Within the Blink of an Eye (now streaming on Hulu) is Andrew Stanton’s second live-action directorial effort after 2012’s John Carter, which ain’t precisely glowing precedent.

Type of like John Carter, Within the Blink is what we within the crit biz name a “large swing,” a tangled narrative triptych about Neanderthals, present-day folks and futurefolk that goals to make grand statements about life, loss of life, the passage of time and what it means to be human. And regardless of the efforts of a wonderful solid together with Rashida Jones, Daveed Diggs and Kate McKinnon, the film splats on the bottom like dropped mashed potatoes.
