Heard lots of “Dead Reckoning-heads will like this one.” Apparently we liked Dead Reckoning for very different reasons. Barring one all-timer stunt piece, this is the franchise at its most indistinct and maybe most inessential.

“Working woman” is redundant, especially in a such a constrictive frame.

★★ 66

A chaotic, behemoth bore. In its most compelling moments, it captures in sound and image the cosmological sin of harnessing nature for slaughter, but the rest is plodding, dry, sub-Sorkin morality politics without enough insight or complexity to avoid hagiography.

2023

★★ 2

Conceptually fertile but emotionally and thematically vacant. It looks and sounds nice—Edwards is adept at capturing scale—but it has next to nothing to say about AI, and due to its shortcuts through nuance and blank-slate protagonist, even less to say about being human.
