A Movie Can’t Be Just Its Own Thing Anymore

The article discusses the film 'Onslaught,' which is criticized for being overly complicated despite having a straightforward plot. Directed by Adam Wingard, the film is seen as a departure from his earlier work known for its simplicity and intensity. The article notes that 'Onslaught' attempts to return to basics but is marred by elements suggesting a focus on potential sequels, reflecting a broader trend in Hollywood where even smaller genre films are influenced by the need for franchise expansion. The film features a mix of intense action and a narrative involving rogue soldiers and a protagonist trying to survive. It also references Wingard's past projects, including his involvement with the 'Godzilla' series.
