The Tomorrow War (2021)

Besides the first sentence, everything else you said is just assumptions and never explained in movie. You do realize that the moment they went to past that they created an alternate timeline, so the future they were being sent to fight technically wasn’t there own. The aliens would still attack them in future and they would have to do this over again if the timeline is linear like they portrayed here. It only would make sense if they just prepared the past instead of risking lives of people from the past which would alter their future worse.

What I said was ALL in the movie. And you’re assuming your version of a timeline theory is valid for this flick.

They DID prepare the past. All the changes the future ppl started by going back to the past (preparations, etc.) already HAD happened to them.

They had been busting their future butts trying to build a time machine that worked so they cd go back and warn their ancestors and start it all, so they wd at least have a better fighting chance of growing up and surviving (and time to discover the toxin)— and maybe find a way to get rid of the aliens in the past, hopefully before they multiplied and attacked.

It would all have happened over and over if Pratt and Dad hadn’t found the aliens’ source in the past and stopped it.
