Review of The Tomorrow War (2021) by Majorjohnusa — 02 Jul 2021

This is a gigantic abomination of foolish plot, bad screen writing, poor character development, lazy acting, uninspiring action scenes, and a thousand middle fingers to logic and physics.

I don't know where to start, below are just the tip of the iceberg:

1. Giving automatic weapons to a bunch of untrained frightened civilians then sending them to an unknown (to them) battlefield facing enemy that wiped out future professional military forces. What a brilliant idea! I am sure they know how to aim and shoot within days of training.

2. Releasing the safety on guns before the jump. Super! I am sure none of them will accidentally pull the trigger and shoot guys in the front since none of them are nervous or physically uncomfortable during the jump.

3. Falling from the sky into a swimming pool on top of a building will definitely save your life. At the beginning of the movie, Dan fell about 10-12 secs before reaching the pool, that's about 500-700 meters of free fall. They just fell about 500 -700 meters into a pool of water about 1-2 meters deep at the speed of around 90/s, no big deal!

4. Someone fell on top of him too, piece of cake!

5. And someone else fell on the ground instead of the pool, looks painful but certainly not dead, because they were still talking.

6. We finally see the monsters. These things shoot spikes from their tails and cannot fly, but they wiped out the human race who has tanks and fighter jets. Sure, why not? Human suck.

7. And these monsters run super slow, couldn't even catch up with the fat dude.

8. Where did those Humvees come from? Never mind, forget it.

9. Monsters like to stop and roar when they almost catch up with people.

10. In the future, ampoules in the bio labs are made with bullet-proof glasses because you never know when there will be a danger-close explosion around.

11. If you want Dan to stay in the helo, why bringing him along at the first place?

12. These monsters can be killed by .50 cal or get ran over by a Humvee but they wiped human from the earth, because human suck.

13. The queen understood that human found the effective toxin so she called for help, or she happened to wake up and called for help. Either way, good timing.

14. I understand you need to bring the toxin back to the past so you don't want to use it on the queen in present. But couldn't you just kill the queen with, you know, a grenade, or a bazooka, or a flamethrower, or .50 cal or whatever. For a lab to hold this very dangerous creature, you really don't have a contingency plan.

15. They kept saying these creatures are smart. If these monsters know how to use the time travel device, or at least destroy it to prevent Dan from jumping back, I will give this movie a 5-star.

16. Now I look back to all missions in the future: retrieving things/people from the lab, capturing the queen, making the toxin, sending it back to the past, -- none of these missions really need people from the past, or Dan. Couldn't the future people just do all these then travel back to the past to deliver the toxin?

17. That glass veil Dan was holding survived all the explosions, jump and fall.

18. Wife figured out what the entire future generation of scientists couldn't -- monsters didn't land in 2048, they were already here.

19. Red shirt dude has a claw of the FIRST monster ever killed. So the future human never killed a monster until they recruited some badass civilians from the past? Yep, future human suck and deserve extinction.

20. They analyzed the claw of the first monster ever kill and made a plot-twisting finding. I guess the future human never thought of analyzing the monster bodies.

21. If you have some volcano questions, go ask a school kid. Definitely not some college professors or scientist or researchers. I guess they were all drafted and died in the future.

22. The whole world united together and sent their military to the future to fight a war and save humanity. But they couldn't convince Russia to at least take a look at one of their own glaciers.

23. Even if that big-ass C130 can make it to Russia undetected, how did they land?

24. A few C-4 made such a huge explosion and flames indicating that those space-traveling aliens were still using fossil fuel.

25. Every second of the final fight.

There are so many more...
