Megalopolis 2024
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Okay, to preface, I did try going into this one with an open mind, but honestly, it closed pretty quickly, around the hour mark, to be exact. So take this review with the same grain of salt as you take any other review, because;

I'm Not There 2007
