Fountain of Youth

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite its glossy production and some impressive set pieces, Fountain of Youth can't overcome a derivative and uninspired story that fails to capture the creativity of the countless action-adventure flicks it cribs from.

James Vanderbilt’s screenplay flashes some cheeky references (including one about a Vanderbilt) but there are no big surprises to be had here. Go to Full Review

Given all the elements involved, Fountain Of Youth should be a blast. That it isn’t is a real disappointment. Maybe best left buried. Go to Full Review

It makes you long for the treasure maps that didn't cross the continents but the peaks, ridges and valleys of the human soul. Go to Full Review
Ellen E Jones Observer (UK) Oct 8
Mission: physiologically impossible, more like. And it’s exactly the kind of preposterous showboating silliness that has made the Mission: Impossible films such fun over the years. Go to Full Review

This brings n amalgamation of previous ideas from other likeminded films together, stripss it of finesse, and homogenizes it into a film you’ll be wondering if you saw it already, even though it just came out. Go to Full Review

Pamela M @Cassandra88 17h I really really wanted to love this movie. It has a great cast, fun story, but...it just doesn't work. The lightning is poor, the dialogue is flat and acting stilted, although Donhall Gleason is enjoyable to watch and Thomas does a very good job, possibly the best of all. It's a pity because it should have worked. All the ingredients for an enjoyable fun film, but somebody switched off the oven too soon. See more Matthew W @MattWich83 4d Not breaking any boundaries with this one, but an easy to watch movie that was enjoyable. Don’t watch if you are looking for something absolutely original that you haven’t seen before. Do watch if you are looking for a lighthearted Indiana Jones meets da Vinci code story where you know the ending before it ends and are ok with that (I was) See more Melvin C @mellbells Jan 6 Definitely not winning any awards with this one, but it was fun to watch while home sick from work. Great cast. See more Rick S @JaxParroh Jan 5 Film is so dark that I see faces only in many of the scenes. This distracts heavily from the story. The humour doesn’t come across with many of the jokes. The story isn’t built up like it should be. Looks like they didn’t have time to build up the tension. For example when the kid figures out the notes they leave the room and come back in with the solution. Like a whole day of searching has gone missing until it turns out that the kid knows. Now it is just a wasted scene where he departs with his mum only to come back immediately and she’s ’back in the game’.. too bad. Don’t watch. See more M. E @M4Maroon Jan 1 I’m genuinely surprised by how bad this movie is. I actually created this account about 45 minutes into watching it, just so I could start reviewing films. I went in completely blind — I didn’t look it up beforehand. I simply saw it on Apple TV, noticed the cast and the fact that it was directed by Guy Ritchie, and assumed it would be a fun watch. Unfortunately, it isn’t. At least the first 45 minutes feel less like a proper film and more like an extended sketch or parody. The movie constantly shifts tone, trying to be humorous, action-packed, suspenseful, and occasionally serious — but instead of blending these elements, it collapses into something oddly goofy. The humor doesn’t land, the action lacks tension, and the seriousness never feels earned. The dominant impression throughout is that of watching one long, mildly boring, awkwardly paced sketch that overstays its welcome. I’m planning to give it another 15 minutes, but if nothing changes by the one-hour mark, I’m moving on. See more nicole e @Nic31 Jan 1 Good family adventure movie. See more Read all reviews
