Overview
- The dystopian action thriller opened in theaters on November 14 and runs 133 minutes.
- Critics widely praise Wright’s kinetic world-building, production design and propulsive set pieces.
- Common critiques cite a weaker second half, uneven pacing and thin supporting characters.
- Wright positions the film as a fresh adaptation of Stephen King’s novel rather than a remake, including a wry nod to the 1987 movie with Schwarzenegger’s face on in-world currency.
- There is no mid- or post-credits scene, and a Paramount+ debut is expected after a typical 30–45 day theatrical window.
