Gymkata

“The skill of gymnastics, the kill of karate.”

Premium Crap. CrapScore 82, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
A gymnast enters a deadly contest where suspiciously convenient gym equipment keeps appearing in the landscape. The film treats this new combat discipline like a serious geopolitical breakthrough, and the earnestness is almost as impressive as the flips.
