Peak mid is the pinnacle of mediocrity — when something achieves a level of average so complete and so consistent that it somehow represents the best version of being unremarkable. It's a backhanded compliment or a mock-celebration of thoroughgoing blandness. Peak in slang typically signals the height of something, so peak mid acknowledges that this thing has reached the apex of its mid trajectory. There's a grudging respect in it, like: wow, you really committed to being a 5/10. Often used with mock reverence for things that never tried to be more.
That movie is peak mid — you could show it on a plane to anyone in the world and zero people would feel anything.
