Why Zoe Saldana's T-Mobile Commercial Fell Totally Flat

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.
