Weeknight Watch

Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It's still drawing plenty of interest, but a lukewarm 6.0 out of 10 from audiences and a box office loss 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 anyone who wants a laugh, sci-fi fans and adventure fans. If you loved Serenity, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 38 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Made in 1968: an older pace and style.

In the far future, a highly sexual woman is tasked with finding and stopping the evil Durand-Durand. Along the way she encounters various unusual people.
