Has anyone seen "The Tomorrow War" on Prime Video?

I watched it last night and was pleasantly surprised. I really liked it. Granted, there are some plot holes large enough to drive a Mack truck through, but if you just go with it, it really holds your interest.

Storyline from imdb:

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.

If you have roughly 2 hours and 18 minutes to spare, it's worth checking out.

Agree about the obvious plot holes and contradictions, but it was good entertainment anyway. Good production

I really enjoyed it and did not notice any plot holes you could drive a truck through. Thanks for posting as I was not planning to watch this till I saw this thread.
