Storyline
The world is stunned when a group of time travelers arrive from the year 2051 to deliver an urgent message: Thirty years in the future, mankind is losing a global war against a deadly alien species. The only hope for survival is for soldiers and civilians from the present to be transported to the future and join the fight. Among those recruited is high school teacher and family man Dan Forester (Chris Pratt). Determined to save the world for his young daughter, Dan teams up with a brilliant scientist (Yvonne Strahovski) and his estranged father (J.K. Simmons) in a desperate quest to rewrite the fate of the planet.

Did you know
- TriviaThis 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.
- GoofsThe following goof was marked as incorrect: "The soldiers from 2051 come from a time when 99.99% of the human population is dead and the war is nearly lost. Nevertheless, the governments from the present devote tremendous resources to sending millions of drafted civilians to 2051 to die almost certain deaths. There is no discussion of using the knowledge from the future to fight the impending war differently and prevent human extinction. Only at the end does it seem to occur to anyone to send the toxin back in time to change the future." Reason for it being incorrect was said to be: "However, it is possible to develop the toxin only with a female specimen available, i.e. in the future, and it cannot be possible to bring her back in the present for studies." Still, this does not explain why no effort was taken in 2022 to use knowledge from 2051 to alter the course of history.

Is what the trailer says
An action movie! Aliens, things blowing up, people with guns shooting em from endless magazines. On a Sunday afternoon, with a glass of wine, this is perfect. And Chris Pratt is cool as usual. I watched this for some no nonsense fun. It delivers. Plot holes the size of the 7 oceans aside.
