The latest original feature of Apple TV Plus is the “Fountain of Youth”, a new cow Richie movie in which John Crossesky and Natalie Portman have been seen playing a stranger in search of a titlear article.
Ever since I saw the first trailer, I have been a movie that I have a keen eye. I love adventure movie classic like “The Mummy” and “Indiana Jones”, the “Youth Fountain” became an expected watch from the beginning of the summer movie.
Prior to its release at the Apple Streaming Service yesterday (Friday, May 23), I had to attend a preview screening to see what was in this globe troting adventure. What do I have to say about the experience
Will not be able to find ‘Youth Fountains’
The story follows the transit treasurer Hunter Luke Prado (John Crossesky). At this time, he has been bankrupt by Owen Carver (Domnal Gleeson), who wants to find a fountain of youth.
After spending some time to collect the indications at the fountain location, he made his sister, Art Curator Charlotte (Natalie Portman), in search.
With Luke staff (and Owen’s money), the pair left in search of aquatic reservoir, and then will be familiar with any fans of films like “Indiana Jones,” “National Treasury,” “Mimi” and more. There is danger, hot pursuit, escape from slippery, ancient antiques, some impressive sets and high stakes… and it Should There is an absolute explosion.
In this previous paragraph, the word “should” is emphasized, though, “the fountain of youth” is rejected by the poor writing.
Richie got proven action chips, and he still comes here in some major seat money. Highlights, including mopped chase in the streets of Bangkok that open the film, or run with one hand with one hand and at least one clip from the party within a grand library.
The problem is, whenever the action stops, we are suffering from writing problems. The script is in accordance with the nature of the genre, but the dialogue relies solely on clutches and eyes roll, clear copes, bad gigs and confused metaphors.
Even worse, it is also suffering from repetition and Ton Of the exposure. Character, loudly, just tell you Okay What are they doing and when they are doing it, or restore that they need to do more than once. Was the same Designed Looking in the background, when you’re doing something else.
There are more problems. Performance feels a little less for one, and seemingly no real reason for no real reason, some meaningless slow moving has been thrown, but poor writing is easily the only biggest sign against the “youth fountain”.
This is also a real shame, because I was really looking forward to seeing it, and I wanted to be able to give the movie a shining recommendation. But after seeing it? I can’t easily do.
Result: ‘Youth Fountains’ is a big reduction
“Youth Fountain”, clearly, is not the worst movie in the world. I’ve done a lot of streams. It is just that it is one of the best films on the service besides Apple TV, and I’m not surprised that it has completely left theaters.
If you are at a loss to see the weekend, you are a boy of Richie and you think you will be kicked by a very stupid victim of the treasury, the “fountain of youth” will still be able to add to your watch list.
But if you were hoping for a bold, magnificent adventure flick as I was, check your expectations: Ritchie’s latest feature is not.
