Review of The Tomorrow War (2021) by Jddallas — 05 Jul 2021

A pathetic (and unintentional) JOKE of a movie. What makes it worse is that it has all the ingredients (A-list actor..top notch SPFX..obviously a BIG budget) to make it GREAT but is lacking the EASIEST and CHEAPEST BUT MOST IMPORTANT element of any movie: GOOD WRITING/STORYLINE/PLOT!

WHATEVER you wanna call it this movie has virtually NONE of it. I usually give sci-fi/fantasy and big pass when it comes to "checking your mind at the door" and the concept of "suspension of disbelief". INDEPENDENCE DAY comes to mind in that it never took itself too seriously (Randy Quaid played as "Cousin Eddie got abducted" helped a lot in that regard..Genius! BTW) so I could give a lot of latitude to it (hacking into an alien computer to download a virus? what? where they using Windows98 or something?).

This? Tomorrow War..Jeez what a trainwreck! All I can say is thank god I can cancel my Amazon account in 30 days..so I basically got to see this for free..but what a disappointment. Much like Wonder Woman 1984 was used to get people to sign up for HBOMax..this is the same hustle. That was a bad film..and so is this..If Hollywood stars are considered BANKABLE cuz they've done so many entertaining movies (I'm thinking of Harrison Ford or Eddie Murphy back in the 80s and 90s) that audiences basically say Oh, Chris Pratt is in this movie..he was in Guardians and Avengers and Jurassic Park..I bet this has to be good.
