FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH, a new American Heist movie shot by Guy Ritchie, has done very well on streaming charts, despite receiving less-than-favorable reviews from critics. The movie has secured the number two spot on Apple TV+ with a decent cast supporting it. With Natalie Portman, John Krasinski taking leading roles, the movie has certainly attracted a good following. In the movie, the plot follows two siblings who steal paintings and travel the globe as they try to search for the FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.
The Movie is Rising on the Streaming Charts
The movie has a lot of star power, and it’s rising quickly on the streaming charts. It’s also been met with a warm reception from viewers. You can now stream the movie on Apple TV+, with the film having several impressive set pieces and exciting action sequences. The exciting visuals help to add to the film’s grandeur, with great chemistry between Natalie Portman and John Krasinski. Overall, it’s certainly a fun movie with a lot to offer.
The one downside to the film highlighted by critics is that the story isn’t exactly original. However, at the same time, it follows the tried-and-tested formula of a good action movie. There’s tension, a seemingly impossible mission, a stellar cast, and plenty of plot twists, so if you go into the movie expecting this, then you won’t be disappointed.
The movie also patches in a lot of CGI to try and add to the overall presence of the movie, with a lot of effort made to showcase the wonders of Egypt, but also to add a new and interesting slant that helped to add to the adventure-heist theme of the movie.
With supporting cast members including Eiza Gonzalez and Laz Alonso, it’s got all the makings of a good heist movie, even if the storyline may not be the most original.
Filming took Place at a Number of Archeological Sites
The filmmaker chose a number of locations to film his latest movie. Known for his gripping storylines, he decided to shoot most of it in Egypt as it has a rich historical heritage. This movie also marks another milestone for Egypt as a whole, as it is quickly becoming a hub for filmmakers across the world. The Egyptian government has actively been promoting cultural sites to filmmakers, as well as offering competitive incentives to attract major productions.
This is helping to put a spotlight on Egypt in modern media, but movies aren’t the only thing contributing to its growing reputation. The Media Production City in Cairo has been responsible for supplying the Arab world with content for years. Documentaries about Ancient Egypt are also being continually released by the BBC and other production companies. Gaming and iGaming have also utilized the theme, and there are now several Egyptian-themed online slots that you can play online. They include Eye of Horus: The Golden Tablet, King’s Mystery, and Cleopatra, all of which highlight how Ancient Egypt continues to appear in popular culture.
With such a continued focus on Egypt, it’s safe to say that interest in the theme is not slowing down, and this is being reflected in the country’s active investment in the movie sector as a whole.
