I have given it 6 stars just because there were some good moments.

The rest were fast and confusing, with an antagonist that terrorized and killed people yet was at the end somewhat put on a pedastal.

Falcon, who constantly tried to reach out to her, and as a result let her get away more than once, a result causing more deaths.

Winter Solider, despite his 60+ years of training and experience, despite his reputation as the worlds most dangerous assassin, despite being a super soldier himself, was turned into a side gag that could not hold his own against a couple of newly super soldiers with some fighting skills.

The whole John walker, Captain America to US Agent arc was the only thing that saved this mess and had people ignoring its core problems.

I just dont get it. You spend money on actors, you spend money on CGI, but you give the interns a couple nights round the table with a few beers and pizza hashing out a script ? Thats what it feels like, and this isnt the only movie like this in the Pandemic era.

Movie premise is exciting in that i dont think its really been done before, and they do try to explain away the whys and cannots of their time travel, even if unconvincingly.

I have never left spoilers in a review before, but this one i just cannot help myself, but will keep it to a minimum.

But we have people getting recruited, whether they like it or not, to fight in the future against nasty rip-you-apart aliens. The people who recruit you, decide to take your average day normal people (typically 40 or over) give you a weeks training, then send in a small army of suburbanites who can barely hold a weapon, against an army of nasty teeth gnashing aliens that have already destroyed huge armies in the future (higher tech armies?).

That, apparently, is their plan to deal with this futuristic invasion. Instead of course of spending the next 30 years preparing for it, creating weapons and armies to deal with it when it hits, no, they send these ill prepared, ill equipped people hurtling through time. Its just annoying they could not come up with something more intelligent in this story.

The movie literally continues in the intelligence insulting category.

Like when Pratt is told he was bought to the future for a reason, to help develop a toxin that will kill all the aliens. Hes a high school biology teacher. You can have bought in the worlds foremost exports, but know, you bring a high school teacher.

Later they need an expert on volcanoes, the world depends on the accuracy of the information they need to get about this Volcano, so they ask this high school kid (from Pratts class) because he loves Volcanoes.

I could go on, but i would ruin the only pleasure you can get from this movie, to laugh at it (not in a good way).

I wonder if Chris Pratt, at any time whilst making this movie, thought to himself that this was a huge mistake to be in this movie.
