AI has turn out to be inescapable today, with each app, search engine, and web browser overloading us with pop-ups of why their new AI enhancement/assistant/plagiarism machine is one thing we simply cannot dwell with out. In actuality, AI is being shoved down all of our throats as a result of a bunch of billionaire weirdos invested an insane amount of cash into it and desperately have to persuade us that they did not wager on a lemon. Our favourite films are already being butchered by AI, human beings are dropping their jobs to AI, and a totally AI-generated nightmare moonlighting as an “actress” is allegedly on the verge of legit company illustration.
The force-feeding of AI is an obnoxious intrusion at greatest, and giving folks AI-induced psychosis at worst. It would even be much more manageable if there weren’t already so many cases in fictional storytelling exploring the numerous methods AI goes to deliver concerning the finish of humanity. I imply, the “Terminator” franchise has spent over 40 years with six films, a live-action TV collection, and a incredible anime, all with the message “DO NOT TRUST THE ROBOTS!” for crying out loud.
If solely somebody from the longer term, perhaps somebody with the charisma of an actor like, say, Sam Rockwell, may come again to warn us of the hell that awaits if we turn out to be depending on AI. Well, the chance of that taking place is slim to none, however not less than we now have the return of Gore Verbinski along with his sci-fi apocalypse movie “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” to carry us over. We could also be a couple of months away from the tip of the yr, however 2026 already appears awfully promising if that is what’s approaching February 13, 2026.
New Gore Verbinski? Oh, we’re so again
Sam Rockwell performs Man From the Future, a person, effectively, claiming to be from the longer term who reveals up at Norm’s Restaurant in Los Angeles to recruit a ragtag group of unlikely heroes to assist him save the world from changing into his future — a self-described “nightmare apocalypse” — the place everyone seems to be despondent and fully glued to their VR headsets. Who’s becoming a member of him? Who’s prepared to save lots of the longer term? According to this new trailer, becoming a member of Rockwell on his mind-bending sci-fi journey is a stellar ensemble solid together with Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chaudhry, Tom Taylor, and Juno Temple. The revolution begins tonight certainly!
“Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” had its world premiere as a secret screening at Fantastic Fest 2025, the place /Film’s personal Rafael Motamayor was blessed by the film gods with the chance to test it out, and gave it an 8 out of 10. Verbinski hasn’t made a movie since 2016’s “A Cure for Wellness,” a creepy psychological thriller that marked his return to horror after franchise hits like the primary three “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies. But “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” appears like a zany good time and the precise sort of movie we’d like proper now. Maybe this time the anti-AI message will stick.
“Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” is due out in theaters on February 13, 2026.
