‘The Tomorrow War’ movie review: Back to the ‘90s with Chris Pratt
The Hindu
Director Chris McKay’s action-thriller is reminiscent of big, bad alien flicks from a few years ago; standard fare, but good fun nonetheless
Time travel, nasty toothy aliens, fathers and children, mean choppers and meaner muscle, and an adequate sprinkling of humour — the only way you know for sure it is not the ‘90s is because you are watching this film at home. . The Tomorrow War opens with people falling out of the sky into a swimming pool. Then we are in 2022 with Dan Forester (Chris Pratt), a former soldier, now high school teacher, coming home to watch the football game with his precocious nine-year daughter Muri (Ryan Kiera Armstrong). The game is interrupted with a message from 2051—the planet is under attack from aliens and losing the fight spectacularly. The only hope seems to be to send soldiers from now to the future to fight the aliens — yay time travel!More Related News
