As a movie fan, I’ve noticed something interesting about what people watch on streaming services. It seems like once a big movie hits, everyone flocks to it, and it just *stays* in the Top 10! Take Guy Ritchie’s latest, for example. It dropped in May, and months later, it’s still dominating the charts. People just can’t get enough!
Despite mixed reviews from critics and viewers, the action-adventure film starring John Krasinski, Natalie Portman, Eiza Gonzalez, and Domhnall Gleason has become a surprisingly popular hit on Apple TV this year. The movie follows a similar adventurous style to films like *National Treasure*, the *Indiana Jones* series, and classics such as *King Solomon’s Mines*. It’s a visually stunning, globe-trotting story with the following plot:
I’m already hooked! This movie is about a brilliant treasure hunter who’s planning a huge expedition. But he quickly realizes he can’t do it alone, especially with all the dangers lurking around every corner. It turns out the key to his success – and survival – is reconnecting with his sister, who’s even more clever than he is. Talk about a complicated family dynamic adding to the excitement!
The main problem with *Fountain of Youth* was that it didn’t stand out from other action-adventure films. It borrowed heavily from classic movies in the genre, but ultimately felt unoriginal, leading to mostly negative reviews that called it predictable and uninspired.

Apple TV+
Reviews for *Fountain of Youth* are generally negative, with a 34% score from critics and a 38% audience rating, raising questions about the level of attention the film has received. Critics found it unoriginal, describing it as a collection of ideas borrowed from other movies, lacking subtlety and feeling familiar. Audiences struggled to pinpoint exactly what they disliked, questioning whether it was John Krasinski’s performance, Guy Ritchie’s direction, or the film’s overall sense of being a poor imitation.
When it comes to streaming, a compelling movie on a prominent banner or sent via email is almost guaranteed to attract viewers. That’s certainly been true for *Fountain of Youth*, which has remained in the Top 10 since its release and shows no signs of losing popularity.
Despite numerous reasons suggesting a sequel to *Fountain of Youth* won’t happen, anything is possible in the current entertainment landscape. While reviews were largely disappointing, the film remains popular on Apple TV+, meaning it was a financial success through streaming. There’s been no indication that director Ritchie or the cast are interested in revisiting the story, so it appears *Fountain of Youth* will stand alone as a single adventure.
