Review of The Tomorrow War (2021) by Wasabiwizard — 03 Jul 2021

So the movie is quite good. There are a few flaws but that's to be expected when messing with time travel.

The whole concept of sending regular people to the future is explained simply in the people they're sending I.e those who wouldn't be alive at the time of the war. That's troops who otherwise wouldn't be helpful in the future.

The complaints about weaponry not being technologically advanced is easily explained too. They say the teleporter is held together with chewing gum and chicken wire. That's because they don't have resources. With the whitespikes wiping out humanity so fast, all economy and technology would be unavailable (who wants to farm resources mid alien invasion) so they pooled their last resources to create the teleporter. The ideas of tanks and jets are also good, if you don't take into account that they were used (jets anyway) and seemingly sparingly, almost like they don't have the resources. Couple that with the accelerated breeding of the whitespikes, humanity is pretty outnumbered.

The ending however is a brutal paradox that ruined the movie in my eyes. How can they go to the future to learn of the whitespikes and find the toxin to kill them, if that future never existed.
