Astérix & Obélix: Mission Cleopatra is one of the greatest comedies ever made. Priceless, holds up even today.
This is trying to be a "modern" version of that, and it shows, because it has the most generic, overdone, "girl power" / "girl-focused" garbage you could imagine.
It's this generic modern cliche of the main characters not being the main characters in their own movies, in favor of "strong, diverse female characters". Interesting to see this goes beyond Disney and Netflix, but France too.
It sucks seeing this soulless generic modern cashcard trying to imitate one of the funniest, most original, most lighthearted comedies ever - Astérix & Obélix: Mission Cleopatra. Just watch that movie again, instead of this insufferable, generic, overdone trash.

I like the RakaRaka twins. I know them from Cold Ones, they seem fun, and cool, and they're OG youtubers, and as I understand, this is their first movie.
So I really wanna like this, and support it. The cinematography is great, the movie looks awesome, every camera angle is fantastic, the color grading, it's all absolutely professional, and even surpassing big budget movies in my opinion.
But like.... The main characters, and actors portraying them, are so cliched for a modern movie - a black woman and a weird lesbian/butch woman - that's such generic typecast overdone 2016+ cringe.
You'd think a low budget movie by youtubers will be more genuine, and will have better casting, and more charismatic, better characters. But nah - we're doing cliches, like Marvel and Disney, apparently.
Actually, all of the characters are written to be, and portrayed by unlikeable people. This doesn't really encourage me to watch the full movie, when I don't care about any of them.
The ending is kinda cool, in that it's actually a twist, while keeping the whole horror cliche "the story repeats" thing, but yeah - fresh take on it, and unexpected.
You guys are good at practical effects, we all know this, but make a comedy or something lighthearted and enjoyable, because this was not...

This movie makes the right choice to not take itself seriously whatsoever, yet the actors don't go too far into goofy acting, instead acting seriously, which only makes it better and funnier.
I enjoyed it. I wasn't sure about Cage's character at first, but I eventually liked him. Wasn't sure about the cringey generic diverse teenagers and their little backstory, but they were quickly interwoven with his, bringing some much needed, goofy context, to the goofy things happening, all suspiciously similar to FNAF.
Fun movie, recommended with a few beers, when you just want to unwind and be entertained.
My only gripes are that the animatronics aren't scary enough, they're clearly people in costumes, yet giving them a more creepy, robotic look and motion would've made things so much cooler, mixing horror with comedy far better... You can't just add clockwork sounds over clearly a guy in a costume moving exactly like a guy in a costume, and call it "a creepy robot".
But it's still okay, I assume the budget wasn't exactly huge.
You never know what to expect with Cage movies, it's usually bad, and cringe, but this was fun, entertaining.
I mean of course the evil things only go after the men and kill them brutally, while women either survive or conveniently get killed off screen, and are way more stunning and brave than the men, it's a 2020s American movie after all. But the rest is fine.
