65 (2023)
65 offers an intriguing premise—an astronaut, played by Adam Driver, crash-lands on Earth 65 million years ago, in the age of dinosaurs. The film mixes sci-fi and survival horror as the protagonist, alongside a young girl (played by Ariana Greenblatt), must navigate a dangerous, prehistoric world filled with deadly creatures.
The strength of the film lies in its visual effects, with stunning depictions of both the dinosaurs and the lush, perilous environment. The suspenseful, action-packed moments keep the tension high, with Driver delivering a strong performance as a man struggling to survive and protect the girl. The dynamic between the two characters adds an emotional core to the story.
However, while the concept is exciting, the plot feels somewhat predictable and lacks depth in character development.
The film doesn’t fully explore the potential of its unique premise, leaving a sense of untapped potential. Some of the dialogue and pacing feel a bit uneven, which detracts from the overall experience.
