**Stay away, you have been warned!**
This movie was so absurd that I felt compelled to write this review to warn others.
From start to finish, it’s a series of implausible and downright ridiculous events. The portrayal of airport security in particular is laughably unrealistic. I hardly know where to begin, but here are just a few examples: there’s a gunfire incident in the airport bathroom that somehow goes unnoticed, a TSA officer is stabbed in a public area with no reaction from anyone, and a random guy drives his van around the airport like it’s his personal property. These are just a few of the endless, nonsensical scenes that will leave you shaking your head in disbelief.
To make matters worse, the protagonist makes one frustratingly foolish decision after another, leaving you more annoyed than invested. It’s almost as if the movie is determined to test your patience at every turn.
This is, without a doubt, the dumbest movie of the year. It doesn’t deserve more than 1 star, and I’m baffled that it has a rating above 6—it’s a joke. Save yourself the frustration and skip this one.

Jaume Collet-Serra’s "Carry On" is a holiday action thriller that blends sharp direction, engaging storytelling, and great performances. The movie’s attention to detail is exceptional, with every scene serving a purpose. Its tightly woven plot moves briskly, delivering compelling twists without unnecessary fluff. This refreshing approach ensures an engaging experience.
Egerton’s performance stands out, portraying a mix of vulnerability and tenacity that makes Ethan relatable. Jason Bateman excels as the chilling antagonist. The emotional depth brought by Collet-Serra’s direction ensures you’re invested in the characters. The cinematography adds to the tension, with creative shots and dynamic angles enhancing the airport setting. Memorable scenes and immersive visuals elevate the story, making the film a visual treat.
"Carry On" balances its thrills with genuine emotion, offering a gripping, high-stakes narrative about choices and resilience. It’s a smart, thrilling ride that’s well worth the time.

This guy is so dumb. This movie is so long. I suppose you could take a drink every time a gotcha moment happens. That could get you quite drunk and maybe then you'd not care about how dumb it is. Strong drinks.
It's fine though. Lots of neat phone calls and shots of surveillance.

Worst film in the franchise. I mean, where are Sid James’ laugh, Kenneth Williams’ innuendos, and Hattie Jacques’ stern glare?

'Carry-On' is a movie that gave me the required entertainment, I found it all to be extremely watchable. There are one or two moments within the first hour that had me questioning how they were going to stretch interest for events onscreen for just short of two hours, but pleasantly they most certainly do.
Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman give excellent performances, I think even without just one or the other the film wouldn't work as nicely - they are the keys to its success, for me. That's not to say it's a production that only relies on its acting talent, because this felt well written; they make the predicament/actions of the characters justified.
I have no doubt that the film uses plenty of artistic licence, as per with movies, but that's something I have zero issue with - as long as it makes the plot more enjoyable, which most definitely is the case here in my opinion. Going back to the cast, nice to see Dean Norris involved; Danielle Deadwyler and Theo Rossi are positives as well.
Best way to sum this up: 'Die Hard' meets 'Toy Story 2'. I mean, come on, who doesn't wanna see that?!

You give me Bateman as a villain, and Egerton as a hero and I am sold. Airports suck so it is fun seeing all the chaos breakout and rules being broken but I wouldn't call this a masterpiece. It's a fun thriller for the holidays, and sometimes that is enough.
