I wanted to give this five stars, but the bianca character drags down what could have been an incredible series. She seems like she's excellent at everything to the point we're it feels silly and unrealistic. She has no remorse for the deaths she is responsible for, all her interactions feel fake, non empathetic or passive aggressive. Almost bullying at times. Other people are put down to make her look good. She has to juggle a job and family and the writers try to give her this more empathetic side but all of it falls flat and you can't help but hate her. And spoilers The ending is almost satisfying, which I doubt is what the writers intended. Aside from that, it does a great job of keeping you on the edge of your seat. Eddie redmayne is superb. Tension building is great. Would still recommend.

It's so painfully bad. Ryan Reynolds is not funny at all. The plot is painfully generic. There are no stakes. It lacks passion. It will make money though. So in this sense it's successful

A missed opportunity. I loved the concept and it's originality. Robert Pattinson's performance was fantastic. However... Instead of exploring more interesting themes such as ethics in science, the immense mental toll of dying over and over, or simply the mental and physical challenges of living in a spaceship halfway across the universe, or the feasibility of humans becoming an interplanetary species(all fascinating themes), they decide to make a cheap, cringeworthy, surface level political commentary. marshall represents a trumpian figure. He is cartoonishly evil and self absorbed. The entire film centers around him and it becomes tiring when there are an infinite number of better directions you can go. Inevitably there is a goodie vs baddie showdown. Need I tell you what happens next. This is the biggest fault of this film BY FAR. However it also suffers from some poor/inconsistent character writing. Cringey dialogue and humor that doesn't land. A missed opportunity indeed. Just imagine what this could have done in the hands of Christopher Nolan.

I found the plot boring, predictable and unimaginative. The characters forgettable. The supposed 'humour', wasn't funny. I genuinely don't understand the hype for this film.

The emotional depth in this movies was surprising to see, but also what made it such a great movie. Some really sad moments in the story. Amazingly shot, great acting, historically accurate. tbh i'm shocked that it is only 49% on rotten tomatoes. I felt that this movie enhanced upon this part in the book. It adeed to the original while staying true to it. The characters and plot were more complex and interesting. If you are a casual movie goer I can assure you that you will enjoy the movie.

Eleanor was selfish. Indiana saved her life multiple times and despite this she stayed the same. The movie portrayed her character as an all-round untrustworthy and terrible person, yet they still tried to sell her as one of the good-guys. She lied and betrayed indie continuously, but still indy, for some reason, trusted her, even though she was clearly untrustworthy. Okay, she did go back for Indiana near the climax of the film, but once again managed to show her selfishness. Despite the fact that indiana wanted to stay in ancient rome, around the civilization that he had loved and studies for his entire career she instead punches him in the face and brings him back to 1969. Here they not only reiterated Eleanor's character, but also (in my opinion) missed out on a great opportunity to tie up the indiana jones franchise nicely. More than this they tried to make her character funny but fell flat in a big way. I also believe that the eleanor-indy combo didn't work as well as other combinations in the older films. In the originals indies sidekicks were usually just normal people, who were reasonably incompetent in adventures. They make the female companion rival indy in skill and competency which may fit with the modern feminist narrative, but didn't have the same comedic or entertainment value. It just felt it was mssing something. They also failed in developing the young boy's character. Didn't know much about him, was boring, didn't really add much etc. Like I mentioned earlier the ending was dissappointing. I really felt like if he had stayed in syracuse it would have been a nice ending to the franchise. Instead eleanor punches him??? against his wish and takes him back. Despite these criticisms, this was a fun action-packed adventure that I really enjoyed. The opening scene was awesome, comparable to some of the most creative and suspenseful scenes in the indiana jones franchise. This wasn't the only great action scene in the movie either. It started very strongly. Mads mikkelson was awesome. Such a great actor, and was so well written. harrison ford I also loved like always. Was kind of a grumpy old man but in an amusing way. Time went by fast watching this film. Engaged to the end. edit - I just realised she's called helena lol
