If you liked Castaway, you'll probably like this. In this post-apocalyptic story, "Wilson" the volleyball is now a robot. The difference is the robot speaks when Wilson couldn't. I did find the robot's voice to be grating and annoying, so that's a mark against it. Tom Hanks is great as usual. Alright overall.

Huh. So Taylor Sheridan (who I've loved in the past: Yellowstone and Wind River) writes a script that's B movie quality and casts an Oscar winner in the lead role, and we're supposed to all pretend that it's good when it's actually not? I'm sort of scratching my head at this one. There are some decent action sequences even though they're the kind action scenes that you make fun of with your fellow watchers while watching (which can be a fun form of moviewatching honestly). Angelina Jolie is very miscast as she looks quite frail and also a bit glamorous for me to believe she's a tough salt-of-the-earth smoke jumper.

This started so strong. Love that it was set in the 1980's. The sets, the costumes, the music, the feel. It was nice to see some of the actors from the original Haunting of series (which I liked). But it really started to drag in the middle of it, and then it got so boring and so nonsensical that I forced myself to finish it as background watching. I think a 5 is probably generous, but since I didn't watch the last few episodes with 100% attention, it feels unfair for me to dock it lower.
