Instant Streaming Hit: HBO Max’s Recent Additions to Their Sci-Fi Collection

A 2023 sci-fi movie starring Adam Driver has recently joined HBO Max’s lineup, quickly becoming a fan favorite. This film has even surpassed Gerard Butler’s Greenland in the top 5 on the FlixPatrol Top 10 Streaming List. With Adam Driver’s impressive filmography, including hits like Logan Lucky, Ferrari, and Star Wars, it’s no wonder that this lesser-known sci-fi flick is making waves on the streaming platform.

The movie, titled 65, follows the story of Mills (played by Adam Driver) who finds himself stranded on Earth—65 million years in the past—after a spacecraft crash. Alongside a 10-year-old crash survivor named Koa (played by Ariana Greenblatt), Mills must navigate dangerous prehistoric creatures as they try to survive and find a way back home.

While 65 may not have received glowing reviews from critics, it has resonated well with general audiences. The film scored 35% on the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer but a more favorable 64% on the Popcornmeter. Critic reviews note that the movie can feel predictably silly at times, and the pacing may lag in certain sections. Some critics, like Alfred Castaneda from Shade Studios, feel that with better direction, 65 could have been more entertaining. Justin Kim from Loud and Clear Reviews also agrees, calling it a “space-age disaster” of a B-movie.

However, audience members have a different perspective, praising the tension and performances in the movie. One viewer gave it a perfect 5-star rating, highlighting the strong acting and suspenseful moments. Another viewer appreciated the movie for what it is—a thrilling, dialogue-light story with heart-pounding scenes and Adam Driver’s compelling performance alongside his young co-star.
