Overview

• The film holds a near-single-digit Rotten Tomatoes critics score (around 3%) and a 21% audience rating, placing it on the aggregator’s Worst Movies list.
• Critics say its device-screen “screenlife” presentation undermines the narrative scope and visual impact expected of a major sci-fi franchise.
• Reviewers singled out conspicuous Amazon product placements—from Prime Air drones to $1,000 gift cards—as shameless tech branding.
• Despite scathing reviews, viral memes and reaction GIFs have driven large-scale hate-watch viewership, pushing the title into Prime Video’s top spots.
• Amazon Studios, Universal Pictures and the film’s principal creatives have issued no substantive public response to the backlash.
