What to Expect When You Watch
It runs about 131 minutes and it leans into its action/adventure roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.

Why It Stands Out
Fans of action, adventure and sci-fi have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Movies’s other originals, a 7.9/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
