Fountain of Youth
-
This is a flick released on AppleTV+ about a year ago, and it will very much remind you of other modern treasure hunting movies like National Treasure and the Da Vinci Code. There’s lots of historical nuggets and plenty of action packed sequences as the main characters plot out their quest to find the Fountain of Youth.
I totally watched it because Eiza González was in it. When you’re smitten you’re smitten. I even watched it with my fiancé and she was like “she’s really pretty” and l was like “yeah she’s alright.” Lol
It’s directed by Guy Ritchie and the 2 main characters are siblings Luke and Charlotte Purdue, played by John Krasinski and Natalie Portman, and they are the kids of a famous treasure hunting father who passed away about a decade prior to the events of the movie. Eiza plays a seeming antagonist, but her role gets revealed later in the movie.
There are other protagonists on a team with the siblings, including a super rich guy who supplies the funding for the expedition, and Charlotte’s young son who is a music prodigy, and they all contribute to cracking clues that lead to the next step of the journey.
It’s an enjoyable watch. Quick paced and engaging with plenty of action scenes and even some fun nerdy stuff along the way.
I give it an A. Good flick for the family too. And yes, Eiza looks great and shows off some slick fighting moves in the flick.
