In that same Reddit thread, another user commented that they didn’t know who Zoe Saldana was and that she shouldn’t be considered “an action star” in her T-Mobile commercial. Another person replied to that and pointed out, “She’s normally CGI or layered in makeup … being in Avatar and Guardians of the Galaxy/Avengers movies makes her at least a scifi action star.”
The commercial was received equally poorly in another Reddit thread in the “Commercials I Hate” subreddit in which the poster said, “I cannot understand what she’s saying half the time, and those faces are awful.” One commenter agreed, saying: “The face she makes when she’s pretending to ski is so weird. For the longest time I thought she was just dancing because she was happy about the deal.” They added that both options were bad ones. A lot of people also said that the puffy white jacket Saldana wears in the commercial was ugly — although it was clearly meant to accommodate the joke at the end, where Saldana’s reflection says, “You look like a marshmallow!”
Some commenters pointed out that the concept of the commercial didn’t make sense, since a person with the net worth of Saldana could likely afford new iPhones without needing a special deal from T-Mobile.
