Ok in my honest opinion, the movie was not the best, but to say that it was horrible or the worst movie in recent years is wildly dramatic. The movie is not great, but it is by no means bad. Itโs not something that I would recommend people if they are looking for a good watch, but itโs not so bad that I regret going to the theatre and watching it.
Iโm going to start this off by saying that practically 80-90% of the 1 star reviews are only rating this movie poorly because of the fact that it has 4 women at the forefront. Please if you have a brain, donโt listen to those comments. Now read what I have to say if h want a genuine review of the film.
The visuals? Great!
The music? Also great!
The characters and plot? Not so great!
The plot is very dragged out and can get pretty boring. Nothing interesting really happens until around 35-40min in if Iโm being honest. The plot also feels very generic and cliche which is such a disappointment because I feel as though the writers had so much to work with on this film. The characters are sort of interesting, but we donโt really get to know anything in particular about them besides one scene where everyone starts trauma dumping in a motel room. The script really was below average and not great. It had absolutely no nuance to it, which is why I donโt blame the actors. Not even Sydney Sweeney and Dakota Johnson could save this. The villain is not threatening at all. In fact his dialogue has to be the worst out of everyoneโs. He just says generic bad guy lines as if this were a kids movie. He doesnโt even put up a good fight in any of his interactions with the characters. Because of that, there was never any suspense in the movie. It didnโt feel like characters trying to survive an onslaught from a guy with superhuman powers. It felt like a joke tbh. None of the 3 main girls even get powers in this movie, it was all just a vision which we see at the very end. That was really annoying because I feel like they advertised that so much. At the end the main character, Cassie, all of a sudden becomes this really wise and knowledgeable person who knows tons of stuff about the future and she also goes blind. It was really random.
All in all, itโs not something I would recommend but please go see for yourself. I thought it was a pretty fun watch, especially due to the fact that you donโt have to take it seriously in any sense because itโs pretty unserious in and of itself.
