Film Review – The Tomorrow War

Giving his star power a major marketplace test, Chris Pratt returns to save the world in “The Tomorrow War,” his first monster-budgeted feature that isn’t supported by Marvel Entertainment or the rampaging dinosaurs of the “Jurassic World” saga. It’s not a huge stretch for the actor, who’s once again placed into the middle of heavy CGI and noisy creatures, with his character tasked with entering the future to save the past, offering Pratt a chance to play action hero and a sensitive guy experiencing the fight of his life. Animation director Chris McKay (“The Lego Batman Movie”) graduates to live-action mayhem for the endeavor, and he does an admirable job creating bigness for “The Tomorrow War,” which offers visual punch and genuine suspense for its first two acts. At nearly 140 minutes in length, the production wears out its welcome, but introductory confusion is enjoyable, with the film presenting a fun ride of elaborate survival sequences.
