Apex (2026)

Pros - beautiful picture, landscapes, strong cast with Charlize Theron and Taron Edgerton, the latter convincing in the role of a psychopath. Cons - everything is too hackneyed and secondary, the plot sagged in places and it was a bit boring. A typical movie is not of the highest quality at one time.

Only Taron Edgerton is good, once again
As it is, everything is pretty boring and predictable.

Well, that's it. Beautiful nature, views, and... two blockheads roaming the woods. One without a knife (and don't tell me it was in a backpack 10 meters from the tent), and the other without a brain (in both senses).

Everything that happens in the film is so far-fetched and unnatural that it is almost impossible to watch it. Its only advantage is that it only runs for an hour and a half. Well, Charlize Theron's feet are nothing like that, just careful...

Good hunters respect their prey

Hmm, well, it's a completely normal streaming novelty.
Edgerton is terrifying with his bald head, jagged teeth and wild eyes.
I didn't fully understand the heroine Sasha, sorry, your loved one died in difficult extreme conditions, but she came to her senses and six months later she again dragged herself alone to seek adventures along impassable routes, only now she's all alone.
Well, this, although who can sort out these extremes, maybe it's worse than drugs🤔
Of course, it was clear that Charlize would get to the top when she dropped the maniac, but alarmingly without insurance)
Tom Cruise immediately came to mind with MI2

The acting ensemble dragged us to the top, but the main thing in an extreme vacation is to notice in time when the extreme ends and the PDC begins.

You believe Ejik.
Pop Theron too.
Nature is a credit.

I liked it, the nature is beautiful, generally cheerful + acting

In general, there are already many films with the plot "mountain girl-homicidal maniac". Netflix just added a bit of rafting and Theron's star cast/Edgerton/Bana, having turned a low-budget budget into a few tens of millions of dollars). It's not a blockbuster, but to some extent we've achieved our goals and it's watchable.

It's a good movie. Beautifully and efficiently delivered. Plus, the acting is worthy of attention.

Okay, if they had admired Charlize's face less in the frame and paid a little more attention to the villain's origin story, it would have been just FIRE.
We all understand, she's Charlize Theron, but we could have cooled down and opened the arch of the bad guy better. When they showed the video of the family he killed, I thought they would show us the "hunt" itself, but he just followed her, imitating bird sounds. Well, OK.
I think 10-15 minutes could be added to the film, revealing more about the motives of the main villain. As it is, the feelings after the movie are blurred.
Interesting fact:
Theron learned rock climbing specifically for the film and starred in the vast majority of the scenes on the rocks without an understudy. She was taught the art of climbing by the legendary Beth Rodden, a rock climber known for extreme climbing (including the famous Meltdown crack in Yosemite).

Classic. If you like films of this kind, welcome. Everything is clear from the description. There is nothing unusual in the film, the beginning is a bit boring.
I've watched a lot of films on this subject that I can't appreciate, as I've seen it so many times.

I just love that. It's hackneyed, unrealistic, or stupid, but it got me hooked. I sat in suspense for almost the entire movie. Dragged in by a maniac and of course the nature, the places are gorgeous. It's clear that the movie is for one time, but it's not a pity to spend an hour and a half.

That's how much you need to love extreme recreation to go alone, and even to Australia, where literally every bug or spider wants to kill you.

I was waiting for the movie, of course, mostly because of Charlize Theron herself, and the subject matter always caught on.
In principle, the film does not give much new information and works well within the framework of a proven scheme about the victim and the hunt for her.

There's already self-repetition and predictable moments somewhere, but it hasn't been without some of its own tricks either.

Well, as it is: dynamics, beautiful locations and visuals, good actors – it's very suitable for one time.

Unfortunately, the film is weak. An actor playing a murderer, as far as I'm concerned, is overdoing it. There is no tension or sense of danger. It takes an hour and a half, but it gets tiring. And it doesn't seem so difficult to make a film at least "once a night" on such a topic and with these actors.

Edgerton is an unrealistically cool psychopath. He looks like McAvoy. And the movie is boring.

A big plus for the beautiful views. But the plot... It was clear from the first minutes that Theron would survive... But maybe if.... The movie won't be reshot anymore))

How well did the Chemical brothers - Go song fit in?

Ugh, I got such an alarm from this maniac and the whole situation at the beginning.
People don't give a fuck, I'll never understand those who crawl through mountains, dubious adrenaline

A movie about the dumbest fool in the world

I came to sing odes to Taron for this role. I'm used to seeing him in positive roles, but he turns out to be skillful and plays a psychopath, it gives me goosebumps. A really versatile actor, I admire.
The views are beautiful, the plot is primitive, but due to the beautiful pictures and good acting, it makes sense to watch.

An absolutely gorgeous boring, predictable plot.

There are some good moments in the film, but overall, it's pretty secondary and predictable. It's even a little boring in places. You can only watch it if you want to admire Charlize Theron and the views of nature.

It's a very passing film, it's all happened somewhere before, not exactly about that, but it's better to take a look at send help.

Neither is Charlize Theron herself.
The only cool thing in this movie is the moment with the maniac to the music from the speaker, that's it.
I understand that this is most likely an image, but expressing any emotion, be it delight, fear, surprise, bewilderment, anger, pride, doom, with one facial expression is too much. It's just a straight line throughout the movie.
Plus, it's very strange that a serial killer who killed 20 victims turned out to be frivolous enough to believe that he would be helped.
In principle, I got into the heroine from the first minutes of the film with negative emotions, which she consolidated and could not convince me to sympathize with her or at least worry a little about her.
Oh, and the graphics, of course, there are no words, it's just creepy. Although nature is beautiful in places.

The movie from and to was dragged by Theron, who is him, not Charlize. Charlize, oddly enough for an actress of this level, did not have a convincing character who wants to empathize with. And here's Edgerton, my compliments. I discovered his talent back in the Black Bird series, but here he had a very difficult but well-practiced transformation and the most realistic presentation of a psycho on the edge. The scenes with the pump and the teeth were eerily played.
The nature is beautiful, although the graphics were very noticeable. The plot as a whole is predictable and not new in itself.

Nature is a thrill

And it came to me, well, honestly, the nature is gorgeous, the plot is quite intense, the psycho is creepy and Sharon is beautiful! 1.5 hours flew by unnoticeably.

For the sake of a funny meme with a dancing killer, I'm ready to watch this movie.

Taron drags this movie) to watch it once) 3.5/5

Well, yes, well, in such a jungle with mountains, it's easier to find a person. If you go 100 meters into the forest, you'll get lost, but here..

Taron fucking Edgerton, bravo, Black Bird, Smoke, and now The Top, I'm thrilled with his performance. Overall, it's a good movie, not a long one, although again, I agree that we could have taken a little time to reveal the antagonist. Strong 4/5

We need more mad Edgerton dancing to the Chemical Brothers🔥

Yes, it's as predictable as possible, yes, there are a lot of films with a similar plot, but you can watch it once, I liked it in principle, but if it weren't for the cast, I probably wouldn't have watched it.

Well, there was no wow, an ordinary movie with a boring ending, we could have made the ending more interesting.

The film is for a couple of times, there was not enough drama, it will do.

It reminded me of the plot of the game Until Down, there were a couple of creepy moments.

Yes, it looks hard when you try to imagine it in real life: to go to an unknown place, to meet men in the forest who would hide her alone, then rummage along an unknown river, then spend the night in an unknown forest in a tent))) without fear. Kringe. I only looked because of the memes, I didn't have to look any further.

Funny movie
Nice landscapes
I wonder what the psychopath was hoping for when he agreed to climb to the top, it was clear that she would throw him off
I liked the movie, I watched it in one go

the actors are good, but the plot is simple. It 's not bad for a mass audience . 💯

The plot is as old as the world, but the acting is top notch. Taron Edgerton did a great job playing a psycho, you just believe him. And Charlize is just awesome. I saw a video of her getting ready to shoot rock climbing, she's doing great. When I was crawling on goya without insurance, I couldn't breathe))

if you look at it as a story about a maniac... but he wasn't really revealed either. the movie is so-so.
and the last ascent of the mountain is generally funny, because it is not at all plausible.
