Where to Watch Powder
- MR_BigTimeJanuary 31, 2026I truly don't get the hate Powder gets from quite a few critics. I mean, sure, it's not for everyone and it certainly could've done better, but even now, 30 years later, the lesson in human nature doesn't get old. Especially now that "our technology has surpassed our humanity" seems truer than ever before. Solid performances all around. The ending, though emotive, was also kind of meh.
