This movie parodies the Year 2000 Problem, Y2K, which was the worldwide fear that all electronics would cease to work at midnight on Dec. 31, 1999. Dates were read in double digits, ‘99 as 1999, and the belief was that when midnight hit and the date would turn ‘00, the computers would believe that it was 1900 and lose all of their data and stop working. “Y2K” portrays a world where technology rebels due to a computer bug and attempts to take over humanity.

“Captain America: Brave New World” is a suitable action flick with good performances and effects, however it fails to live up to any high expectations. It's not a very biting political commentary, its twist is given away in the trailer, it does little to help the MCU’s struggling momentum and it's a pretty par for the course for a superhero movie. It almost feels like the first draft or the shadow of a much better movie which probably owes itself to the film's extensive reshoots. When push comes to shove, I'd recommend this movie for hardcore MCU fans, but for the average moviegoer I think it’s safe to ignore.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Dalton is the character to which a nebulous conflict of self-destruction, anxiety and focused determination belongs in this reinterpretation of the cult classic from 1989. Released almost exclusively on Prime Video on March 21, “Road House” was directed by Doug Liman and tells a similarly themed yet excessively self-conscious form of that narrative.
