About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a high-stakes good-vs-evil apocalypse with strong performances, but Not for you if you dislike non-linear storytelling, prefer the 1994 The Stand, or want a more straightforward adaptation like The Mist.
Pros: apocalyptic premise; standout performances; modern touches | Cons: jarring timeline; miscast feeling; messy pacing
