    • Trivia
      This film was made by Paramount Pictures for a theatrical release but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Paramount sold the film to Amazon Prime Video for $200 million.
    • Goofs
      The aliens are shown to be largely armored over much of their bodies though vulnerable to heavier ordnance, yet the standard issue weapons provided to soldiers are small caliber (5.56mm), short-barrel, carbines.

      It would make far more sense to issue larger caliber weaponry, e.g., 7.62mm battle rifles (in general issue in today's armies), with greater stopping power and penetration.

      It is also notable that there is little to no use of grenades (hand or launcher), which you would think useful.
    • Quotes

      Dan Forester: If there's one thing that the world needs right now, it's scientists. We cannot stop innovating. That's how you solve a problem.

    Worth a watch
    Nice idea and great action sequences. Monsters are very good. Considering there are not many action flicks out there at the moment, then this was a very good effort. Like the time travel theme in it and keeps you interested. Nice twist in the middle as well.
