The Tomorrow War was a pleasure... if a dumb pleasure. The flick probably wanted to be Looper or Edge Of Tomorrow; it ended up more Independence Day (itself ripping off Alien). I'd continue pretending I hadn't seen the movie at all, but I just now read a sequel is coming.
The biggest loose-end is the time paradox. The aliens are here; they are only destroyed thanks to information brought back from the bad timeline, which is no longer happening. Also known is that the time loop is possible... and so, therefore, is FtL.
Meanwhile aliens are carrying monsters as can wipe all macrofauna larger than a rabbit off a planet. The monsters are an evil; the aliens are evil by choice.
So are we going to get horrors from a deleted multiverse-possibility, like Langoliers? Are we going to ignore the whole timeloop theme?
I don't hold high hopes, either way. Independence Day had a sequel - remember that? and Stargate was going to have sequels; the books floating that idea were so awful they started over for "SG-1".
