Directed by: Chris McKay

Written by: Zach Dean

Starring: Chris Pratt, J.K Simmons, Yvonne Strahovski, Betty Gilpin, Sam Richardson, Jasmine Mathews,

The world becomes stunned when a group of time travellers from 30 years into the future, the year 2051, delivers an urgent message stating that mankind is losing a global war against a deadly alien species that has taken over the planet!.

The only hope for survival is to call upon people from the present day, December 2022, to become soldiers and to be transported to the future to save the world and humanity. Among those being recruited, High School teacher and family man Dan Forester (Chris Pratt) is one of the many who have been recruited to help save the world.

After experiencing the world 30 years ahead of his current time, he is thrown into the deep end and on a rescue mission for some soldiers currently trapped and needing help to get out. Still, when this fails, the remaining soldiers end up back at base, where Dan meets his daughter and sees how well she has done for herself. Still, after Dan finds himself on another mission – with his daughter, he does everything he can to protect her, but this mission goes wrong when they fail to defeat the alien monsters.

Being transported back to the present day, Dan wakes up in a hospital bed. He states that it is what is needed to destroy the monsters and save the world!

Without giving too much away, this is one of THE BEST Sci-fi/Action films I have seen for a while, and it makes this film even better with Chris Pratt starring in, and also being the executive producer – he did a great job with this, alongside Chris McKay!

I really enjoyed this film. My surround sound, which I had set up in my room, made me feel as though I had just been in the cinema, as it was configured correctly for watching films. This was the first film I watched after setting the sound for optimal tuning, specifically for a cinema experience.

Fantastic writing and directing, for this movie, and all-around great casting and plot! Excellent film; I cannot rate it enough!

Side note: I ordered Pizza so I could watch this film and eat my dinner too, but I forgot I had pizza, as I was on edge for the whole duration of the movie. I even found myself screaming at the TV towards the near end. Intense scenes were given to me. I even switched my phone to Do Not Disturb, so I wasn’t distracted by messages. Then, I panicked at the end credits when I realized I had forgotten where my phone was. I was sitting on it, LOL.

If you haven’t seen this film yet, what are you doing?! Sit down, NOW, and watch it! I can promise you that if you are looking for a good movie to watch that keeps you on the edge of your seat, this film is one you have to watch. I absolutely loved it from start to finish!!

Chris Pratt is amazing in this film, and so is Yvonne Strahovski (who you may know from being Serena Joy Waterford in The Handmaid’s Tale). Her acting in this movie is as good as it is in The Handmaid’s Tale, if not better! And, Chris Pratt, well, he just blows me away. I love watching him in films; he is one of my favourite actors, and he was as amazing as usual in this movie!

Spoiler Alert: There is a scene near the start where he is topless, and my goodness, I almost reached for something cold to cool myself off…

I give this film a maximum rating of 5 stars, but I rate it significantly higher; it definitely reaches a 10/10 on the rating scale for me, making it 100% one of the best films on Amazon Prime, currently.

GO AND WATCH IT, THIS FILM IS GREAT!
