Verdict on Redux Redux
Recap
The film chronicles a mourning mother’s journey across various realities, seeking vengeance against the individual responsible for her child’s death. Despite traversing numerous realms, the most recent one presents complications that may reveal flaws in her ongoing struggle.
Best Parts
In movies that explore the theme of traveling between parallel universes, there’s always an intriguing dialogue about how it’s handled. This innovative approach not only introduces a concept but also presents a plot for retaliation against someone who caused significant harm. Thankfully, it avoids delving too deeply into the scientific explanations, which is a definite advantage. Moreover, it spices up the revenge theme with a thrilling sci-fi angle by suggesting eliminating a murderer across all realities. The acting, particularly Michaela McManus’s performance, receives high praise.
Final Thoughts – Redux Redux brings a fresh complex spin on the revenge thriller.
