Netflix seems to have not learned from its past failures and has once again invested a huge sum in a film that, according to critics, is barely watchable. The sci-fi new film The Passage, an adaptation of the visually captivating comic book by Simon Stalenhag, promised an epic spectacle about a dystopian future and the fight between humans and machines. And so far, it doesn't look like it will get good reviews. The film, whose budget exceeded $300 million, will arrive on Netflix this week. The plot follows Michelle (Millie Bobby Brown), who, under the supervision of a former soldier (Chris Pratt), sets out to find her brother, who allegedly controls a robot with special abilities, in the destroyed world of the alternative 90s.

While the original enchanted with great art, the film, according to critics, offers nothing but mediocre visuals. No depth, no originality. Just stereotypes and a predictable plot. The film is directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, the creators of the successful Avengers: Endgame and Infinity War. However, bad luck has been on their heels since these two films. Their films Cherry and The Gray Man ended up in the dustbin of history, and Passage will apparently follow suit. Passage currently holds only 23% positive reviews, and critics agree that it is a soulless action spectacle that brings nothing new. Some compare it to the latest Marvel films, which are drowning in nekoneYou will be able to make the picture yourself on March 14th.
I don't know about the critics, but we really liked the movie, it's funny, it's exciting, I think the movie is worth watching and I recommend it.
It's probably because you're such a fan of Netflix that you'd forgive it even if it only broadcasts monoscope. ProOtherwise this movie is bad in every way.
Agree with the reviews. Two hours that no one will give you back. In general, movies are getting worse and worse. If you go back to the 90s, 00s, there were countless hits and cult films every year. Now the situation is terrifying.
It's a cliché. But what makes movies interesting these days. We've gotten used to brutal digital visuals and it's not surprising, then there's the plot. A good plot can disappear behind the visuals or remain completely misunderstood (e.g. the current Micky17). So what do these people with popcorn in their mouths actually want? The studios have it really hard. On the other hand, they have themselves to blame. I miss brutal crime (Seven) or action movies where you root for a character from start to finish (Fugitive with H. Ford). It's a shame these movies, which don't have to be overloaded with expensive digital visuals, are simply not made anymore. 300 million for a movie. That's absolute bullshit. Just my opinion. Thank you
We turned it off after 10 minutes.. 👎🏻
