One review in Variety described it as a “formulaic fizzle,” suggesting predictable plotting and weak dialogue. On Metacritic, a couple of early reviews noted the slick look but noted a lack of narrative depth. However, BoxOfficeHype and others praise its blend of brains and brawn, Duhamel’s new anti‑hero role, and intelligent sci‑fi‑style themes.💡 Why You Might Watch A mash‑up of intellectual sci‑fi and high‑intensity action Josh Duhamel in a cerebral survival‑thriller role Themes exploring the ethics of corporate power vs. scientific responsibility Stunning rural cinematography from Mississippi and dynamic environments🎬 Conclusion Off the Grid is a modern action-thriller that blends survivalist grit with speculative science fiction, wrapped around a moral conflict about technology and power.
