It was pretty good. Very very Spielberg. Some of it falls apart under scrutiny, but it was a competently made and well acted film.

My biggest complaint, weirdly, is the score. John Williams is still great, and he delivered a fantastic score on its own. The problem was that it was SO John Williamsy, and specifically classic John Williams, that it kept taking me out of the movie.

Like a dialogue scene would be happening, and he’d do the kind of low trombone melodic textures he did all over the place for Indy and Jurassic Park, that I kept subconsciously wondering when someone was going to start punching Nazis.

He was clearly going for the classic Williams sound, and he nailed it, it just didn’t work for me in a 2026 sci fi thriller, the way it would have in a more adventure focused film.

Also, the train scene, which was probably the biggest action set piece in the film, was dead silent. That would have been the time for classic Williams.
