I have seen Hallmark movies with better scripts.

Glenn Powell could have chemistry with a newel post. Love this guy.

Sweeney is extremely wooden despite being absolutely adorable and afaik heavily involved with the production of this film? Girl, get it together! Audiences seem to really like her, as evidenced by this film's success, but where is the charisma here? She's great in the white lotus, handmaids tale, even the terrible spiderwoman film. Confused why she is so stiff here.

Overall, garbage script. I rate films on a scale of zero to one and I think I'm very generous with giving, most, films a one. This would get a zero.

For our Prometheus watchers, it actually kinda helps provide context for the movie if you watch the CinemaSins video - also the Prometheus School of Running Away From Things!

Also, this is your first notice that tomorrow (well, today - SUNDAY 8/18) that we will be hosting a special presentation of Alien: Covenant on Hulu at 9 PM ET. Please join us as we see if Danny McBride survives. IDK why we decided that would be our main goal, but hey.

prettymorning27So I was wrong about the date for Civil War (or else it was pushed back to September 14 idk) so we have to think of something else to watch tonight sorry!

Have we ever seen Mad Max Fury Road? I know Furiosa is on max now but I never finished fury road >.> Or we can do more Glonn Powoll and watch Hit Man.

I know it has Ryan Reynolds, but if we wanted more space horror, Life is on Netflix.

We also haven't seen Everything Everywhere All At Once, but that switched streamers this month and idk where it is right now.

and i know watchmen and detective pikachu have been mentioned and they're both on Max haha.

Pearl is on Netflix now, as is Muriel's Wedding (there is no connection there besides Netflix LOL)
