My little niece loves staying over our house on the weekends and she was pestering me about watching the new HIVE movie on tubi when it came out that many of her schoolmates were talking about. I looked it up and noticed Xochitl Gomez is in it. She is awesome! I love her to death. So we watched. For those jaded gatekeeping snobs of horror out there that live for gore and nothing else, you will not care for this movie. You are not the target audience. This is a definite beginner horror movie for little kids. Just be glad that there's a younger generation starting into horror. We loved that our protagonist and her brother are Hispanic and we love that the hero is a woman. I know there is a group of toxic narcissistic "alpha" men out there that hate women so this movie isn't for them either. This is a fun movie and I highly recommend it for kids to watch in the Halloween season but also on any Fri. or Sat. night with friends, family or both. Fans of Xochitl Gomez should love this too, she is extremely easy on the eyes.

Every single person out there in the world and their mothers worship this movie and hail it as the greatest movie ever made. It's not. I hate this movie. The loyal sheep say "MBJ won the Oscar!" and "but it's a period piece!" I don't give a damn, the movie sucked ass. There are two "actors" in Hollywood I despise. Steven Seagal and Michael B. Jordan. They are two of the biggest idiot hams ever. Absolute jokes. Still, I gave this movie a chance.

When watching a movie, there has to be a protagonist, the hero or heroine that I can identify with. The person or persons I care about and I want to root for and cheer on in hopes that they succeed in whatever endeavor they are in or get to where they are needing to get to in order to succeed. This movie doesn't have that. The protagonist of this movie is already on top of the world. He's rich, he's powerful, he's beautiful and he has women all over the place. I ask myself why should I like this guy? Yes, I hate MBJ but I'm a fair person, I'm giving this movie a chance. I can't root or cheer this guy on because like I said, he's already on top of the world. Where is the struggle? So far there is no one I can identify with. I absolutely don't like anyone I've seen. I don't care about anyone. As a matter of fact, I hate these rich jackasses that are showing off how beautiful, rich and powerful they are. Going into this movie I know there is a vampire in it. So I wait for him or her to show up thinking that is who I'm supposed to root for and cheer on. Some Native Americans show up. My hopes rise up. Then they leave. The vampire shows up and creates minion vampires from the damn KKK. There is no way I'm going to cheer on the KKK. The rich, beautiful, powerful people were having a party and the vampires seem to be going there for whatever. I'm thinking to myself. I don't care about those rich people. I don't care about the vampires. If they fight, I don't care about who wins so I walked out of the theater right then and there and asked for my money back. As for a rating, I'm not even giving this a one star. It doesn't deserve that high of a rating.

Jenna Ortega is my favorite actress ever. I had no knowledge of what this movie was about either. I went into this blind. I did however see that this movie had the description of being a comedy. It wasn't. The only feeling I had throughout was of nonstop anxiety. This is a great movie! Cairo (Jenna Ortega) did complete her essay "greatest achievement to date" for her college admission even though it helped destroy a few people. The easily offended pearl graspers out in the world freaked out saying that Cairo and Miller (Martin Freeman) had sex and that it was gross. The sex never happened. Cairo wrote a fictional story about a student and her teacher having sex. Still, Cairo was a very frightening character. Extremely calculating and deceitful. I love this movie!

The only reason I watched this movie was to see one of my favorite all-time actress Miranda Cosgrove in a new movie. I have to say this movie did not fit in well for its time. It came out in 2019 just in time for covid to hit the world and the plot of 3022 being earth's demise, it didn't sit well with me considering the grim and depressing view on earth in 2020. Most of the people in the world were afraid that earth was on the verge of dying, so this kind of movie was not wanted at that moment. Plus I hated that Miranda's character died early on in the beginning of this movie so nope I did not like this movie. Watching it now in 2026 I can appreciate it more since many survived the covid pandemic and all of that is behind us now but I do not like that one of my favorite actress' character died in the beginning of the movie. It breaks my heart to do so but I gave this movie 5 out of 10 stars. The 5 stars are for Miranda's brief screen time.
