For very different reasons, it has been on the table every time there has been talk of ‘Electric status‘, The Russo feature film for Netflix, its exorbitant budget of 320 million dollars, while comparing it to the two previous blockbusters of the platform,’ Red Alert ‘and’ The invisible agent But the second platform in importance and number of subscribers also has a lot to say in terms of large budgets: ‘The Tomorrow War‘ cost to prime video 200 million dollars.
The truth is that it is not exactly the budget of the film, but what Amazon paid for it: ‘The war of tomorrow’ It was owned by Paramount, who conceived it to be released in cinemas. However, he did not see it clear with the arrival of the COVID, the closure of the rooms and the continued delay of multitude of premieres. Prime Video took the opportunity paying those 200 million for the exclusive distribution rights, and renamed him: he became the most watched film in the history of the platform, and even today is the most expensive of all those he has released.
‘The war of tomorrow’ is, properly speaking, a time travel film, although without paradoxes or complications. At present a group of travelers arrives in time since 2051 to deliver an urgent message: humanity is losing a world war against alien invaders. From the future, they require that soldiers and citizens of the present travel to help in the war.
Thus begins a story that has more to do with ‘Space troops’ (without satire) than with ‘Back to the future’: Chris Pratt, Yvonne Stahovski and JK Simmons lead an attractive cast that gives luster to a few Set-Pieces of action shot with forcefulness And good taste. A simple, direct film and with a handful of surprises, and that with a style a couple of decades ago it leaves space for boredom
