I've never written a review before but after watching this movie I just had to.
No amount of CGI can make up that stupid nonesense of a plot. I did not except much from this movie beforehand but it managed to get even worse.
Poor story, one-dimensional characters.
There's an alien invasion in the future and the only solution mankind comes up with is sending untrained civilians that don't even know how to load a gun into the future.
Half of them die on impact, the other half mysteriously survive falling 500ft from the sky into a shallow pool on a rooftop.
They manage to secure some samples from a laboratory by having unlimited ammo.
After that, they do some research on a female alien only to be completely destroyed by a horde of male aliens. Chris Pratt's daughter, a military biologist in the future, is able to find a toxin that could potentially kill all aliens.
However, Chris Pratt almost kills himself in a stupid act of trying to save his daughter because he clearly does not understand the logic of time travel.
If he can go back in time with the toxin, the war would likely never start and his daughter would never die anyways.
The soldiers come back from future with a possible solution to everything and are told that government don't want to spend roughly 5,000$ of "tax payers money" for a flight to Russia when they've already spend billions of dollars to make time travel possible in the first place.
Why Russia? They have asked a 15 year old boy from high school who is interested in volcanos and he came up with the solution to end all of this in a matter of seconds.
Now that they know the possible location of the aliens AND have a toxin to potentially kill all of them 30 years before the war even starts, they surely would wait and think this through for a couple of years right? Nope.
They just stupidly break into the alien ship, mess everything up completely, kill about three aliens with the toxin, only to blow up the whole ship before hell breaks loose and they're very close to waking up all of the aliens in the presence.
If this was enough already, Chris Pratt uppercuts the last female alien in a hand to hand combat to finally kill it.
I can understand how you give this a 6/10 if you can shut off your brain completely while watching this movie. Everyone giving this a 8, 9 or 10 is completely crazy or has never ever watched an actual good movie before.
