Jack of Harts

Chris Pratt (Jurassic World) and Yvonne Strahovski (Chuck) did a thing recently, and it just came out. An interesting movie about an Earth invaded by aliens in the future. And when they realize they are losing, they go to the past in search of reinforcements. It’s not what you might call a massively scientific movie. More a monster slasher feature with sci-fi time travel tailorings. And they seriously needed to let some gun nuts go crazy and come up with some good elephant guns for taking on these aliens. The rifles they had looked cool and spat annoying confetti at the bad guys. No wonder the future was losing. All that said, it is an enjoyable romp, and the Rotten Tomatoes score bears that out. The critics don’t like it and the audience does. It’s full of good actors, playing good characters, in a story that hits the right beats, doing their best to save the world. I enjoyed it. There’s not much more I ask for from a movie these days, and Tomorrow War sticks the landing good enough for me.
