The Tomorrow War movie review: Is tomorrow when the war began on Netflix?
What Is The Plot Of The Tomorrow War?
The story starts in the year 2022 and shows the live broadcast of the football World Cup. During this telecast, suddenly, a strange blinding light appears in the middle of the football field.
The light later turns out to be the result of time travel that has brought soldiers from the future. Lieutenant Hart, the woman leading the soldiers, says, “We are you, 30 years in the future. We are fighting, our enemy is not humans, and we are losing.”
The future humans tell the present humans that 30 years from now, humanity will be wiped out. And the total Earth population will be declined to a mere five hundred thousand.
As the movie progresses, we learn that people are chosen and sent into the future through a random but conscription process.
A machine is put on their hands that is connected to their nervous system. If the device is working, then the person is alive. And after the completion of this 7-days tour, if anyone manages to survive – wherever they may be – they will be transferred back.
However, a ‘time paradox’ in the movie states’ two same people of different timelines cannot exist simultaneously.’ In layman’s language, this would mean that the people from the present going into the future must be dead at that time to do the time jump.

Dan Forester – played by Chris Pratt – our protagonist, an ex-military veteran and now a high school science teacher, is chosen for drafting the time-traveling process. When he tells his wife about this, she asks him to get the machine off his hand.
And the only person who can possibly do this is Dan’s father. But Dan’s relation with his father is not really ideal. Still, he goes to talk to him, and we get a glimpse into why his relationship is so bad with his father.
The idea doesn’t work out, and he has to go to the future. There he finally sees the ‘white spikes,’ the aliens responsible for human extinction.
Most of the people die in the initial encounter with the white spikes. But Dan and a few others manage to survive. He then comes face to face with the commanding officer, who also happens to be his daughter, Muri Forester – played by Yvonne Strahovski – now all grown up, beautiful and smart.
Muri does interact with his father but still keeps her distance from him. Dan, unable to understand this behavior of hers, asks her why she is doing so.
He finds out that he did the same thing to his family as his father did to him. He fell apart from them, divorced his wife, and then died in a car accident when Muri was 16 years old.
After knowing this, Dan’s whole perspective towards life and his family, changes.
Towards the end of the movie, he and Muri get close, and she develops a toxin that can kill all of the white spikes. However, they get attacked by the white spikes before they can use that toxin.
And around that time, Dan’s trip of 7 days comes to an end, and he comes back to the present. Muri gives him the toxin and asks him to mass-produce it in his timeline and destroy all aliens before they can rise and exterminate humanity.
Dan doesn’t want to leave Muri there because if he successfully stops the rise of white spikes in his time, the future will change and that Muri will cease to exist.
But just after this scene that Muri gets eaten by the white spikes, and Dan comes back. With the help of his dad – played by J.K. Simmons – and some other friends (Dorian, Charlie, Lieutenant Hart), he finds the aliens and exterminates them with the help of the toxin that they have mass-produced.
The Tomorrow War (2021) – Full Cast & Crew – Storishh
This action, sci-fi, is directed by Chris McKay, and the main cast includes – Chris Pratt as Dan Forester and Yvonne Strahovski as Muri Forester. The supporting cast included – J.K. Simmons, Betty Gilpin, Sam Richardson, Edwin Hodge, and Jasmine Matthews.
Chris Pratt did a good job at portraying the character of Dan. But of course, there was room for improvement. At some point in the movie, the performance could have been improved.
But otherwise, he gave what would be expected of the ‘Starlord,’ and the performance was fairly good.
Yvonne Strahovski also did a great job as Muri Forester. She never let go of the character. While sharing the screen with Chris as his daughter, she was pretty convincing.
This can be pretty hard given that if these two would be the main cast in any other story, they would surely have a romantic angel.
J.K. Simmons as James Forester – Dan’s dad did a fantastic job. This would probably be one of the few times you would see such a cool dad.
And his portrayal of the character was great too. Guilt, sadness, anger and happiness, even sarcasm, all emotions were on point.
Jasmine Matthews as lieutenant Hart, Edwin Hodge as Dorian, Sam Richardson as Charlie, and Betty Gilpin as Emmy Forester all did a pretty convincing and good job.
Though all of them didn’t have much screen time, they were undoubtedly important for developing the story. However, most of the focus is on Muri and even more on Dan.

What Did The Movie Teach?
View this post on Instagram
Some remember worthy dialogues from the tomorrow war movie goes by this:
Sometimes, a man does what is best for his family, not him.
I am not a hero, I was just trying to save my daughter. If I gotta save the world to save her, then I am damn sure going to do it.
I will never leave this family. Because my best future, it turns out, was always right in front of me.
The tomorrow war’s dialogues like these tell us throughout the movie that family is very important. Even the whole struggle Dan does is to save Muri. Well, mostly.
But that’s not all. There are a few other life lessons that this film did give the audience.
Second chances are really hard to come by.
If there’s one thing that the world needs right now, it’s scientists. We cannot stop innovating. That’s how you solve a problem.
You don’t laugh if someone says they are gonna survive something.
Now, these are pretty good advice to give to someone. Don’t you think?
Plot holes & room for improvement
In a scene, Dan wants to take the future Muri with him to the past. But the movie earlier shows that the same person of two different timelines cannot co-exist in the same timeline ever.
Though she gets eaten by aliens and Dan cannot take her back, it is still disappointing that the story was written like this.
Considering the movie was an action genre, the action in the movie is not that much or that good. Without any doubt, that particular field could use a lot of improvement and work on.
The movie is ended, showing that Dan lives happily ever after with his family and doesn’t fall apart or divorce his wife. He even reconciles with his father.
Which is all good, after all, who doesn’t like happy endings but there is something called ‘time paradox’ that states’ things are always destined to turn out the same way, and that whatever has happened must happen.’
The Tomorrow War movie review 2021
Overall, the movie is a fair deal. There are no edgy, suspense scenes, but weirdly, the movie can keep you hooked.
There are some amazingly beautiful scenes in the movie where the cinematography and direction are outstanding. Also, when it comes to acting, the cast has not disappointed viewers.
The story is fine. Nothing new, just the old, classic time travel and aliens. But yes, this is probably the first movie where the two biggest sci-fi topics have been merged together.
Despite major potholes regarding time travel and certainly room for improvement in the action and a couple of cringy moments, the movie is a fair game if you want a decent watch on a weekend and chill.

Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya Movie Review: Sci-Fi Rom-Com Which Can Be Skipped
The movie Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya follows the life of Aryan Agnihotri, played by Shahid Kapoor, a robotics’ engineer who falls in love with his aunt’s assistant, Sifra, only to find out later that she is a robot. What happens later forms the premise of Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, where Aryan and Sifra navigate their way to make the relationship work. While the idea of a human-robot relationship in an Indian film may seem new, the film is nothing but an attempt to test your patience and sell you what has already been sold to you before, but in a different package.
The pitch of the film is incredibly bland and loud; it tries to present itself as a “no-brainer,” but what the duo of Amit Joshi and Aradhana forgot to add to the memo was the fact that no-brainer films are, at the very least, entertaining. This film comes nowhere close to that. Keep reading the Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya movie review.

Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya Movie Review: The flaws in the flow
The writing of the film is all over the place, the screenplay of the film is incredibly confused, the dialogues include the likes of “Dhumrapan nahi isse sutta maarna kehte hain,” the characters are mostly like caricatures, and the first half of the film is incredibly dull and boring; it’s almost like an extended T-Series music video.
The idea had a lot of potential on paper and has been captured very effectively in films like Her, but the themes of this film are incredibly half-baked. As an audience, you cannot care enough about Aryan and Sifra; it fails to engage you in any way. The shifts in the screenplay are too abrupt and frequent, which throws you off, starting from a breezy beach romance to the pair accepting their situation to random incidents happening along the way that have no significance to the plot or the screenplay to a comedy of errors in the family. The film is incredibly confused about what it wants to portray itself as.
The climax had a lot of potential and could have been the saving grace as far as the writing is concerned. The ideas and troupes could have been interesting, and they would have elevated the screenplay, but the disjointed writing of the film sticks out like a sore thumb and restrains it from thriving.
Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya Movie Review: Performances
Perhaps the only aspect that can engage you as a viewer is the performance of the film. The chemistry between Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon works well for the film.
Shahid Kapoor has done a commendable job with the role; he is whacky and tries to do his best with the half-baked character and the cringey dialogues. Kriti Sanon is the standout from the cast, as she beautifully balances the complexities of their dynamic. She had a lot of potential in this role and could have done even better if the writing of the character had more potential, which sadly isn’t the case.
Ashish Verma as Shahid Kapoor’s best friend Monty, has also played his role incredibly well and steals every scene he features in. He has a limited screen presence, which also takes away from the film’s overall impact.
The other characters can best be summarised with the fake laugh of Sifra, as they add nothing more than annoyance to the film-watching experience.

Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya Movie Review: Technical Aspects
The frames of this film can make you go blind (yes, they are that bright). There is nothing new in terms of camerawork; it follows the typical Hindi cinema camera work without any newer element or innovation, which is a wasted opportunity considering the subject of the film. There could have been some form of redemption.
The remake of the title track is terrible. Right from the costumes to the choreography, it just doesn’t work. The steps are awkward, the pairs look uncomfortable while performing, the song has too many cuts, and the costumes are horrendous.
In contradiction to the title track, Laal Peeli Akhiyaan, and Akhiyaan Gulaab is phenomenal. The pair put their best foot forward and do a commendable job in the former, while Shahid Kapoor moves like a dream in the latter and kills it. The choreography in both the songs are both fun and fantastic and has been executed really well.
Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya Movie Review: Conclusion
To conclude, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya could have been a fun and entertaining comedy of errors, consisting of whacky gags and with the presence of a recurring emotional arc, but the film falters terribly in the writing and execution and wastes the talent of brilliant actors, which includes the likes of Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Dimple Kapadia.

With the tagline – fairytales jhoot hai, love jhoot hai, orgasms bhi jhoot hai – the trailer of Thank You for Coming gives us a sneak peek into an unconventional fairytale, that in fact resonates with the reality of women across all generations.

Thank You For Coming Movie Pre Review: The cast
This adult comedy has done a brilliant job with casting, as we cannot imagine a more perfect group of friends than Bhumi Pednekar, Khusha Kapila , Shehnaaz Gill, Dolly Singh, and Shibani Bedi in the lead who support each other and try to navigate through the adult life.
Also, in the Thank You for Coming movie trailer, Khusha Kapila sneakily gives us mean girls’ vibes that we just love.
Thank You For Coming Movie: Production
Set to release on 6th October this year, the movie has been produced by the father-daughter duo – Anil and Rhea Kapoor. Looking at the successful record of movies – like Aisha, Khoobsurat, and Veere Di Wedding – produced by Rhea Kapoor, Thank You for Coming looks quite promising.

Thank You For Coming Movie: The Story and Inspiration
Women-centric movies of today are finally shifting the focus to some of the girl problems as well, which are otherwise largely brushed off and never to be spoken about again. The topic of lack of pleasure faced by women in sexual relationships first started gaining momentum in India with the #OrgasmInequality campaign by the condom brand, Durex.
It stated that almost 70% of women in India never orgasm – which went viral with netizens speaking up on the topic in large numbers.
Thank You For Coming Movie: What’s New?
This is the first movie that is bringing discussions around this hush-hush topic on the big screen, humorously of course, setting the stage for a lot of girl talk. Did you know women can freeze eggs to easily have kids after 40? Thank You for Coming talks about that too.
Thank You For Coming Movie: Music
The upbeat and lively music used in the trailer of the movie has us grooving in our seats. It has a touch of wedding vibes and greatly compliments the overall humorous take of the movie. Since the movie is also about finding the perfect life partner (in all senses), so, from the pre review of Thank you for coming we can say that the movie track gets a 10.
Thank You For Coming Movie: End Note
If you are tired of watching Bollywood movies that have the same fairytale romance for ages, in the words of Bhumi Pednekar – is rajkumari ki fairytale hai sab se hat ke. Moreover, did we mention the Greek God appearance of Karan Kundra in the Thank You for Coming trailer?
He is sure to turn the heat up in the movie! As we can guess from the trailer, the dialogues, the on-point humor, the cinematography, and of course the acting of the stars in this movie are going to be top-notch. Thank You for Coming is all set to shed some light on the problems of women that have been shut down for way too long now. Are you excited for this movie? We sure are!
