I thought the movie was fun in 4D. The plot was quite silly but the action made up for it. The biggest gripe is the motivation for the main villain going so far out of his way to get back the evidence that shows he and his goons are criminals when law enforcement already knows that. Trump wouldn't even go that far to recover the pee pee tape, if it existed.

There were snow effects (some kind of bubbly substance), smoke, wind, scents, and, of course, tons of movement, punches, jabs, etc. in the seats.

Saw it tonight. It was big and dumb, but I knew that going in. I was entertained for a couple of hours, but will definitely not go out of my way to ever watch it again.

Just saw this via HBO free preview week and while I usually enjoy Dwayne Johnson movies, this was pretty boring.

While watching this, I kept thinking that he was being highly under utilized. He barely kicked anyone’s ass like he usually does. It reminded me of watching Central Intelligence, another movie where Johnson was under utilized. Only after finishing the movie did I realize it’s the same director.



And Hollywood, stop ripping off Enter the Dragon. It’s been redone so many times, it’s just a ripoff at this point.
