On this edition of the The Global Film Show report, Editor-In-Chief Diego Andaluz gives his quick thoughts on Jungle Cruise. Joined by numerous global contributors, they’ll discuss their in-depth thoughts on the technical and thematic strengths and shortcomings of the film, among other notable highlights on an upcoming episode of the podcast.
A family on a tropical holiday discovers that the secluded beach where they are staying is somehow causing them to age rapidly, reducing their entire lives into a single day.
JUNGLE CRUISE is the cinematic epitome of mindless enjoyment. With engaging action sequences, idiosyncratic characters, and an expansive narrative throughline, it’ll please families and those looking for light escapist entertainment, but its generic beats and jumbled story result in an ultimately forgettable film.
– Diego Andaluz
Jungle Cruise is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, stars Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, and comes to theaters and Disney+ on July 30th.
