The Tomorrow War (2021)
Tumblr media
The Tomorrow War regrettably spends its interesting premise revisiting tried-and-true sci-fi action elements. With its dynamic action scenes, frightening monsters, and strong performances, all this movie needed was a strong third act.
In 2022, we receive a desperate call for help from the future. A war against alien invaders called the "Whitespikes" is going bad. The people of 2051 ask that any able-bodied adults help by traveling to them via wormhole. Biology teacher and former Green Beret Dan Forester (Chris Pratt) is drafted, knowing fully well that fewer than 30% of those who face the Whitespikes return.
I love this setup. The soldiers from 2051 know who they can "safely" draft without disrupting the timeline and this wormhole - the only one they have the resources to maintain - is just the push they need to win. Dan - and his fellow recruits - are fighting for their children’s world because their future is non-existent but there's not enough time to properly train most of them. We have ordinary people thrown into an Aliens/Starship Troopers-like military conflict. The enemies are hideous creatures so efficient at killing you can empty an entire clip in their direction and barely make it out alive. There’s the immediate terror of being shredded to pieces, and the emotional weight of being forcibly drafted into a war you can’t say no to, all to save a generation that's just learning to walk.
The Tomorrow War could've been great but just isn't. Firstly, because the time travel idea isn’t utilized much, except for an obvious reveal about Dan’s daughter. No one seems to grasp the power humanity has unleashed when they can send themselves messages to the past. If they can capture even a single Whitespike and send it to 2021, they would have thirty years to figure out how to kill one efficiently. Millions of weapons could be built and stored for future soldiers to grab. Countries could be evacuated before the Whitespikes show up. You could send the data necessary to create wormholes to 2021 so they could set up more, etc. Secondly, it fails to address that they are changing the past and that - to a certain extent - the lives sacrificed don’t matter if history can be changed. The film really should’ve had another Earth from a parallel universe call for help, not a different timeline. This would’ve fixed many of the film’s issues.
The picture is exciting thanks to the desperate stand against the impossible odds, the inherent drama of the situation, and the frightening opponents. As a movie you watch at home "for free", it’s a good way to pass the time, though less so at the end. This movie is too long and doesn’t know what to do during its final act except take direct cues from Aliens, and The Thing. It’s particularly disappointing because the Tomorrow War plays no part in the final conflict.
The Tomorrow War needed to be smarter. Then, it might’ve been in the same league as Edge of Tomorrow - another film it resembles - instead, it’s a passable time-waster you probably won’t remember down the line. (July 7, 2021)

#Repost @obsessedwithmovies ・・・ It has been reported that James Cameron, "Deadpool" director Tim Miller and David Ellison of Skydance are teaming up for a new Terminator film; According to Deadline! Cameron, who will regain the Terminator rights in 2019, is reportedly “godfathering” the new film. Deadline also reported Ellison is "bankrolling an exploratory effort that includes engaging some top-flight science fiction authors to find the movie creatively. Ellison still holds many Terminator rights, after his 2013 acquisition from sister and Annapurna principal Megan Ellison. She bought them in 2011 at Cannes for $20 million." Deadline also added that they don’t know what form this new Terminator movie will take, whether it will be a reboot or a continuation of the first two films. The plan is for Miller to direct with what they come up with, as Cameron will be busy directing the four Avatar sequels. What are your guys thoughts on this? #Terminator #JamesCameron #TimMiller #DavidEllison #Deadline
