Our take on The Tomorrow War

Chris McKay's 2021 science-fiction actioner opens with time travelers from 2051 warning that humanity is losing a war against a deadly alien species. Present-day soldiers and civilians are conscripted and sent forward to fight, among them high school teacher and family man Dan Forester. Determined to secure a future for his young daughter, Dan joins a brilliant scientist and his estranged father in a desperate bid to rewrite the planet's fate. Big in scale and driven by relentless combat, it pairs alien-invasion spectacle with a father-daughter emotional throughline. It suits viewers hungry for high-concept action, creature threats and a steady dose of blockbuster momentum over quiet reflection.
