An absolute cinematic disaster.

Searching for a safer habitat, the prehistoric Crood family discovers an idyllic, walled-in paradise that meets all of its needs. Unfortunately, they must also learn to live with the Bettermans -- a family that's a couple of steps above the Croods on the evolutionary ladder. As tensions between the new neighbors start to rise, a new threat soon propels both clans on an epic adventure that forces them to embrace their differences, draw strength from one another, and survive together.

The cinematography in The Croods: A New Age is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Director clearly thought The Croods: A New Age was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The Croods: A New Age actually is?

Rewatched The Croods: A New Age last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Hot Take: The Croods: A New Age's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Everyone praising the The Croods: A New Age performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
