Critics Consensus

Chris Pratt ably anchors this sci-fi adventure, even if The Tomorrow War may not linger in the memory much longer than today.

Audience Consensus

It isn't the most surprising time-travel movie, but a satisfying story and plenty of entertaining action make The Tomorrow War well worth a watch.

Adam I Better movie than the ratings. Have watched many of times. Fantastic movie! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Keizi C This straight to streaming action blockbuster was an absolute blast!... for streaming standards unfortunately. It has great creature designs that are gut turning at times and provides your taste buds with enough comedy, emotion and action to entertain. With that unfortunately comes a film with no real sense of pacing, context, or breathable moments for important characters. It's cool to look at, but mostly when people are fighting extraterrestrials unfortunately. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Jeff D Great movie. We need more of these. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Audience Member Great movie! Love Chris Pratt in this movie and it’s peak cinema. The aliens are horrifying and the story is amazing ing every way. Definitely would recommend. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Hamez O Story 7/10. Action sequences 10/10. Chris Pratt's acting 9.5/10. The Movie is a solid 9/10. Personally, I enjoyed this very much. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Person 1 A perfect shot-for-shot remake of Tom Cruise's alien monster film Edge of Tomorrow.... I'm joking of course but the similarities are here - which is totally fine - if you love alien monster films then you'll enjoy this. It lacks comic relief so most of the film is a bit gloomy. And the pacing feels a bit off. Like I was expecting it to be longer or something. But the action is good and the CGI is very monstery. Tom did it better though. Edge of Tomorrow was awesome. Watch that first. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

The Tomorrow War | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Roxana Hadadi Polygon Narratively padded and visually overstuffed with CGI, The Tomorrow War plays out like Starship Troopers drained of Paul Verhoeven's subversive satire. Jul 24, 2021 Full Review The Tomorrow War | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly It does, in its cheap-and-cheerful way, have fun. Rated: B- Jul 12, 2021 Full Review The Tomorrow War | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News "The Tomorrow War" is the surprise of the season, a stuffed-to-the-gills battle between evil aliens and terrified humans. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 9, 2021 Full Review The Tomorrow War | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Zach Pope Zach Pope Reviews It’s not perfect, it won’t be the next big classic, but with greatly done action, awesome alien design, & A FANTASTIC STANDOUT PERFORMANCE from Yvonne Strahovski! PUT HER IN MORE THINGS PLEASE Jul 26, 2023 Full Review The Tomorrow War | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews The Tomorrow War is one of the biggest surprises of the year, boasting an impressively creative creature design, entertaining action sequences, and a contender for the most beautiful shot of 2021. Rated: B Jul 25, 2023 Full Review The Tomorrow War | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) It’s only fitting that Chris Pratt honors his place among the Schwarzeneggers by doing the kind of sci-fi action movie Arnold would’ve done in the 90s.
