One Battle After Another<\/p>\n
It may be no great shock that Paul Thomas Anderson directing Leonardo DiCaprio in a movie is turning out to be great, but the level of great here is something else entirely. One Battle After Another is turning out to be one of the best-scored movies in recent history spanning Rotten Tomatoes and especially Metacritic. The reviews aren\u2019t just positively, they are absolute raves.<\/p>\n
As it stands, One Battle After Another has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>. That\u2019s tied with the mostly-accepted other best film of 2025, Sinners, also at that figure. <\/p>\n But where things diverge is Metacritic<\/a>. Rotten Tomatoes is calculated based on whether a movie is positive or negative, a 3\/5 counts the same as a 5\/5. Metacritic takes the score itself into account. This site is most commonly cited in the video game industry, but for movies and TV shows, these numbers skew a lot lower on average. This is why One Battle After Another putting up a 96\/100 here is incredible. That represents 31 perfect or near-perfect reviews, brought down by a somewhat baffling 5.5\/10 and 5\/10 from two outlets that are certainly breaking from the mainstream. In contrast, the Rotten Tomatoes-tied Sinners is at an 84.<\/p>\n One Battle After Another<\/p>\n Metacritic<\/p>\n These reviews are crazy. Here\u2019s a sampling of them:<\/p>\n PT Anderson has never won a Best Picture Oscar, but many are considering this the clear frontrunner at this point with just three months to go in the year. There\u2019s a lot of praise for Leonardo DiCaprio and Benicio Del Toro, obviously, but a whole lot for newcomer Chase Infiniti, the 25 year-old actress who stands tall with some of the most storied legends in cinema.<\/p>\n Oh, well, what\u2019s this about anyway? Here\u2019s the synopsis:<\/p>\n \u201cBob is a washed-up revolutionary who lives in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off-grid with his spirited and self-reliant daughter, Willa. When his evil nemesis resurfaces and Willa goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her as both father and daughter battle the consequences of their pasts.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n And here\u2019s the trailer:<\/p>\n The movie is out on September 26, and it\u2019s clearly not one you\u2019re going to want to miss. <\/p>\n Follow me <\/strong>on Twitter<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>YouTube<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>Instagram<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Pick up my sci-fi novels the <\/strong>Herokiller series<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>The Earthborn Trilogy<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n
