Review of The Tomorrow War (2021) by Mnelson7047 — 03 Jul 2021

I actually created an account just to write this review; the people giving this movie 5+ I assume were not watching the same movie I was. I had so much hope and anticipation that this movie was going to be at least "decent" given the solid marketing budget displayed.

From the onset, the movie offers a promising narrative that by the 20-minute mark has caught fire and began a terminal free-fall towards the ground. I won't rehash what others have echoed as to the gaping plot-holes and the like; I will add though that Amazon missed an opportunity here.

The director/producers it seems tried to meld together Frequency (2000) with the plotline of The Day After Tomorrow (2004) and a shade of Starship Troopers (1997) all the while detracting from what made those movies likable.

If the plotholes had been somewhat addressed maybe...maybe the movie could have been better. It seems that the writers sat down and said how do we achieve every movie trope we can in one sitting. Beyond a few comedic quips by ancillary characters, the movie is devoid of relief from what is otherwise a predictable plotline.
