Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Infinite Storm (2022)

Despite storm warnings, seasoned hiker Pam sets off on a solo trek. Hours underway, she encounters footprints that eventually lead to a man woefully underdressed and too inexperienced to be out in the approaching storm. Lucky she's trained in search and rescue because they'd be dead otherwise.

Slow and frustrating -- there didn't seem to be near enough story for a movie. The screenplay worked hard to keep both characters a mystery to the viewers, which just meant that I wasn't at all invested in their survival. The denouement would've likely been frustrating if I felt like I'd gotten to know them at all.
