The Woman King with the 99% audience score is so fucking blatantly insane I don't know how anyone can take RT seriously.
I'm not even saying RT has some woke agenda, but I do know for damn sure they have a financial agenda which is tied very closely to the financial success of Hollywood studios. RT is not some website run by an unbiased ethical movie lover anymore. It's a business and the customer they service is Hollywood.

Which is not how it would work. Since the crash was "there" to un-crash from the perspective of the regular time, nobody would have to clean up the crash. Quite the opposite. People would have to come in and set up the crash so it would be there to "un-crash" and leave the road clean afterwards.
Whether the clean-up crew was inverted or not, it'd still be people carrying a car wreck onto the road and leaving it there for the next day/week whatever. Them walking and talking backwards wouldn't make it less weird.
If there's anywhere it gets a positive rating then it's fake and manipulated. That will always be the response.yeah its been well known RT isn't that useful for a while now, hell even the baseline RT score just is a binary "did a critic think this movie was ok or sucked". If its ok (60% or higher score!) it gets a 1, otherwise a 0. Thats a pretty useless metric. 97% Odyssey just means 97/100 critics thought the movie was 60/100 or better. That is meaningless end of the day. And as people have figured out, the user score just is from people clicking yes/no after a fandango booking and viewing, extremely low self selecting.
what about IMDB though? Its currently

and letterboxd which is mostly film bros

(4.3/5.0)
I don't know how IMDB ratings work, i assume letterboxd doesn't require verification you watched or anything so thats pretty high.
By comparison Woman King is 6.9/10 on IMDB and 3.7/5.0 on letter which feels appropriate for the movie. I don't think Odyssey is gonna drop to those numbers though.
