Like, he is somebody who's thinking about the way that you present, and that's baked into this idea.

But everything that he does is undergirded by the power of collectivist social change.

And the movie ends with, like, a very literal...

of the way in which he wants to see the world change.

And I would say that I found it a little boiled down ultimately, like how he saw the world changing, and a little bit kind of oversimplified to communicate the message.

I agree with what you're saying, which is that in the minor moments, like in Kiki Palmer's performance, the movie is a lot of fun.

Yeah.

I think... There's, like, a couple of movies I thought about.

Like, John Carpenter's They Live, I feel like, was a huge influence on this movie that has, like, a big reveal kind of in the second half of the film that I thought was...

very clever and that's certainly not a subtle movie either like the message that that movie is sending to you is pretty profoundly like we're all being tricked and there's only one way to break the code here but

As a movie-watching experience, I just felt myself outside of it a lot of the time.

And it wasn't because I disagreed with its political point of view or anything like that.

It was more like, you know when a movie is trying to have a tone, and there's an absence of pacing, and you can feel it kind of moving in a shambolic way.

When Poppy Liu's character comes into the film, it opens up this other huge global perspective on what is actually transpiring in this world.

But it also introduces a technology that is sort of confusing and a bit elaborate and

and we don't quite know what this kind of mcguffin type machine does and it does a lot of different things and maybe too many things to make the movie as coherent as i wanted it to be i will say aiza gonzalez in the movie as rory cochran from days to confuse this was amazing i loved her doing this it was so nice to see her not just be like eye candy bombshell girl holding a gun like to be a complete stoner was very entertaining um

I just I walked away feeling like a little limp.

I appreciated.

Yeah, it felt very handmade, felt very Jim Henson-y at times.

A lot of the stop motion animation being used.
