Arcadian: Nicholas Cage vs slimy monsters shouldn’t be this dull

• The idea of Nicolas Cage fighting off slimy post-apocalyptic monsters is a grabby, if basic one. Cage fans tempted towards Arcadian by that log-line need an immediate caveat: he is first-billed in it, naturally, but only in it for 30 minutes tops, if you were to tot up his scenes. He sits out the entire second act injured, having barely survived an explosion underground. There’s not much of him later, either.
