Review of The Rig

The Rig (2023– )
3/10
what a mess

Warning: Spoilers
Given the star power involved in this endeavor, I immediately thought "oh, this'll be good!" plus I usually enjoy a good disaster movie having grown up on the first forays into the genre in the 70's. Even campy disaster movies can be great fun just for the thrills of there-by-the-skin-of-my-teeth near death experiences they evoke.

But the truest disaster here was how much it devalued these stellar actors by making me wonder "what the heck were they thinking?"

Did NONE of them read the lazy script? The dialogue is brutal to have to listen to. It's so ridiculous, childish, tantrum throwing bs that it's actually comical, not worrisome. Not exactly what they were going for there, I'm sure.

Every other scene has every other actor flip-flopping on their attitude about what's happening and around and around they went.

Then throw in the most hateful character I've seen in a while and wow...just WOW! He's the main one I WANT to see die off and quickly, yet he's one of the survivors? Yah..no pleasure there.

This series had absolutely NO saving grace from start to finish. The ONLY reason I stuck it out was because I wanted to enjoy said death hateful person that never came.

Note to self: quit while ahead...turn this garbage off.
