    Well now I kind of want to see it! What about it was particularly noteworthy, or was it just the modern “meh” of spectacle without plot?

      This was way worse than the average “bad film” lol. It was completely nonsensical and so full of massive plot holes that it has to be some kind of record. And it wasn’t even bad in a fun way, just irritating and dumb unfortunately. Even the CGI sucked…

      I would’ve walked out halfway through the film if I hadn’t been there with someone.

        Absolutely this.

        The tonal shifts were baffling. I didn’t know if it was supposed to be serious or funny. Like was it campy or bad? I do not know.

        I do recall enjoying Blunt’s performance. Her acting is very good. Her dialogue and the script just brought it down though.

      Imagine watching the main character, go up to another character and start berating them with listicles of moments in their lives (you as a viewer have no idea of) while simultaneously being annoyed that they feel compulsed to berate the other character with listicles of their lives. Which are supposed to be all these amazing and quiet moments which a strange person shouldn’t know. So the other character its getting all teary-eyed while the main character’s annoyance resolves into smugness who then cries and screams about all of it. Repeat.

      From everyhing ive seen, its a modern remake of close encounters, but with all the trappings of current year Hollywoo.

      CD and special effects feel less magical, its the reason Project Hail Mary felt different. Everyone knew Ryan was acting along side a puppet. Good sci-fi is possible, but reality is too jaded and needs things to be a bit more hopeful.
