My quick rating - 6,5/10. They definitely spared no expense on the action and effects here. Those sequences are top notch keeping you glued to the screen. A lot of attention to detail in the cinematography and CGI blend really looks superb especially in the creature designs. Very much made me think of "Starship Troopers" when the aliens would swarm in attack mode. This is exactly what a summer popcorn flick is supposed to be. The initial scene when they jump ahead 50 years is well worth the price of admission ;) And with saying that, their is the completely ridiculous take on time travel these morons had. By the title you know something happens with our star, Chris Pratt, being sent into the future to fight a war that hasn't happened yet. Ok, that logic is fine but than it all just falls apart. I want to point out spoilers just so you can understand the stupidity involved but I am sure many of you are going to check this one out on Amazon Prime. I'll just say it was pissing me off to no end how many times I had to say "Why the hell is it going to matter?" in the things that are said and done with the time jumping. And you will to since it just defies simple logic such as when I typed 6,5, that is in the past. Period. So if I go back to the past and change it to 6,8, well in the future it is gonna be 6,8 (which is where I started until I got angry about this time travel dilema). If that part makes sense, than this movie will anger you. All I am gonna say without spoiling it. But if you push that aside you have a really nice looking action flick that will grab and hold your attention up to the very end, as silly as the casts approach on defeating the aliens ends up being. That will also fall into your anger of time travel and this movie, well more anger at the screenwriters for being so dumb. WOW, I didn't even swear and trust me, I want to. You fix up the story a bit, and you are looking at gold.
