Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5269042, member: 44"] [B]Tomorrow War[/B] (2021) This was kind of a tough movie to write up. It wasn't bad, definitely watchable. On the other hand, it really wasn't particularly memorable either. The two biggest stars in it are Chris Platt and a thoroughly under used J. K. Simmons. The basic plot is a bunch of people "materialize" in the middle of a game at a soccer stadium. They claim to be from the future where earth is losing a war to aliens. The human race is down to about a half million people and unless humans from the past come to fight the war in the future, the human race will become extinct. You think, with the benefit of time travel, they could come up with a better solution than that. It ends up being a de facto draft where past humans have to spend something like two weeks in the future fighting aliens and if they survive, they get to go back to their own timeline. Apparently age and physical fitness are not a requirement as a wide range of unlikely people are drafted and thrown at the enemy. That didn't seem to make much sense to me as the low likelihood of surviving would make the whole process incredibly inefficient. Chris Pratt, a former special forces soldier ends up getting drafted. There's a lot of special effect battles and it's engaging enough. I finished it with a shrug. It wasn't one of those movies that you wished you got the two hours of your life back, nor was it so bad that it was unintentionally entertaining. On the other hand, if I had missed it, it would've been fine as well. If you're stuck looking for something and can't find anything else, it's fine. [/QUOTE]
