Individual Commentary:
Wesley Lovell (WL): The trailer is so engaging that it definitely looks like one hell of an adventure. Peter J. Patrick (PP): This showcase for Michelle Yeoh combining her grand dame and martial arts personas could be a career highpoint. Thomas LaTourette (TL): I have no idea exactly what the movie will be, but it looks fascinating, with a well-used Michelle Yeoh.

Individual Commentary:
Wesley Lovell (WL): See it for Naomi Watts’ performance if nothing else. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Overly familiar rescue in the wild melodrama might be effective for those unfamiliar with the genre. Thomas LaTourette (TL): There are many similar themed movies of people trying to escape nature’s fury, and while the trailer started out interesting I was not as excited by the end.

Individual Commentary:
Wesley Lovell (WL): A great cast, but an inauspicious premise make this a minor consideration. Peter J. Patrick (PP): 2021 UK release went nowhere – even Olivia Colman and Glenda Jackson in cameos couldn’t save it. Thomas LaTourette (TL): Beautiful gowns on British stars may not a movie make, though critics seem to enjoy it. The trailer was just a little slow paced for me.

Individual Commentary:
Wesley Lovell (WL): The trailer just can’t give enough details to make it look like something different. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Horror film looks more subtle than most these days which could help to make it something worth your time. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The trailer does not produce much horror or dread, which is not great for a film aiming for that crowd.
