UNTIL now Adam Driver has had one of the most impressive acting resumes in recent years.
Since 2019 he has appeared in The Report, The Dead Don’t Die, Marriage Story, two Star Wars entries, House of Gucci, The Last Duel, White Noise and Annette.
But every streak has to end some time and Driver’s ends with 65.
This sci-fi actioner isn’t a terrible film; it’s just not up to the standard on his recent output.
Actually, it’s a pretty average effort that loses steam around half-way and limps to the end while asking the audience to suspend disbelief to an extraordinary degree.
The script is co-written by the same team that gave us A Quiet Place I and II which should be a good omen.
But they lazily use the same premise of needing to keep quiet to avoid the hunters which in this case are dinosaurs instead of aliens.
Driver and Ariana Greenblatt.
Plays a pilot whose ship crashes on an unknown planet, which turns out to be Earth 65 million years ago.
How is never properly explained along with where Driver’s character has emanated from or who he is neither surprised or perturbed by the bizarre circumstances.
He and another survivor, a young girl named Koa, must traverse the dangerous landscape and fight off a myriad of dinosaur types to find an abandoned ship.
How in the hell two humans survive attacks from massive dinosaurs is just too far a stretch for this reviewer.
