As a seasoned movie buff with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the holiday season has always been a magical time for me, filled with nostalgic cinematic delights and anticipation for new additions to our annual viewing rotation. This year, the highly-anticipated Christmas release that’s got everyone talking is none other than Red One, starring the dynamic duo, Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans.
During the festive period, cinema enthusiasts look forward to revisiting their favorite Christmas films they’ve cherished for decades. It’s also when fresh holiday movies are unveiled, aiming to establish themselves as future annual traditions. Among this year’s most anticipated new Christmas releases is “Red One“, featuring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans, whose popularity among Prime Video subscribers suggests it could soon earn the title of a holiday classic.
Red One has set a record as the most-watched Amazon MGM movie to stream on Prime Video. While that’s certainly a very specific record, 50 million views over its launch weekend is still nothing to sneeze at. The record-setting views are in addition to Red One’s solid box office run before hitting streaming. Dwayne Johnson took to Instagram to celebrate the milestone

Opinions on the movie “Red One” have been varied. Some view it as a light, fluffy Christmas film lacking depth, while others see it as a delightful, straightforward entertainment perfectly capturing the spirit of the holiday season. The fact that many are streaming “Red One” suggests that they favor the latter interpretation.
After catching Red One twice – once in the cinema and once at home – I must say it’s an enjoyable ride, perfect for those seeking a fresh Christmas film. This flick boasts two top-notch actors, delivers action that packs a punch, and offers plenty of chuckles. It might not shatter box office records or claim Oscars, but it’s a delightful movie that embodies the holiday spirit. For folks craving a cinematic experience at home, this film could very well be their ideal choice this season. In essence, it’s like a Hallmark movie with an extra serving of guys getting kicked in the shins!
Johnson highlights the extended duration for which a film such as “Red One” could remain popular, a characteristic shared by significant holiday releases. If a holiday-themed entertainment item is successful, it often becomes a tradition to revisit it annually.
As a movie enthusiast who had the pleasure of watching “Red One” over the weekend, I can confidently say that its captivating storyline and exceptional production values are likely to keep audiences engaged throughout this Christmas season. Come next year, we’ll get a clearer picture of whether it manages to hold its charm for viewers once more. If so, it certainly has the potential to become an annual holiday tradition for many movie lovers like myself.
This holiday season promises to be exceptionally joyful for Dwayne Johnson. Not only did he deliver an impressive performance in “Red One,” but he also shared the screen with Moana in “Moana 2.” Remarkably, since its debut a month ago, it’s been the top-grossing film at domestic box offices every weekend. It’s as if Dwayne Johnson is spearheading both the traditional cinema and streaming worlds simultaneously.
