“What’s enjoyable is the fetishization of expertise, watching the weather wonk with an attitude flout all the back-slapping yahoos. There’s a lot of excellent acting in this movie. There’s also Brendan Fraser. His floundering turn as Eisenhower has got to be one of the most distractingly awful performances I’ve ever seen in an otherwise enjoyable film.” – Spliced Personality Substack, 06/04/2026
“There’s not a moment of behavior that does not beggar belief, with characters reacting so nonchalantly to mutilations, decapitations, made-up occult religions and mind control drugs, you’d assume such things were everyday occurrences for them. If I dared risk the wrath of Apple by spoiling some of these story points, you probably wouldn’t believe me. It’s that daft.” – WBUR’s Arts & Culture, 06/03/2026
