With You in the Future 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

Elena (Sandra Echeverría) and Carlos (Michel Brown) are getting divorced. They are both very happy to finally be free of each other, until they remember how Cupid made a mistake in bringing them together and then Cupid magically appears taking them back to the night they met. The Spanish-language romantic comedy starts off fast and funny and then turns weirdly horrifying.

The first half makes good use of time travel. The older characters come face to face with their younger selves, they can talk to them and interact with them. For them, it's simple, they just have to avoid falling in love. The younger duo is inherently drawn to each other and brings a very light and whimsical romance to the fun and funny premise.

The more we try to stop the younger Elena and Carlos from falling in love, the more the movie becomes too extreme. The older Elena, out of nowhere, decides she needs a gun, so she finds a pistol. The climactic scene that represents the turning point of the film is supposed to be funny (I think), but it involves terrorizing young Carlos by threatening to kill him, and it gets so serious that older Carlos thinks he's about to get shot. And that's when the whole movie falls apart.

Carlos is a lawyer and Elena is a musician. At first, the characters are simplistic, which fits the time-travel rom-com scheme. He doesn't like her music, she doesn't like that he's not funny anymore. Out of nowhere, past the halfway point of the film, a baffling backstory is added to these characters. Now the movie wants to be about grief and depression while playing up its time-travel comedy. It doesn't work; the tonal shifts in genre are baffling at best and make everything about the movie off-putting.

While the older couple is battling their demons (and almost literally so), the younger couple is still trying to keep the romance light. It would almost work if Carlos hadn't been robbed at gunpoint. So many odd choices for such a short movie.

When Future With You is a light-hearted romantic comedy, it's fun, funny, and enjoyable. When it decides to become a drama about grief and tragedy in the middle of a time-travel romantic comedy, it becomes unpleasant and that fun movie at the beginning goes out the window.

A Minecraft Movie 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

If you were to throw a bucket in Hollywood today, you could easily find a dozen video game adaptations in development, either as TV series or movies. They're all vying for the same thing: critical acclaim, huge box office revenue, or a sudden surge in streaming subscribers thanks to established fandoms. But it's a long shot: Will they become a "Borderlands" movie flop or a "Last of Us" hit? Next month, Legendary Entertainment, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Microsoft are going for box office gold with a different kind of game-to-movie adaptation: "A Minecraft Movie."

The Acolyte 2024 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

There are three main types of Star Wars stories. There's the kind where you write whatever you want and call it Star Wars, common in the many novels published in the 1990s. There's the kind where you recycle existing Star Wars stories and make them familiar; this has been the primary way of doing things at Disney. But finally, there are the stories that enthusiastically use Star Wars as a setting to create something new. There have been several novels that fit that profile, as did the first season of Andor, and now, four episodes in, it looks like the new Star Wars series The Acolyte, set a century before the movies, also fits the bill. in that category. . The Acolyte centers on a pair of twins, Osha and Mae (both played by Amandla Stenberg). The girls were raised by an unaffiliated coven of Force users, but despite living outside the Republic, the Jedi, including Carrie-Ann Moss's Indara, stuck their noses into these women's affairs, leading to the disaster. As a resu...
