The Apple TV+youth fountain has the same exact problem

This post contains a major Spoilers For Apple TV+”Youth Fountain”.

There is a good reason because we outperform stories about the lost treasure. The concept of a group of researchers (or one one, for this issue) to move from one idea to another to reveal narrow residues for a call time for human curiosity. There is also a feeling of adventure that mimics epic research, as the pop -up integrity of history and legend helps to pump fun into the hypothesis. Everything from Indiana Jones to the “National Treasure” follows this coordination that has been tested for timeWhere he calls for an invaluable artifact that is an adventure wandering in the globe and taking into account the final ownership.

Sometimes, these films succeed in attracting our attention even when you are on a sub-level or lack the essence- The Robert Lanjdon trilogy is a good example of these bitter standard puzzles That still has some pleasures to present. However, this is not the case with Gay Ricci “Youth Fountain”, the new treasure of Apple TV+who sees the excluded siblings Locke (John Krasinski) and Charlotte (Natalie Portman) embarking on an adventure around the world. The shown youth fountain is the clear MacGufin movie for the film, but it is very backward that the reasons that Luke or Charlotte are interested in are interested in their lives at risk to find such a legendary thing unconvincing.

Then there is the fact that “Fountain of Youth” is the chaos of Blander, which constantly depends on the high exhibition and the spirit of humor that revolves around it to produce its hypothesis. The worst part? There is no enjoyable enough to sit down to sit, as the most above movement sequences completely lack a sense of urgency. If there is an exchange of fire inside the decorated rooms in the Giza Great Pyramid, it is not exciting enough to stimulate suspense or suspense, what is it? This confusing absence of the most honest in the “Youth Fountain” from Richie, which forces us to ask about the reason why the film was unable to benefit from an old formula that (mostly) worked on titles of the similar quality over the years.

Each film is a lost treasure, regardless of the extent of events, a historical sub -text that constitutes these fictional landscapes. It is impossible to divorce lost treasure adventures from the topics of greed and looting, which prompted the speech about from These artifacts really belong. Of course, there are ways to raise such stories even without such socialized political contexts. The famous classic like “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre”, which makes its struggle over something common like gold, is brilliantly examined the greed and human instinct for lack of confidence. If we look at more modern examples, Even a spiral ball comedy like “The Lost City” effectively switch things By redefining the meaning of the legendary treasure, it tends to the emotional effects of such a rare discovery.

The “Youth Fountain” is completely free of such impulses, as if it was completely not interested in exploring the topics that ventures to go beyond Luke and Charlot the sermon or hunger that does not exceed the anti -power. We also don’t know next to the organization that wants to protect the fountain throughout the movie, except for some mysterious signal to Eiza González Esme, which has an important person (Stanley Tuchi) in the Vatican city. Doesn’t a mysterious secret society in charge of protecting the tremendous secret should seem more important in a film that revolves around the most common archaeological archaeological of man?

In many ways, “Fountain of Youth” subscribes to the same formed fabric as “Uncharted” from Sony, although it is Apple TV+ Original that should have been fun and new. “Uncharted” by Robin Fleisher is not only a bad adaptation to the permissible video game series, but also A painful year in its repetition of what makes Nathan Drake’s epic is very convincing. In more clear phrases, it is boring. The adaptation of the year 2022 is a two -hour adventure for the globe trade minus tense risks or unforgettable characters, as its tradition of Trops of the non -inspiring type is like the inactive movement groups.

This precise feeling applies to the “youth fountain”, but it does not fail in any counterpart of widely loved video games or by any existing traditions. It is an original story that reformulates every type of no meaning under the sun, but it still fails to pick up magic associated with treasure hunting.

Let’s talk about what Richie’s movie offers in abundance: the bad exhibition and prediction. The street dialogue does not help in things here, and we are forced to watch Luke Ramble about his father’s legacy during quarrels with his sister, who does not want a role in his loose adventures. However, we are reminded of repeatedly that Charlotte desires excitement secretly, as part of the puzzles leading to the fountain with enthusiasm. She needs this dangerous adventure that Luke needs in his team, as Charlotte passes through difficult divorce and was recently launched from her prominent function. While these motives serve their purpose well, they are written in an embarrassing dialogue over and over again. There are also some heavy alerts that are used through Luke visions, which do not serve a great purpose along with an individual patience test.

There is absolutely nothing in the reckless fun, even when it is full of gaps or logical fallacies. But “Fountain of Youth” wants to go out as an exciting and smart title, even when he does not participate in anything fun or smart throughout its operation. This is disappointing, because the story has every element to mix these tones together, with its historically rich places (such as the wonderful Austrian National Library) that act as strong settings for the story. Even when Owen Carver is from Domhnall Gleeson in the heart of the old pyramids, It was damaged to the recognition through his unintended greed (just like a character in the “Indiana Jones” privilege)There is no feeling of terror or wonder associated with these events. Everything It falls.

With the end of the movie, ESME and Luke hits new adventure beginnings, which may revolve around another historical artifact. Obviously, this moment is sowing seeds for potential completion, which undoubtedly needs a better understanding of what makes the lost treasure exciting and effective. If Greenlit is, then it has a talented group to work with it, as well as the possibility of shooting on incredible sites that can be well translated into parts of the mystery. I hope that the ongoing story will have enough self -subscription to explore any way to circumvent it.

The youth fountain is now flowing on Apple TV+.
