    Lacking the creeping dread or psychological grip I was hoping for. Instead, it drifts, leaving me admiring the craft but feeling disconnected from the experience.

    ★★½

    Had all the potential for something special—an A-list cast, a visionary director, and weighty political undertones wrapped in a high-concept sci-fi premise. And yet, it all forms into something frustratingly hollow.

    So many fans seem to be enamored with the franchise's latest offerings. It's hard to understand why they can't see the fall from grace that's taking place. The self-referential humor that once felt fresh and witty now feels like a tired gimmick, and the violence has lost its impact and become more comical than scary.

     Overall it's a pale imitation of the franchise's earlier glory. As a true fan of the original, it's hard to watch it all fall apart like this.

    The ending was so hauntingly beautiful. I’m not even sure if that makes sense but it’s exactly how it made me feel. What an incredible experience.
