Jacob Elordi’s Post-Apocalyptic Flop | Adelaide News

Jacob Elordi’s new Ridley Scott-directed disaster flick The Dog Stars is getting brutal reviews — critics are calling it a “post-apocalyptic bore” and “bizarrely inert,” despite a $100M budget and an A-list cast including Josh Brolin, Guy Pearce, and Alison Janney. With a dismal 38% Rotten Tomatoes score, the film’s been slammed for feeling derivative and unfocused, though some praise Elordi’s magnetic performance — even if he looks as drained as the audience. It’s not his first rodeo with polarizing projects — his role in Wuthering Heights was also criticized (“astonishingly hollow”) but still grossed over $200M. Critics may be harsh, but box office could tell a different story — this one’s got legs… or maybe just a broken engine.
