This movie isn’t as bad as people are making it sound. They are drawing comparisons to Midsommar and Blink Twice, movies that I’m not crazy about that I gave 2 1/2 stars to each when they came out.

And roar it does, because there is a tremendous amount of pain and redemption in this movie. In an interview with The Guardian director Alejandro G Inarritu describes this film as a "spiritual drama, a story of survival and transcendence". I think that in general that is the biggest takeaway once you complete the almost 3…
