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

The very model of average.

While it starts off visually appealing, those slick graphics quickly give way to bog standard concrete cooridors, warehouses and refinery sets. Much as you would expect from middle of the road sci fi.

The premise is exactly what you would expect. A war in the future, so time travel hyjinx and paradoxes ensue.

Nothing here is particularly wonderful. It just succeeds on being average and not offensively so.

One of the pros this film has is it has one of the most clearly defined 3 act setup as any film in recent memory.

Just dont let the solid performances from the cast or the early slick graphics or the later huge cgi esplosun set pieces deceive you. This is very predictable, by the numbers affair. Its reasonably watchable. I know I have wasted time on far FAR worse without half the nominal payoff this film provides. Just watch it and then just as quickly forget about it. You probably will never think of this again after watching it as long as you live, but it will mostly keep your attention for its run time. 5/10.
