Overall weekend totals plunge 60% from last year as the absence of a “Dune: Part Two”-level hit is felt
It was a 2.5 hour slog to get through some very ham fisted political commentary and philosophical ideas about the worth of a clone with an “original” still alive. Moon and Star Trek cover the ideas way better and in less time.
It’s a fairly horrible movie.
The brain scan and brain upload mechanic doesn’t account for perfect recall of deaths (no ability to brain scan after death), the mickeys should only have memories up to their last brain scan, so no mickey should have any memories of death.
It’s like one really long SNL skit, over the top political commentary with a very minor scifi flavor.
Yeah the movie is not very good. Saw it the other day.
This is pretty much exactly where I would exact an arty, anticapitalist lark of a movie to land. Anyone thinking this would do much more than $40m globally this weekend was probably fooling themselves.
It makes fun of all the Space obsessed billionaires, so I bet they have been making sure it bombs
