The Tomorrow War (2021) review

A soccer match is interrupted by time travelers from the future who alert Earth that in thirty years our species would be extinct because of an invasion of virtually unkillable "Whitespikes" (big aliens) so they send high school biology teacher Dan Forester (Chris Pratt) - who just so happens to be a veteran of the Occupation of Iraq - and other humans "to the future" to ... eliminate them.  I don't know what combination of substances screenwriter Zach Dean had to have been on to write what is - to my mind - easily one of the most consistently baffling and illogical sci-fi scripts of the last several years (which is really saying something): not only does the "time jumping" concept need just a little bit more explanation, but sending middle aged people (who are not in the best of shape and not trained in physical combat) as essentially cannon fodder to stop an invasion makes zero sense, and then ripping a page out of the Terminator playbook is just pathetic.  This is one of those movies where the more you think about it the harder your veins throb, so for everyone's safety, let's just move on.
