens. For a hilarious take on the weapons used check out Brandon Herrera’s breakdown. I think he’s also the pinned comment in this comment section Edit: not the pinned comment, just the first one listed when I clicked on the video
To be fair, there were a couple occasions when they went to their sidearms, presumably because their rifle was empty. But yeah, how hard would it have been to throw in a mag change here or there?
after 10 years of avoiding hollywood movies i watched this edge of tommorow and love and monsters.. and strangly i liked them.. all of them a bit dumb but great.. just like hollywood from the past.. you sit and you enjoy.. no need fo all that brain activity.. i also love that Yvone or how ever she is called.. a very good actress besides her good looks
I'd disagree with Drinker in that this movie does have a message, it's that we need more scientists and doctors and engineers. From Chris Pratt's daughter being an MIT grad, to the volcano boy, to Sam Richardson's character, the message I saw being pushed was that we should strive for more of those intellectual roles. However, it's never lecturing, nor does it go the normal Hollywood route of downplaying the military, it doesn't talk down to anyone. It also acknowledged PTSD (again, without being overbearing). It was a fun little scifi flick
yea. there were messages here, they just didnt beat you over the head with them, and they never really detracted from the movie. I really liked this movie for just being what it was...an entertaining sci fi action flick that never took itself too seriously.
@@taliefer16 I thought it had a very strong message of family being what matters, with both the father-daughter and son-father relationship, with a straight white man being in the middle of both. Compared to most films to come out of Hollywood, I'd say that's a better message than you'd usually find.
To the movie's credit, it had one of the best alien introductions that I've ever seen. The clicking, the shapes moving around in the darkness, the scientists impaled on spikes. Even the reveal was creepy and terrifying. Perfectly set the tone of horror that it was going for. It's a shame that was the best part of the movie.
What I didn't like was earlier the monster could turn over a jeep but couldn't kill two men earlier. If they were consistent, maybe it could have been slightly better but nonetheless I liked it
I was really hoping they'd do more with that 'clicking' the black guy talked about in therapy. It could have been central to the tale, really adding some gravitas, fear, horror, worry, etc. Sadly, they dropped it like a hot rock because roars were "mo betta", I guess.
You missed the actually really creative way they get around the Grandfather paradox in this movie - they use future knowledge to gather a database of eligible recruits in the future, the main criteria being the recruits have to have died by the time the invasion started. I'm assuming they also check to make sure the recruit isn't going to cure cancer or do something equally noteworthy in the few years between 2022 and their death
one thing they didn't touch on was how when the link was destroyed it left behind the people from the future who hadn't been born, but since the link was destroyed they wouldn't be able to go back to the future before they were born in the past, so essentially there is going to be a paradox soon after the time where the movie ended.
But that DOES NOT AVOID THE PARADOX. The very fact they reached backwards in time creates the paradox because in the original timeline no one reached backwards in time. AND that does not mean those people would not have given birth between point A and point B. FURTHERMORE you are forgetting the Butterfly Effect. You don't have to be alive to change the timeline. If you utter word or even just breath that affects the future. So the fact that people were removed from the timeline years before they stopped breathing means they altered the timeline.
This film, reminds me a lot of Battle: Los Angeles. Think too long about it and you realize that it's objectively terrible, but take it a face value, and you will be entertained. That's all we want- entertainment, is that so hard? This movie deserves to be successful, if only to show Hollywoke that the money is there to be made, if they could only pull their heads out of their asses.
Battle: Los Angeles was really underrated. It actually seems like they consulted the Marine Corps and rest of the military when making the film. It was pretty tactically sound for a conventional modern Marine squad/team/platoon compared to most films.
As a dad this makes me smile as frankly dad's don't get anywhere near the same respect of the mum. I was stopped from seeing my daughter due to the mother and not any problems. Alot of single dads killed themselves are getting treated like garbage by the system and mothers. I nearly did too for 2 years I wanted to get hit by a bus .
@@dr69_420 what's sad is that not a lot know about it and cares. My boyfriend (an American) told me that his grandfather and uncle killed themselves because of their cheating wives. And he also got cheated on by a girlfriend of 1 year (now ex), who had the audacity to say that she's pregnant with his child when he wasn't. He was scared of getting into relationships again until he met a crazy Asian girl (me). He says he's not ever talking to an American woman again lol.
"Is this what movies used to be like?" That was exactly my thoughts coming away from this movie. I didn't realize how on edge I usually am in preparation for some dumbass lecture until I caught myself actually having fun.
If you ignore all the logic holes and lack of intelligence, it was a fine movie for an Amazon release. If I went to the theatre and paid full price I would had some bad things to say, but from a streaming service? It clicked enough boxes for me to find it enjoyable to watch on a weekend.
@@chalion8399 Indeed. Like the drinker said, you can have a field day picking this movie apart. But in this landscape of wokeism, this was one of the best movie I've watched in years. This and "The Father".
@justsomeguyhere jesus there are so many snobs like you , lot of yall must be so bitter and sad if you won't TRY to enjoy a dumb movie , you just sound pretentious when all you do is critique like people care about your opinion , nothing wrong with saying a movie is bad when it clearly is but don't try to make people dislike it if they don't
@@exilemorin04 Or maybe instead of watching dumb movies I'll only watch good ones because I don't have a thousand years to rot away watching low quality shit?
One other positive of this movie that you didn't mention is the alien design -I think the VFX artists and the design team came up with a really neat looking alien 👌. If the aliens had looked dumb or boring, that also could have easily totally sunk the whole film.
We should make it an international men's day thing. Have as many men as possible tune into it, or go to theatres with their son's to watch it on 19th November. It might annoy a few people, but I'm certain we can roar louder than they squeak, if it comes to that.
You know how horrible it is to find really good father and daughter movies that are recent. It's sad to tell my daughter that there's not that many when she wants to watch a movie with her favorite person, her father. I mostly have to look for the movies in the past. Glad this movie came out.
Black widow movie is so bad, they try to mimic action scene from winter soldier but it not even close, i bet 100% people watch it just because they love natasha
It really isn't any better at all. Same mindless, pointless action movie. Must be that anti Disney agenda clowding your judgment. Disney dumb movie bad! Other company dumb movie good!
@@fullmetalb5241 but black widow tries to be more than it is and tries to be serious but fails and ends up as a dumb action movie anyway, the tomorrow war knows its dumb and acts like it
I just like how with this setup, we can just completely side-step my common minor pet peeve of "somehow we won against a race who's supposed to be way smarter and more technologically capable, and there isn't a truly satisfying and believable reason why."
Actually this film is metaphorical in itself. The time travel, the aliens, etc... are just the plot device to move the main theme and point, it is a story about regret, 2nd chance, redemption, and family.
I think the white spikes were the best part of the movie, the way they moved and attacked was absolutely spectacular. I enjoyed watching them despite the horrific ways they killed
He’s charismatic, has moral standards and a straight up guy. Hollywood are repulsed by this kind of star when it’s very existence is owed to them by actors like Chris Pratt. This was one of the only recent releases I’ve watched all the way through. No preaching, virtue signalling or self flagelation. Great stuff👍
If this movie had ended when the protagonist had come back and seen his daughter at the 1 hour and 30 mark I would have rated it higher because the movie felt it had reached it's climax.
The movie may not make any sense at all, but it does prove that putting Chris Pratt into anything will make people want to see it. Hell it’s even getting a sequel.
@@RogueFox2185 Feels weird considering this movie felt like it could have been split easily into two or three films and been the better for it. Still was entertained enough for it though.
Drinker, you absolutely HAVE to do Netflix’s new “Masters of the Universe.” Hint: there’s a reason why it’s not called “He-man and the Masters of the Universe.”
The tomorrow War is a brain-melt movie. You can put it on, look at the big explosions and flashy lights and still get the jist if the plot and enjoy it. I like it
Revisiting this review, Will missed a point in the movie where Dan and Charlie wonder between themselves why the conscripts are older people while the soldiers themselves are young. They conclude that it's to avoid any temporal paradoxes. This is coupled with the fact that Adult Muri revealed that Dan died prior to the war which is why the future soldiers confirmed his death certificate as being seven years from that point in the present when he is officially conscripted. It's not really a plot hole when thinking about the people from the present being erased from the timeline if they die in the future because the movie already showed that the conscripted civilians have already died at some time during the thirty years prior to the White Spikes launching their attack. A prime example of this is Dorian, who volunteered for his third tour, when he revealed to Dan that he has terminal cancer and would rather die fighting the White Spikes than sitting at home waiting for a slow, painful death.
The 3 best bits for me were a) the complex but positive portrayal of fatherhood(as you already pointed out), b) the daughter having an interest in science and her parents encouraging it. My own daughter is very similar, so that's more of a personal connection and c) the scene where the two civilians, with no training or prior experience, volunteer to hang back and hold the line to try and give the rest of the team a chance to escape. This kind of everyman heroism is what the cultural and political elite sneer at nowadays and we desperately need more stories that feature it.
C: Really struck me immidiately. Part of it was they were the spotters teamed together. When one went down the other wouldn't leave his side and they held off the enemy as long as they could. Life and death situation can form bonds quickly. That and a certain amount of human decency.,
I get what you're saying about Chris's character but I'm glad there's a movie about a service member/first responder/ect (hell even a normal dad), that isn't a divorced, depressed, failure of a parent like so many movies nowadays.
This is what irked me about early reviews I read of the film. Chris’s character walked out of the family, and that’s not hinted at with the guy we see. If he was portrayed as a douche bag who’s then redeemed, then ok, that’s a story arc…and probably not one Chris Pratt wants to play.
I actually ended up really enjoying this movie, I’d say the first half of it was OK at best but I think as it went on the back half of the movie itself could’ve just been a standalone great movie. And as usual Chris Pratt was phenomenal!
Yep. You nailed it. An imperfect action sci fi movie without a heavy handed message, a happy ending and a decent cast. No wonder I liked it. Hello Hollywood?
This is what ‘anti wokeness ‘ does to you: it transforms you into a shell of your past self, only capable of seeing diversity quotas behind every decision. The anti woke have become as annoying and narrow minded as the woke, which is saying something.
@@Hamlet92100 it's glaringly obvious when a film is trying to lecture and make a statement about racial and sexual politics, it's obnoxious and sours otherwise good stories. Tomorrow War, Alita, and Blade Runner 2049 are praised in recent Sci fi because despite having a "diverse" cast its not a vehicle for present day social commentary. Which for the past 5 years, *not*making the minority members of your cast into empty vessels for social commentary had become a statement unto itself. It's pandering and insulting to everyone. And claiming you don't see it or don't care is smug and disingenuous
Now that you mentioned the diverse cast - yeah, you are right - I completely missed that while watching the movie. It was done so organically and felt absolutely natural - just us (humans) vs. them (aliens). I like how they portrayed the Fathers too - one was a nice dad, the other was a complete A-hole, yet both were willing to sacrifice themselves to save their children. This is what most fathers are like.
@@Hamlet92100 And wokeness turns one into a fascist racist/sexist, incapable of seeing past the surface of skin colour or sexual orientation. Look, if the ten best writers available are ten obese black lesbians, then by all means hire the ten obese black lesbians - why bring insignificant hiring 'qualities' such as sex orientation and skin colour, isn't that racist and sexist? Anyway, such diversity hiring is visible in the lower quality, self-obsessed, misandric work it produces, which is perfectly normal when hiring criterions are anything but talent. Sure, sure, we can ride along with a few of these 'statements', like benevolent parents cheering up the clumsy efforts of their kids, but don't ask us - and I am a real progressive guy - to LARP along all the way into mediocrity for racism and sexism's sake. The woke actively destroys our sociologic relations, and while I admit some go way too far, fighting this movement is the right thing to do.
This movie, although not the best, provided a breath of fresh air. My lady and I watched it and it had us in suspense each time the Whitespikes were shown. It was an awesome watch and in certain instances I almost cried. When Forrester didn't get the job and you saw him sitting with his daughter contemplating his life, that scene really resonated with me. As a man, you always want to provide wholesomely for your family.
I think like Chris Pratt had essentially said, it was all to return to a sense of normalcy, to be able to make a movie anyone could enjoy without having to worry about this or that. And all and all I think they succeeded. I said myself when I first saw the trailer that the movie looked cheesy as fuck but hey it managed to essentially do what it was meant to be, just a fun normal stupid action flick that helped to return us to that normal feeling, like there was an actual action movie that we could watch and just enjoy and ignore anything too negative or too positive.
You can always tell if an actor has used (or been taught hiw to use) a gun by looking at their trigger arm, if its sticking out to the side, you know they've never been taught how, if its tucked in for stability, bingo. Chris Pratt knows how, that always helps my immersion
The movie had the same problem that all modern action and sci-fi movies have - it felt like a video game. Apart from that, it was a breath of fresh air because of the lack of identity politics and feminism being shoved down the viewer's throat.
@@ronniejones1425 The thing is, shockingly, they didn't politicize it and preach down to everyone for a change. It was just there, for the viewer to interpret as they saw fit, without any sermons.
@Z. Michael Gehlke And they're correct. It is a low standard, just as the fact that it's a poorly made movie is a pretty low standard, as pointed out by The Drinker. I'm not saying it was good that they used the tactic. I'm saying that, in our current shitty cinematic climate, even a small improvement is just that - an improvement.
The movie held my attention for the entire run time - and personally it didn't feel like two and a half hours. It was fast, tense and exciting. Yes, there were issues with the plot but I thought the character dynamic between Chris Pratt's character and Yvonne Strahovski was emotionally moving. Yvonne nailed the role and the relationship seemed real - that really sold the movie. It has been a very long since a new release movie has captured and swept a viewer like myself up that you are having too much fun to care about the plot holes. The action was fast and exciting and it's nice to see a movie focusing on entertainment and fun.
It's rare enough to get positive fatherhood models in action films these days, not just men in "paternity-adjacent" capacities but men being dads and wanting to actively be good dads at that. Coupled with the fun action scenes and the incredible creature design, I really liked TTW
positive? he risked everything to save his daughter that didnt matter nor exist if he saved the past... and he risked everyone in the past..... unsubbing from frinker, u all r idiots
I personally liked how they kind of "solved" possible time paradoxes. The soldiers of the past are trained by young future troopers, who haven't been born yet, they make sure that the civilians they conscript are dead in the future they'll travel to and they explain that you can only travel through the 2 "portals" they've created in the flow of time.
Consider that there are 3 timelines we know of. One, which we will call Toxin, where the Toxin is successfully recreated and used to successfully kill the Whitespikes. The second, which our Dan (universe 1) is sent to, where the Jumplink is destroyed but Muri and Dan create the toxin successfully. And a third, hypothetical universe where they fail to create a toxin, causing Dan (originally from universe 2) to return to the second universe thinking Muri (universe 3) died for nothing, thereby estranging her and giving her the impetus to succeed in her own timeline. See where I'm going with this?
@@aspenmgy Yes, that seems like a pretty big hole in the plot. Again, the weak writing to the rescue. They have lousy records in the future, and can't bring back just anyone in case they're among the few still alive? So they have to pick only those for whom records exist, which isn't many.
But why do they send in random people with no training, at least give everyone they believe to be dead in the future some training… it’s like sending a person who’s only ever played football once, and then make him/her play in the Super Bowl 🤷🏼♂️
Pratt's main arc is realizing anyone (even himself) can be fallible and thus forgiving his father, and realigning his own priorities. If he was having trouble to begin with that would just make his initial rejection of his father hypocritical.
I liked this movie. The time travel plot issues are awful but the father, son, and daughter redemption arc hit me right in the feels. Unlike most of the other fast and the furious movies it's the first movie I've seen in a while where family MEANS something and bad fathers can find a way home.
There were a ton of shots fired off in this movie from the veteran gratitude to a father being a main part of the family and bread winner, I loved how they slid in these things or maybe I'm just looking too deep into it to find things to diss hollywoke with
The thing that surprised me was how not terrible in the time travel aspect was. They set up the rules and then didn't controdic them. The rest of it was okay and entertaining. Not great, but actually fun and given the fact it wasn't preachy or demeaning... it was a good movie. Not great but good
They needed to do more with the time travel thing.. there was an awesome plot twist they didn't do.. the fact him going sour in the past was a bluff, that he planed a new portal, and he killed himself before he opened it to allow her to be able to travel back with him to be able to save her.. that sort of thing.. (That's badly explained but you get it)
My only problem with the time travel is how did the troops that initially arrived to the past stay there and weren't locked with arm bands for a week limit
Except the part when they changed the past, they would have never sent the people in the future to change the past in the first place. They would never be able to change the past, since they only created the wormhole to prevent the need to make the wormhole in the first place. (Like the movie the time machine, he made the machine to go back to save his girlfriend.. but she always dies no matter what. Because if she lives, he would never have the need to make the machine in the first place, so she has to always die) then again maybe there will be a tomorrow war part 2, and nothing changed in the future (maybe them waking the whites and killing them, ended up starting a slow thawing of other ships they didn't know about)
6:27 I will admit, when I watched the movie, and I saw that these mufukas could GLIDE (Gargoyles cartoon reference) I was like “ah nah, hell naw, we all gon die yo.” 😂
