I enjoyed watching this movie (getting drunk before was a good idea). Still film can be bashed from so many angles and that is main problem with it.

  • Script - I can pass on most of the issues listed by critics. Although one thing did bother me a lot: female characters. One of the worst female characters I've seen this year. Those women were hysterical beyond stereotypes: cry or sex were the only valuable options for them.
  • It is all CGI. I'm not fan of CGI overall, but in Oblivion it was great (it didn't bother me at any time).
  • Color grading: teal and orange. Digital gives so many options and we get another movie in this narrow palette. Just look at this frame (books in the middle).
Simple mind - simple pleasures...

The first half of this film would make an awesome videogame.

I thought some of ideas were cool, became a  bit of a mess in the second half. The film couldn't execute some of the huge ideas and concepts with any real weight.

Visually interesting designs (I like their crib) and a pretty cool soundtrack at times.
