Reviews are in for Gore Verbinski’s latest film, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, and they’re overwhelmingly positive.

The film features Sam Rockwell as the mysterious “Man from the future,” who takes a group of diners in Los Angeles hostage to save the world from a rogue AI. The cast includes Juno Temple, Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chaudhry, and Tom Taylor. As of now, the film boasts a 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Good Luck marks Verbinski’s first project since 2016’s psychological horror A Cure for Wellness, which received mixed reviews and struggled at the box office. Prior to that, Verbinski directed The Lone Ranger, which was Disney’s biggest box office disappointment at the time. Critics are praising his new film as a return to form for the director, best known for the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy.

One outlet described the film as a “captivatingly silly saga about the pitfalls of our modern techno-obsessiveness,” while another noted it’s “exciting to see something so earnest and human and utterly bonkers.”

In their review, another source called this bizarre sci-fi adventure the “best Black Mirror episode in more than a decade,” although they also pointed out its similarities to Terminator. It’s hard to picture Rockwell delivering the classic “Come with me if you want to live” line, but that just makes me want to see the film even more.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die hits theaters on February 13. For more, check out our picks of the best sci-fi movies of all time.
