    Sponsored by VOSS WATER. You will see that damn water bottle every 5 minutes in this film in between these horrible pop songs. Movie just felt like an advertisement.

    Setting wise, I should have loved this movie but I came away feeling like nothing was really that meaningful or memorable in the movie. Felt like Ridley Scott tried to make Gladiator but in a different time period and forgot all the reasons why Gladiator was so good. Contrasting the hypocrisy and sensibility of each respective religious group in the movie made it feel like a  post-9/11 movie commissioned to influence public opinion during the Iraq war.

    I always think “how long did this take” whenever I watch a claymation movie - and hearing how behind the scenes they were lucky to get 1 minute of film a week really let’s you appreciate the craftsmanship. What better way for a movie to critique the use of AI and technology than a handcrafted claymation movie?

    Dream-like movie seemingly about self discovery in adolescence and sacrifice all while playing nonstop 80s bangers. Or it’s just all schizophrenia, who knows!
