They reach the building to realize the scientists have been killed, but Dan locates the vials. Had Dan been one of the unfortunate ones to land on the street, it would have been a rather short film.Ĭolonel Forester reaches out to and tells Dan and team to rescue a team of scientists and fetch a set of vials critical to killing the aliens. Most people fall to their deaths except for a small group that lands in a terrace swimming pool. The output coordinates are messed up, and instead of the beach, the time jumpers are dropped hundreds of feet over the city. The future soldiers who have arrived are very young and are chosen that way because they would not yet be born in the present. In Dan’s case, he would die in 2030, so he will not be around in 2051, and this is the case with everyone else selected for the mission. This is done to avoid a person running into their older future selves that could cause a paradox. The primary selection criterion is that the person travelling should have died before the point of the time jump in the future. Based on what rules are people selected to go to the future?

It’s important to note that these jumps are happening between two different timelines. This is the meaning of the “two rafts” explanation that the young major gives. If someone jumps from 2022 to 2052 and stays there for a year and then jumps back, they return to 2023. The future establishes a wormhole that can transport people over a fixed period of about 30 years. The Tomorrow War: Jumplink and Time Jumps Explained Emmy eventually dies of unknown reasons, and Muri grows old to get a doctorate in biotechnology and ultimately creates R-Force. We’ll get to Timeline-2 in a bit please bear with me.ĭan dies in a car crash on October 13, 2030, in Timeline 1, when Muri is 16 years old.

Again, the opening of the movie that we see is from Timeline 2, not Timeline 1. I’m sure you’re wondering what on earth I’m talking about. In Timeline-1, Dan does not go to fight in the future war.

After a few years, he eventually leaves his family, which breaks Emmy’s (his wife) and Muri’s (his daughter) hearts.

While not shown in the film, in Timeline-1, Dan leads an unhappy life. Let’s now go through the story one timeline at a time. Time travel happens between these two timelines. The present (as in 2022-23) that we see is Timeline-2, and the future (2050-51) is Timeline-1. The movie has primarily two intertwined timelines: To avoid that situation, I’m going to narrate the plot using multiple timelines. The Tomorrow War introduces the same old classic Grandfather Paradox because of what Dan and Muri do. The paradox kicks in when we ask the question, “so who killed the grandfather? Nobody?” then he must be alive only to be killed by his granddaughter… and so on. Here’s why, if a person goes back in time when her grandfather is a young boy and kills him, this would mean she is not ever born. This is one of the oldest adversaries for any time-travel story. No radars caught the alien ship landing because they got to Earth over a millennium ago. Eventually, in 2048, they clawed their way out because the ice around them melted, thanks to global warming. These creatures stayed in their cocoons for over a thousand years. The crew died on impact however, their cargo of the White Spikes survived. At some point in time before 946 A.D, an alien race crashlanded on Earth in Russia. The White Spikes are lab-grown mindless planet-cleansing weapons to whom living beings are only food.
