    This was fantastic!! Twisty turny up and down spy thriller with some truly fantastic dialogue and lead performances. The first truly great script from David Koepp in my opinion. I’ve never liked his writing and he’s been writing for years, even the films that he’s written that I’ve liked his script was usually my least favorite part but this one he really nails it, smart, propulsive, darkly funny, how did the same guy write the horrible script to panic room…

The script was not good, smart or funny. The multiverse stuff had no stakes and neither did any of the family stuff. A couple interesting visual flourishes and the universe where they were just rocks was interesting. I haven’t disliked a movie this much in years, I honestly…
