A film about a television program about a play within a play "about infinity and I don't know what else".
Wes Anderson is brilliant! This is only the 2nd film that I've seen by him after "Grand Budapest Hotel", but I'm itching to watch more. Incredible shots, impeccable dialog, and metaphorical complexity. I loved it!

I thought I would really like this movie, and the premise is brilliant, but maybe my expectations were too high. It definitively kept my attention because... *gestures obviously* and I found myself invested, but my biggest criticism is that there were too many twists towards the end and they didn't know how to end it. Like they wrote and filmed multiple endings and then decided to just use them all.
A fine movie, but I don't know if I'd watch it again.
"Last of Us" meets "Ark: Survival Evolved". Anything staring Adam Driver catches my attention and makes me want to tune in. I'd seen some negative reviews and was worried I would hate it, but I honestly enjoyed this movie for exactly what it is. Fighting dinosaurs with space guns is fun, and while there isn't too much memorable about this film, I was entertained.
Oof... there is a lot to unpack here. First I'll say that the cinematography is extremely well done, and the performances by Elordi, Keoghan, and Pike were fantastic; however, that's where my praises end.
It's framed as an "eat the rich" theme, but is really about the destructive and devouring nature of obsession, should be right up my alley, but falls terribly flat!
The movie is incredibly choppy from a storytelling standpoint and I felt like it dragged on far…
