    ★★★

    The first half is fun and has some interesting ideas around the ethics of cloning. But the second half bored me with its unsubtle social commentary and excessive CGI. Bong Joon Ho definitely reheated his nachos from Snowpiercer and Okja - unfortunately they taste stale now.

    Wonderfully immersive and not a single word spoken. Also surprisingly stressful at times! The anti-dog lobby will love this one.

    Sidenote: I’ve never seen so many production company logos before! They just kept coming.

    Just your run of the mill sniper meet-cute/whiteboard courtship/bioweapon coverup/zombie horseman romp. Seriously though, what in the generative AI is going on here?

    I enjoyed this more than I care to admit. Especially the part where Miles ziplines across the gorge with a bunch of flowers to get a lay and some rabbit pie (if he wanted to, he would!).

    It’s basically a rehash of several video games (see Firewatch, Resident Evil, Uncharted) with some cringe romance and awful CGI thrown in. What’s not to like?
