    Decided to rewatch this bc I felt like shit today and remembered nothing about this movie even though I saw it when it came out. There’s parts of this movie that are ok and a lot of decent performances but holy shit I do not understand the absolute craze this movie caused when it came out. Kinda a white liberal snooze fest

    I never walk out of movies, and I was super into this one at first… but the use of AI to render the likeness of a dead actor was SO egregious. It was a completely unnecessary device, didn’t even look good, and utterly tasteless. I was so excited for the practical effects and got totally sidelined by that. Totally took me out of the movie and didn’t even seem worth it to me to sit through the rest. Really disappointing because I really liked everything else.

    I’m glad that movies are starting to understand that the most romantic thing you can do with someone is guerilla warfare.
