Review of the Fountain of Youth Fountain; Emily Blunt

AppleTV is shining with its serials these days; From “silo” and “separation” to the studio and the new series “The Killer Robot”. But the production of this platform as if they do whatever they do, they can’t reach the feet of its serials, and often do not get the right therapeutic of water; Like the Wolfs or Argylle and the Instigators. Fountain of Youth is the new film of this platform directed by Gai Richi. With projects such as “Mobland” and “The Gentlemen” who are constantly moving here and there, Richie is now without breathtaking content for different platforms; “The Young Springs” is more than the content that AppleTV has made to fill in its playlist and its name Richie. In the critique of “Young Springs”, I refer to the stereotypical story of the film, which most of its flaws go back.

Warning! There is a danger of the story in the film “Young Springs”.

Criticism of the movie “Young Springs”; Around the world in two hours

James Wendbilt, the author of the film, who also appears in his career, such as Zodiac, seized the opportunity in the “Youth Springs” and puts his family pedigree as an inspiration for the story. Of course, what I can say, the Wikipedia of the Vandarbill family in the story of “Young Springs” begins with a treasure hunter named Luke Purdue (John Crazinski). She forces her sister, Charlotte (Natalie Portman), to come on a journey to find a young fountain; A spring whose promise has come to all historical and religious cultures and books and can give the eternal life to its founder. The financial sponsor of this expensive adventure (Apple TV!) Is also a billion dollar named Owen Carver (Dammel Glycen), who has led him to legends and superstitions.

Treasure hunters go to the middle of the sea to find a painting from Ramrant to find it in the ship where the father of James Wendbilt (Alfred Quinn Vanderbill Sinier) is drowned at 7! Therefore, the author of “Young Springs” incorporates a historical point in the story that relates to Jaddabad himself and only helps to prolong the film’s time; Otherwise it would easily be removed from the story and didn’t lose anything!

Following the film, Charlotte constantly reminds Luk in the sister-Badder Bado Badoogo, which is in the middle of the divorce process and that his child’s custody is more important to him; That is, actually another useless story line to make the film longer! The challenge is resolved immediately with the billion -dollar capital of Owen, and Charlotte’s son joins his mother and uncle. Since there is no ancient treasure that does not have a uniformity to the Egyptian pyramids, in pursuing the family adventure of the Pordo, our feet will open to Austria and the Vatican and ultimately Egypt. I forgot to say that in the middle of a seductive woman (Isa Gonzalez) and an inappropriate police (Arian Maid) are also looking for Luke and the thieves of her artworks, which are always moving behind a few; Lest their intervention prevent the story of the story and Luke’s reached the youth fountain!

The group finally finds this young fountain in the bottom of the Giza Pyramids in Egypt, and it turns out that everyone drinks the water of life, this is equal to the death of the dearest people of his life. Therefore, Luke refuses to drink it, but Owen, who comes from water that is not even sick, drinks water with selfishness. As the seductive police and woman, the guardian of the spring comes from the water, Owen is caught deep in the pyramids for his greed and others flee healthy. Of course, during the two hours of the film, we will never even probably wait for Luke and his friends. With another promise of another adventure, Vandarbilt puts the basis for a sequel to the “Young Springs” that I hope will never be made.

A bad script has closed the actors

While mentioning the memoirs of the Vendorlett family in the film seems a bit selfish, this is virtually the only interesting thing to see. The screenplay that James Venderb has delivered to the cast is quite superficial and predictable and does not help the cast. While they are more expected from a film that holds names John Crazinsky, Natalie Portman and Stanley Tuchi, these actors are less pronounced than their usual.

The “Young Springs” has characters who even care about their own destiny, let alone the viewer. Luke is a champion who has virtually no motivation in the story and no threat to him during the film. Crazinski, who, in the role of archaeological who stepped on his father’s path, delivers his watered version of Nathan Drake of Uncharted. Like the champion of these Naughty Dogs, Luke Crazinsky has an adventure and joke, but none of his jokes are targeting. Unfortunately, Crazinski has not learned from someone like Tom Cruise that if you want to be an action star, you have to practice your run first!

Portman’s character is also put in the story to remind the viewer every five minutes; Even Isa Gonzalez, who is usually attractive in any film, has been forced to play the role of Gang in the “Youth Springs” whose relationship with Luke Crazinski is drier than the Sahara of Africa. Stanley Tuchi is found in only one scene in the Vatican to give the young fountain lock to Gonzalez. Of course, the script for Venderbelt is boring for the viewer, for his actors, who takes them to Bangkok, Vienna, and London, the more a vacation.

Guy Richie’s filmmaker has no brakes

The “Young Springs” is known where it has spent its $ 200 million budget The film has no special effects, and their quality is really good at the streaming platform. There are also chase and pellet action scenes in the film, as you expect from a Guy Richie movie, their directing is a reasonable standard; However, after several follow -up scenes, its tricks are repetitive. Richie starts the film with a long track from the Bangkok streets on the scooter and then reaches its market and airport. This follow -up rapidly becomes a trail into a train, but the film does not stop it and continues with another chase in London. Throughout the film, such action scenes are repeated, but none of the dangers to our heroes.

The AppleTV has specifically not spent on the appearance of the film, but the appearance is always low against a scriptwriting script. “Young Springs” is a movie that maneuvers on the stereotypes of the adventure genre; The Elecharte Treasure Element and the film “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” with the two main roles are reminiscent of Bernen Freezer and Rickel Weiss characters in “Mummy”, finding secret codes in antiquities that are “repetitive” and “Duplicate”. (Tomb Raider) We’ve seen it like it.

Finally the problem of the film is not a repetition or stereotypical (which is); The problem is that from every corner it is clear that the “Young Springs” was made without artistic taste, not even in the films “Indiana Jones”, but imitating Indiana Jones and will find a better version in the “Mummy” and “National Treasures”.

This lack of artistic taste has recently become a problem in Guy Richie’s works, whose name has become mostly branding. “The Young Springs”, like this series “Land of Miles” on the Paramount+The name Guy Richie, begins with an interesting assumption, but quickly takes a formula that has no trace of Richie’s peak days. With these repetitive scenarios and directing, it is time to take Guy Ritchie, find himself and his style, and return to the field with new ideas.
