As the saying goes, there is “nothing new under the sun.” This is true with Hollywood films. To minimize financial risk, film companies produce movies that feature variations of the same stories over and over and over. Since these narratives are being reused, the key lies in skilled filmmakers who craft interesting and compelling ways to tell their stories. When “The Tomorrow War” popped up on my film radar, I expected more of the derivative stuff. However, I was pleasantly surprised, and it turned out to be a nice surprise.
