Their performances carry what is otherwise a forgettable and cliché survival story, and aside from some particularly poor visual effects, there's little else to see in Against the Sun.
Ophelia (2018) - 6.7
Tom Felton seems to have a thing for period pieces. Ophelia is based on a highly intriguing concept, as it re-imagines Shakespeare's classic Hamlet from the perspective of Ophelia.

Playing Catana is acclaimed actress Taraji P. Henson, while Felton plays the disrespectful Edward. It's an endearing biopic, and while it's not on the level of The Titans it's worth a watch for those interested in college sports history.
