  Don't be fooled by any gimmicks. This is masterclass.

  Not sure if William's portrayal as Sy is more creepy when he's menacing or when he's not menacing.

  A home run performance you don't get from his other ubiquitous roles.

  The real conspiracy is if the ending was merely to cover the narratives shortcomings?

  Here 2024

  ★★½ Watched 08 Feb 2025

  I never thought I would use the phrase, but it must be done... "It insists upon itself"

  It's the first film (that I have seen) that mimics the emerging AI generation. Whether the technology was implemented or not, the results are as clear as "the sound of all the voices that have been here." Too bad many of the voices lack real conviction.

  The CGI is laughable at best, but the transitions with said AI is tastefully applied. It's a shame how an interesting concept delivers lackluster results.

  For a story that encompasses the eons, it's relieving to be under the two-hour mark.
