      No, the movie just explained their time travel poorly. The future guys did not tunnel into their past, its the same past slightly offset.. changes there wont propagate to your future. Prattguys future can be changed, and was thx to prattguy. But the future guys basically can only grab aid from that other past and help change that other pasts future.
      So the timetravel is not the issue. The issue is why are there no tanks, drones, bigger guns etc mass produced in that past and transferred over to the future guys?
      Yknow instead of randos with guns that are ineffective?

      @@trazyntheinfinite9895 Sorry, dude, you might have to watch this mess of a movie again to get the dirty details on the whole time travel shtick.. You’re definitely right about the bigger guns thing, however, about a half hour into the movie, during the R-Force mission briefing, the movie tries to answer away questions it thinks the audience might be asking by having the future guys explain it with the analogy of the “two rafts in a river”, and how the time travel jump links work. I believe the jumps are strictly 28 years apart, and “time only flows in one direction” (which doesn't indicate an alternate timeline). Okay, so the rules are presented to us, but the response to future crisis from both the people of the past and the future is just a TRAVESTY!

      @@WhiteKnuckleRide512 Yeah, I get it. Kudos if you enjoyed it. While I stink at "turning off my brain" for mindless entertainment, I do have the ability to suspend my disbelief, or at least take a thing for what it was meant to be, and be okay with the rules of the world that a movie establishes (I'm learning), everything else is kind of subjective. For example (and forgive me if I'm beating an old, dead horse here), the spinning totem that refuses to fall at the end of the movie Inception. It's a simple, genius cliffhanger by Nolan, to say the least, but it has everyone in an uproar, little do they know that their opinion doesn't matter. No matter what version of the story they wanted, they got what the screenwriter gave them. That being said, I don't care if viewers think that Cobb ended up in the dream world or not, it only matters what the director/writer meant for it to be. Anyways, if the Tomorrow War was meant to be a nonsensical, alien, time travel horror movie, then yay...whatever. It's still sad that TTW could've have been so much more than what we ended up getting: an intriguing premise, with a faulty execution.

      Your idea is sound, but they did give explanation as to why it wouldn't work. The guy says that both times are just a single, albeit different, point on the same linear timeline. While, yes, they are going back to the past all the points in the timeline are still moving forward. It's not like time will pause in the past when they jump back. It's also why there is pressure to finish everything quickly - because the future point is also still moving forward.
      That said, the idea that you can continuously jump backwards in time to a moving target in time is just silly. It's like they snapshotted a particular time in history and that's all that matters.

And yet, even with the rules of the world, everyone human acted dumb and irrational. The only smart choices were at the end with Chris Pratt’s character, his dad, and their team of alien exterminator: make the alien toxin, wipe them out before they wake up and attack the world in the PRESENT.

The time travel jumps are strickly 28 years apart (I think) on the same flow of time, but the future people were (or will be LOL) too busy dying to be able to capture a queen and develop the toxin. The aliens are tough to kill, sure, but those same aliens seemingly hibernate every 6 or 7 days for whatever reason. The movie makes excuses for characters to not be able to do certain things, and then it still manages to overlook obvious solutions just so the silly plot can happen-lazy horror movie vibes all over it! It’s kind of like a zombie movie jump scare. Zombies exist within the presented world of a zombie movie, fine, but what if that same world established that its zombies (like what I would imagine most zombies to be) have very little ability to ever be quiet even if they tried-and yet! Suspension of disbelief has its limits. They want you to turn your brain off and not think about it though. Boy, I WISH I could do that.

      I love that their excuse for immediately destroying the aliens was that if they told the world governments about it, they would take too long to make any sort of decision. But that logic doesn't work because they already knew that they had a deadline and they knew exactly what it was. Therefore, they could have easily taken the fact that these aliens existed to the UN and said, hey, we have to come to a decision on what we're going to do before x date otherwise we are all going to die. I have to imagine it would have been at least a few more years before the aliens thawed and woke up. For all we know, there was something within the aliens themselves that could have cured all known diseases, but just because JK Simmons doesn't like bureaucracy, we have to blow them up. It was a really stupid fucking decision.

The training for the mobile infantry also involved way more death and torture.

    The star of the movie should have been Betty Gilpin. Make her a physicist or something who's experiment goes wrong and gets sucked into the future where the fight is already being lost. She is trying to find her family who she fears is already dead, and along the way runs into resistance fighters who try to help her and also show her how to fight the aliens. She finds her now grown daughter who had thought her mom had died years ago. Ultimately the mom sacrifices her life to save her future daughter, but also to help finally turn the tide against the aliens. Nothing happens in the past, there is no paradox stuff, but the war is still "Tomorrow".
    Or if you absolutely need to make one of the themes about a father's love, or his impact on his family, the main character should be the child who meets the dad in the future and now has their own family and must learn to reconcile the feelings of abandonment they felt to repair their relationship and break the cycle. Dad from the past sacrifices himself in the end after telling son in the future that a dad's greatest gift to a child is his time, and he is giving all his remaining years so his son may live.
