‘Fountain of Youth’, with Natalie Portman and John Krasinski, premieres on Apple TV+

Today, Apple TV+ dropped one of its strongest candidates yet for an original franchise. Fountain of Youth, directed by Guy Ritchie and starring John Krasinski and Natalie Portman, is streaming now.

If you’re a National Treasure or Indiana Jones fan, you probably won’t want to miss this one.

Here’s Apple’s official synopsis:

A treasure-hunting mastermind (John Krasinski) assembles a team for a life-changing adventure. But to outwit and outrun threats at every turn, he’ll need someone even smarter than he is: his estranged sister (Natalie Portman).

The original script was developed by James Vanderbilt, known for his work on Zodiac and Independence Day: Resurgence.

Man... this was painful to watch. Forced myself through 2 hours and 5 minutes of no substance, an ill-fated attempt to cross between Indiana Jones & Last Crusade, National Treasure and some James Bond car chase. I like John Krasinski and Natalie Portman and their work in general, but this was a low point for their talent. Bad plot and script, mixed with other factors like weak director and cast.

The movie also stars Eiza González (Baby Driver, I Care a Lot), Domhnall Gleeson (Ex Machina, Star Wars: The Force Awakens), and Stanley Tucci (Conclave, Spotlight), and it sure looks like a fun weekend watch.

If you haven’t watched the trailer, here’s what to expect:
