The movie was written and directed by Kelly Marcel, and it's the 3d installment in the Venom trilogy and the 5th in the Sony Spider-Man universe.

 

The movie opens with Knull, god of the void and slicer of worlds, who has been imprisoned by the symbiotes after light invaded his kingdom. He orders his servants (some giant insect-like creatures) to  find the Codex created when a symbiote's host died and was resurrected by the symbiote,so he could release himself and destroy the universe (why does every villain want to destroy the universe?!).

 

A drunk Eddie and Venom on another version of earth, before being transported to their version of earth ( I didn't watch the Spider-Man movie linked to this movie before this one, and I was wondering what's going on!)

 

Eddie is on the run, as his face is everywhere in the news(he's in Mexico and he's in the news there too), and decides to go to New York to clear his name.

 

Flying on top of a plane, Venom catches the eye of one of Knull's servants sent after him, and Venom and Eddie barely escape with their life.

 

In the Area 51, the government caught and keeps many symbiotes, and a host, Mulligan, left for dead by his symbiote, who doesn't want to have a symbiote.

Doctor Teddy Paine, who became interested in aliens due to her brother who wanted to work for NASA,but died struck by lightning when they were kids, researches the symbiotes trying to find out what are they doing on earth.

 

Eddie meets a family of hippies, who help him, and take him to Las Vegas, as it's on their way to Area 51, as the father believes in aliens, and wants to see one.

 

In Las Vegas, the hippie father gives Eddie money and a pair of shoes, and Eddie and Venom get the tuxedo of a drunk man to get into a casino.

Venom becomes obsessed with winning at the slot machines, but he loses all the money very fast, and gets angry. Right after, they meet Mrs. Chen who takes them to her penthouse to clean up, as she won big in Las Vegas.

When Venom is having fun, dancing with Mrs. Chen, Knull's servant spots him (as whenever he changes completely into Venom he sends a signal of the Codex), and the military break into the penthouse and take them, imprisoning Eddie and separating him from Venom.

 

I personally enjoyed the movie, it didn't bore me, and that's what's important. The movie was action packed, it made me laugh here and there ,due to Venom's antics, and even made me cry at the end.

 

Although it received mixed reviews, bad when it comes to the screenplay, but good when it comes to acting, action scenes and visual effects, the movie grossed almost 500 million dollars worldwide, against a budget of about 120 million, making it the 10th grossing movie of 2024.

 

The acting was good.

 

The visual effects were good.

 

The soundtrack was good.

 

The movie is for 30 days free on Amazon Prime, and is for rent / sale on Amazon Video, AppleTv, Fandango at Home.
