Skip it—this Stephen King adaptation squanders an ambitious multiverse premise and wastes a solid cast (Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey) on a confusing, poorly paced slog that even devoted fans found disappointing. You'll get better bang for your time with literally any other fantasy-action option.
