Critics praised the gorgeous Colorado cinematography, well-paced action, and performances by Mackie and Baccarin. Common criticisms include its derivative plot, exposition-heavy dialogue, and uninspired creature design. RogerEbert.com noted its “straightforward world-building” and effective visuals. Guardian and Decider both describe it as decent but lacking originality. Cocktails & Movies offered a more positive view: “smart sci‑fi, breathtaking landscapes… worth your time” (4/5).From reddit fans, a common sentiment:“Nolfi’s latest creature feature… falls short due to its generic story and uninspired creature design.”📺 Where to Watch Streaming: Max (available from Feb 21, 2025 in the US), Amazon Prime Video in some regions and increasingly popular there. Purchase/Rental: Available on platforms like Amazon Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home. Physical Media: DVD released Jan 21, 2025.✅ Should You Watch It? ✅ Yes if you enjoy creature-features, mountain-survival settings, and strong lead performances in a visually compelling backdrop. ⚠️ Maybe skip if you're looking for fresh sci-fi ideas or deeply original storytelling—this tends to follow familiar formulas, with heavier exposition.📈 Franchise & Sequel Potential Since its debut on Max, the film has trended strongly—prompting calls for a sequel. The story leaves room for expansion with its open-ended climax and revealed truths about the Reapers.💰 Box Office PerformanceElevation (2024) was a modest theatrical release with the following box office performance: 🎟️ Box Office Summary This places Elevation firmly in the “flop” category theatrically—it earned barely a fifth of its budget at the global box office. However, the film has found new life on streaming platforms like Max and Prime Video, where it’s trending in their top charts. Budget: approximately $18 million . Domestic (US & Canada) Gross: $2.32 million. International Gross: roughly $1.29 million (bringing total to $3.61 million). Worldwide Total: $3.6 million. (~20 % of its production budget)🔍 Conclusion Elevation is a visually striking, well-acted sci-fi thriller that thrives on atmosphere and tension, set in a unique high-altitude apocalypse. While its creature design and storyline don’t reinvent the genre, the performances—particularly by Anthony Mackie and Morena Baccarin—along with the beautiful Rocky Mountain setting, make it a worthwhile watch for fans of survival horror or creature features. If you're okay with a familiar narrative wrapped in an engaging visual package, Elevation is worth streaming. Just don't expect it to be the next A Quiet Place or The Last of Us. Read More
