Introduction to Chris Pratt The Tomorrow War Movie Review

 

You may have heard of actor Chris Pratt from such big blockbuster movies as Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic Park. Well, it looks like he is returning to acting in science fiction based movies since he is starring in The Tomorrow War movie.

 

How is Chris Pratt's acting skills in The Tomorrow War movie? Even more importantly, is The Tomorrow War movie worth checking out on Amazon Prime video. Check out my review of Chris Pratt The Tomorrow War movie to find out.

 

Plot of Chris Pratt The Tomorrow War Movie

 

Chris Pratt The Tomorrow War movie's plot centers around, to put it bluntly, the end of the world in the future due to invasion by alien creatures. This evasion or war is purportedly predicted to happen years in the future; however, in order to prevent this action from taking place, teams of people, including civilians are drafted to be transported to the future to fight this war.

As expected, Chris Pratt’s character is in the midst of the action as he not only participates in this future war but actually leads a team to fight against aliens in an attempt to save the world. There is drama also as the storyline includes Chris Pratt’s character family issues potentially happening in the future.

 

Action Scenes in Chris Pratt The Tomorrow War Movie

 

There is a hint of drama in Chris Pratt The Tomorrow War movie, but for the most part, Chris Pratt The Tomorrow movie is an action, science-fiction movie dealing with lots of fights against alien creatures. In fact, if you watch this movie, you may agree with me that the action, battle scenes are seemingly the most interesting parts in the movie. If your attention wanes during some parts of the movie, it may return when the action, fighting scenes are shown.  

 

 

 

Acting Skills Displayed in Chris Pratt The Tomorrow War Movie

 

I think the acting skills displayed by the actors were adequate for the movie. After all, the gist of the movie is people fighting against aliens so scenes to show dramatic acting performance abilities were few and far between. Towards that end, in my opinion, Chris Pratt lacked acting skills to carry a dramatic part in this movie which sometimes he demonstrated in some scenes by just frowning most of the time.  His lack of dramatic acting skills did not diminish from the movie, since, as I mentioned previously, these type scenes are scarce in the movie.

 

 

 

Time Progression and Aging in Chris Pratt The Tomorrow War Movie

 

 

 

You may notice that Chris Pratt’s character does not age when he is shown in the future. However, a person closely related to him has aged from a child to a young adult. It was interesting to me that this time-parallel sequence was not thought out further. For example if Chris Pratt is not present in the future during this time period, how is it possible for him to appear in his present form to fight aliens in the future. I guess we will have to “blame” movie magic for this time inconsistency. 

 

Chris Pratt The Tomorrow War movie has some vague similarities to a Ben Affleck movie I reviewed, Paycheck.; however, there were no aliens in Paycheck and his character’s time progression was in the recent future instead of years to come. There was also no military type war in Ben Affleck’s Paycheck movie.

 

Assessment of Chris Pratt The Tomorrow War Movie

 

Chris Pratt The Tomorrow movie is long -- lasting two hours and twenty minutes, however, due to the attention grabbing action scenes, the time will not seem to stretch on as long. 

 

Towards that end, the high points of Chris Pratt The Tomorrow War movie were the acting battle scenes. Props go to the Computer-Generated Images CGI people who created alien images that looked gross -- but realistic. 

 

However there are some writing gaffes in the movie. For example, I thought it was strange that Chris Pratt did not recognize someone who was so close to him in his family in the present. 

 

Also, it was interesting to me that another character in the movie who had fought this future war at least three times previously was not placed in charge of a team, instead of Chris Pratt’s character.

 

The above being said, I enjoyed watching Chris Pratt The Tomorrow War movie, mostly due to the action scenes. I think you may like watching this movie too.
