I had low hopes for this one from the trailer and it didn't disappoint. Dan Forester (Chris Pratt) and his crew of generic characters you have seen in all the other generic movies of the ilk go into the future to fight a losing war against man eating aliens. As movies go using usual tropes, adding nothing new to the genre at all, it's harmless fun with some good visuals, as long as you don't ask yourself Q's like they can develop time travel but can't make a shoulder fired weapon that does anything but piss off the aliens, and so forth. The obvious comparison movie is Edge Of Tomorrow and Colonel Muri Forester (Yvonne Strahovski) even looks like Emily Blunt in some scenes. They even managed to fit in blaming the arrival of the man eating aliens on global warming. B-/C+
