Vinicius M @Vini_Monteiro 2d Apex is a frustrating mix of intense adrenaline and lazy writing. It starts strong, promising a deep psychological journey fueled by grief, but quickly abandons it for a cliché-ridden survival plot in Australia. Charlize Theron’s phenomenal, physically exhausting performance carries the movie, compensating for a lifeless supporting cast and Eric Bana’s wasted cameo. Taron Egerton is chilling at first but soon devolves into a cartoonish caricature that ruins the gritty tone. While the hostile environment and brilliant sound design build great tension, the film's execution falters. Terrible CGI, incoherent shaky-cam action, and a script that lets the villain defy physics completely destroy the suspense. Coupled with dragging pacing and an anticlimactic ending, it’s a fractured thriller that only works if you turn off your brain for some mindless, straightforward entertainment. See more Xine F @XineFury 3d Not bad. Decent amounts of tension. Good villain, lots of scary moments. But it didn't leave much of an impression on me. See more Thomas S @RT32124688 3d Generic af. I slept. See more Keith B. @DucksFlyTogether 6d Seems like a movie that was sloppily written by AI. See more Li C @ThePlucker Jun 25 Charlize Theron has a lethal calling card and a loyal fan base. Whatever film she is in, I will watch because I know she commits to her characters 1000% (not to mention her own choreography and stunts). Even Taron Edgerton. Still, the two of their characters, as treacherous and as tough as the Australian outback that they find themselves in, cannot hold the film together long enough for it to feel like falling over the edge. I was engaged 2 quarters of the way …then it became more of a character study and I wasn’t watching because I felt engrossed by it. I was watching to see how and when it’ll end. See more Mike T @WeAreTheMovieGuys Jun 24 "Apex" is a very strange film to critique. It is very much a by the numbers thriller that we have seen done many times before. The cinematography and filming style is very well done. Taron Egerton puts in a damn good performance & is completely unhinged. He definitely embraces the crazy & looks like he is having a ball with this role. He steals the film from Charlize. It does some things well here and there throughout but I felt the ending was very anti climatic. No big show down with excitement and everything just kind of ends rather abruptly. All in all, it's a decent watch but I walked away from it with not much to say after it was over. It's nothing that's going to blow your socks off. See more Read all reviews
