Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It's still drawing plenty of interest, but a lukewarm 5.8 out of 10 from audiences held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for sci-fi fans and action fans. If you loved Alita: Battle Angel or The Last Starfighter, start here.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Epic and sweeping, at 2 hr 36 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 2 hr 36 min.
  • It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

When the titular antagonist of an action game takes on physical form, it's up to the game's less powerful protagonist to save the world.
