How is this one worse!?
I’m not a “plot hole” kind of viewer… but like, damn this movie and its premise was built entirely on a house of cards three sheets to the wind. Why is Newt even involved in all this? To say nothing of the mind numbing world building brimming with asinine decisions.

Dude really won an Oscar for Parasite then said "nah, I ain't trying with this one". It's not that good. It's not that fun. It is that forgettable. Memorable more for it's ideas than it's execution of them
