Saw this on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. At first I thought the movie was gonna drag the surprise of “she’s a robot!!!” out way too far since it’s already used in the morning, but they mention it early enough that it’s not an issue.

The first 2 “acts” are near flawless, but things really begin to drag after arriving at the Emerald City. As much as I love Jeff Goldblum, he plays too much into his “oddball”…
