Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film was made by Paramount Pictures for a theatrical release but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Paramount sold the film to Amazon Prime Video for $200 million.
- GoofsThe following goof was marked as incorrect: "The soldiers from 2051 come from a time when 99.99% of the human population is dead and the war is nearly lost. Nevertheless, the governments from the present devote tremendous resources to sending millions of drafted civilians to 2051 to die almost certain deaths. There is no discussion of using the knowledge from the future to fight the impending war differently and prevent human extinction. Only at the end does it seem to occur to anyone to send the toxin back in time to change the future." Reason for it being incorrect was said to be: "However, it is possible to develop the toxin only with a female specimen available, i.e. in the future, and it cannot be possible to bring her back in the present for studies." Still, this does not explain why no effort was taken in 2022 to use knowledge from 2051 to alter the course of history.

Featured review
Nothing new in Denmark
Although it's way better than most of stuff this year, at least by not parading to be "a new epic by the dude that did the previous epic noone cares about". But it still pains from western mediocrity and social rot that steers the movie makers to care more about how many races are represented and how many genders and yadada. If they cared more about storytelling, this could've actually be a great movie. I gave it a 6 because it's better than the previous load that includes time travel, where people made a movie "with a twist" that they didn't know how to write well, they just built screens around the idea - filled with CG. Come to CG, this movie has it right in a way, it's not too much and it's not looking completely detached from physics. But in the end, it's just mediocre. Shooting at rudimentary feelings, funny black guy, lonely strong black guy, white guy who cares for family... This is why, when I want to watch a proper movie, I watch things made east of UK (UK included). Can the NA movie industry stop recycling and revolving around USA social issues, or just cease to exist? South American soap operas are damn kings in writing a story compared to previous years of North American movies.
