The world is stunned when a group of time travelers arrive from the year 2051 to deliver an urgent message: Thirty years in the future, mankind is losing a global war against a deadly alien species. The only hope for survival is for soldiers and civilians from the present to be transported to the future and join the fight. Among those recruited is high school teacher and family man Dan Forester. Determined to save the world for his young daughter, Dan teams up with a brilliant scientist and his estranged father in a desperate quest to rewrite the fate of the planet.

This thing doesn't just have regular plot holes or logical inconsistencies, it has scene hole, moment to moment holes, blink and you'll miss it holes. It is in fact entirely made of holes! My teenage cousin got frustrated while watching it and he likes robot dinosaurs! This might, by some stretch of imagination, be okay if it weren't clear - from so many self-important pop-up references to personal enterprise and industry, attempts at did-you-get-it political issues critique and just awkward piggybacking on all the current popular social issues from the pandemic, war on insert-noun, veterans, STEM, disenfranchised youth, patriarchy, feminism - that somebody thought they were making a CLEVER action flick. As is to be expected, these moments and attempts summed up also contradict and nullify each other. There once was a time when this couldn't even pass for public access cable, that time was before the reign of the tech mogul gnomes. It turns out that the only thing that kept nerds smart and hard working was the absence of social recognition.
