No way is this movie a 5.5 so I am rating as a 10 to offset this. I think it's a solid 8. It is very uneven in both screenplay and performances, but visually stunning with epic themes and some solid acting by Adam Driver. I very much appreciate the audaciousness of it and Coppola self funding it. Baller move! We just don't see large budget "auteur" films anymore. There is no way a studio would fund such a film and for good reason. The CGI was also a bit uneven but I can forgive that for the amazing things it was used for and the uplifting themes of a better utopian world. Despite it's flaws I think it's a classic!

This is from the same guy who made Mr. Robot? An empty vessel of a movie. Not much happens...random events occur and the characters fumble around. What's going on? The internet goes out. A random ship crashes. Deer acting mysteriously. Random arabic fliers coming down from an airplane in the middle of nowhere. A boys teeth falls out. Like what??? And the movies give zero explanation for anything. At no point do they actively engage with what's going on. They are just wondering like we are. And the movie just abruptly ends with no explanations or really anything happening. Just a really really bad annoying movie. Gave it an extra star because acting was OK (in spite of Julia Roberts having the most irritating character ever).

I really wanted to like this movie more than I did. It was very original, had decent acting and interesting effects. It was also unnecessarily confusing, too long by about 40 minutes And from what I can figure out quite illogical in its use of multiverse theme. It also didn't help that the hardware they were using to zip around the Multiverse looked like it was from a 1980s science-fiction movie. Some of the fight scenes were cool, but had a lot of unnecessary slapstick comedy thrown in which really doesn't work for me and seemed very out of place. Worth a watch though.
