Nostalgia for the 80s is still sweeping through confused Hollywood, seeking new inspiration for clues in its second renaissance. “War of the future“From the creator of three seasons”Robot Chicken” from Chris Pratt in the title role, who could not jump out of the image “Star Lord”, Plays on the field of fantastic action films for one evening.
According to the plot idea, in the distant 2050, aliens captured most of the Earth and almost destroyed humanity, but a group of scientists was able to create a portal to the past. And now the world united in the face of the threat of destruction selects people who will one way or another die in the near future, and sends them to the distant future in order to repel the alien army. Pratt’s character, a retired Marine and biology teacher, is on the roster of recruits to complete the most important mission to save two worlds.
“War of the future“Involuntarily reaches for vibrations”Starship Troopers”And a little to the game series Gears of war, but the authors of the picture create their own universe with a small number of plot holes and conventions. At the same time, the directors do an excellent job with the entertainment task. In the film, there are enough shootings and fights with insecticidal enemies who crush armored vehicles and tear weak people to pieces. The level of graphics remains at an average level, but the picture of large-scale battles of technology against the horde or direct confrontation between heroes and creatures does not cause laughter or disgust. Everything looks more than acceptable.
If we go back to the caste, then the budget was clearly enough only for Chris Pratt. The rest of the cast is much less well-known, and the game is on the level of the average series. However, one can hardly expect a miracle from a typical fantasy, which will be completely forgotten in a few weeks.
“War of the Future” is a one-night movie that can be watched in a movie theater or on a small screen at home with a girl or best friends while eating pizza or other fast food. The pleasure and absence of headaches and regrets in this case is fully guaranteed.
