This sci-fi hit was supposed to hit theaters in 2020, but the pandemic prevented it. On Prime Video you can watch The War of Tomorrow

While I was reporting the news yesterday about RED ONE, Amazon’s next bet to sweep the Christmas market, I remembered Tomorrow’s Wara science fiction blockbuster released directly by Prime Video that would end up being one of its biggest hits, although it was supposed to have been a mass phenomenon in theaters at Christmas 2020 with Chris Pratt as the main attraction.

It was seen by more people than WW 1984 on streaming

According to Samba, a tool for measuring audience content in streaming services, more than 2.4 million homes enjoyed the film in the United States during its first weekend, which made it one of the biggest hits of all time for Prime Video, but also for any other streaming service, surpassing “box office” figures like Wonder Woman 1984 , which premiered on HBO Max just a few months earlier.

The total number of spectators, much to our regret, is unknown.this is not Netflix, but it was reported at the time that at least five million households watched it in its first month in the US. Is it enough for Amazon to consider it covered? its investment of 200 million dollars? In a company that spent just over $400 million on the first season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, this figure may seem small, but we are talking about a movie, a product that is only two hours long. footage to watch and perhaps never enjoy again. It was stupid.

But, of course, everything was thought out here so that this would be the big hit for the 2020 Christmas campaign. A science fiction story rich in action and easy to follow alongside a familiar actor, perhaps the one most suited to the US audience. USA with Dwayne Johnson. But the pandemic arrived and its producers had to find a way to save the investment. Prime Video showed up to pay for the party.

It is difficult to say today whether if 2020 had been a normal year, this film would have managed to be the blockbuster that its producers so believed in, but we were able to enjoy a very fun science fiction hit on television in which a group of time travelers They came in the middle of a soccer game to tell us the following: humanity is losing a war in the future against a deadly alien species and they need soldiers to fight them. By the way, a nice fact, in the alternative 2022 that was presented to us in this story, it was Brazil who “won” the World Cup final in Qatar and not Argentina.

Where to watch Tomorrow’s War on television

And is Tomorrow’s War okay? Well, the film directed by Chris McKay (Batman: The LEGO Movie) did not stand out for being a particularly revolutionary work, but yes I had everything to hook to those passionate about stories like Independence Day, who are not exactly few due to the blockbuster that was Roland Emmerich’s blockbuster, and that element of recruiting soldiers in the past to save the future of their children seemed interesting to me. Having said that, the story was maybe a tad long and it had a certain twist at the end. In short, they are 138 minutes full of fairly well-shot action sequences with aliens to kill that today, when there is no Euro Cup match to watch, you might think a good popcorn plan for tonight. You can find it still available in the Prime Video movie catalog.
