Cold Storage

Blonde Joe Keery is the only good thing that came out of this film.

Liam Neeson’s monotonous performance, reflected exactly how I felt while watching this film. It starts with a solid premise: a dangerous, prehistoric fungus escaping a secret lab hidden under a storage facility. It’s not the most original hook, but it was interesting enough to grab my curiosity early on. The problem is the momentum. Instead of the tension ratcheting up toward a big, heart-pounding climax, the story just sort of... stays level. The stakes felt weirdly low for a movie about a potential extinction-level event. It’s a breezy, lighthearted watch that’s fun in the moment—mostly thanks to the chemistry between Joe Keery and Georgina Campbell—but it’s not something that’s going to stick with you.
