Rohan Naahar is a Weekend News Writer for Collider. From Francois Ozon to David Fincher, he'll watch anything once.

He has covered everything from Marvel to the Oscars, and Marvel at the Oscars. He also writes obsessively about the box office, charting the many hits and misses that are released weekly, and how their commercial performance shapes public perception. In his time at Collider, he has also helped drive diversity by writing stories about the multiple Indian film industries, with a goal of introducing audiences to a whole new world of cinema.

A critically acclaimed sci-fi movie that premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival last year and received a limited release in February has dropped on streaming to instant success. The movie hails from the filmmaker brothers Kevin McManus and Matthew McManus, who previously directed the well-received Netflix horror film The Block Island Sound. The brothers served as writers on the acclaimed Netflix mockumentary series American Vandal; they frequently collaborate with their sister, actor Michaela McManus, who also headlines their new sci-fi movie. She plays a woman who goes on a dimension-hopping, time-loop quest to kill her daughter's murderer.

The movie also features Stella Marcus and Jeremy Holm, alongside Jim Cummings and Grace Van Dien. Cummings has made a name for himself by working on small-budget genre movies such as The Wolf of Snow Hollow, which he also directed, and the Coen Brothers-inspired neo-Western The Last Stop in Yuma County. Like those movies, the McManus brothers' new sci-fi film received critical acclaim. It now sits at a near-perfect 97% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics' consensus calls it "a fiercely imaginative, nerve‑shredding multiverse thriller that channels grief and terror into a tightly controlled, emotionally searing story of loss and reckoning."

Original vs. Remake of 3:10 to Yuma — The Collider Movie Quiz!

Today's date is 3/10, so it's a perfect time to compare the two versions of 3:10 to Yuma. Besides 50 years, what else separates these two films?

Here's Your New Favorite Multiverse Movie

In his review, Collider's Ross Bonaime wrote that it was "better than most multiverse movies" and described it as "both sprawling and intimate, complex yet without becoming convoluted." He also compared it to the Best Picture-winning Everything Everywhere All at Once. The film's time-loop structure also brings to mind the Tom Cruise cult classic Edge of Tomorrow. The movie in question is Redux Redux, which, much to its detriment, has a poster that makes it look like a disposable direct-to-digital title. According to FlixPatrol, Redux Redux was among the most-watched movies on the global HBO Max charts this week, when the leaderboard was topped by the far more expensive sci-fi movie Alien: Romulus. Redux Redux outperformed Ang Lee's 2003 Hulk, but trailed Tom Hardy's underrated drama film Locke.
