From snow-scarred plains to scorched skies, Kratos’s battle continues—not for war, but for his soul. Years after the fall of Olympus, Kratos lives as a shield, nearly anonymous and quiet—until Atreus, now a teenager, begins questioning the path they walked. When Ragnarok’s remnants twist reality and new gods hunger for dominion, the father-son duo must reunite to stop a cosmic unraveling.

The film opens with silence—snow drifts across icy ruins, broken pillars across frozen lakes. Kratos, embodied by Dwayne Johnson, emerges not as a god but as a weathered man whose scars run deeper than muscle. When Týr (Alexander Skarsgård) arrives—an ambivalent deity torn between vengeance and legacy—Kratos must navigate shifting loyalties. The only constant anchor: Atreus (Dafne Keen), whose youthful rage and ancient wisdom bind him to fate’s threads.

The visual poetry here is breathtaking. Frost dragons rise between columns of ice, realms collapse beneath thunderous gods, and zephyric lightning splits the sky. Director’s vision turns combat into dance—axe strikes as choreography, divine power refracted through ice shards. Clancy Brown’s voice-lord, Heimdall, narrates with tragic weight, reminding audiences that all gods fall.

But the emotional core lies in fatherhood. Kratos’s struggle is not just to stop Ragnarok—it’s to ensure Atreus doesn’t become him. Their bond fractures under the weight of prophecy, yet mends in desperation. A haunting moment comes when Atreus relinquishes a godly artifact to save mortals; Kratos doesn’t celebrate. He simply holds him.

The climax unfolds atop a cracked mountain during a storm of splintered worlds. Kratos battles Týr as Atreus confronts prophecy’s final verse. In the end, it’s love—not war—that forges a new fate.

Rating: 8.7/10
