New Film ‘Fountain of Youth’ Now Streaming on Apple TV+

LOS ANGELES, CA — The new film ‘Fountain of Youth‘, directed by Guy Ritchie and featuring stars John Krasinski and Natalie Portman, debuted on Apple TV+ on May 23, 2025. The action-adventure centers around two estranged siblings who embark on a global quest to find the mythical Fountain of Youth.

Krasinski plays Luke Purdue, a roguish archaeologist who, along with his sister Charlotte, played by Portman, searches for clues hidden in classic Renaissance artworks that lead to the legendary fountain. Accompanying them are two teammates and a wealthy benefactor, played by Domhnall Gleeson, who seeks healing.

The film begins with a dramatic robbery in Bangkok, followed by high-speed chases in London. Critics describe its storyline as familiar, drawing on elements from classic adventure films like ‘Indiana Jones’ and ‘National Treasure’. Despite its riveting locations across the globe including Vienna and Cairo, the film reportedly lacks depth and originality.

Critics have noted the film’s polished visuals and fast pacing but raised concerns about its lack of substance. Ritchie is known for his unique storytelling style, yet ‘Fountain of Youth’ feels more like a commercial spectacle rather than a cohesive narrative. Viewers have described it as seemingly engineered for broad appeal with minimal emotional engagement.

Although the cast is skilled and the action sequences are vibrant, some reviewers suggest that the characters, particularly the leads, fall flat without chemistry, making the story less engrossing. With many predictable plot points and clichéd dialogue, the film has received mixed reviews.

Although ‘Fountain of Youth’ does not appear destined for classic status, its charming stars and engaging action may resonate with audiences looking for entertaining escapism during a quiet evening at home.
