Still reeling from how shite this was. A cacophony of noise and striking cinematography over a lifeless story which lacked any emotional heft.

Poor show.

No. Predictable garbage.

It was the movie equivalent of being stuck behind a slow walker.

It has good reviews. Rotten Tomatoes give it 90% - though one or two do comment that it is slow.

Going to see it on Sunday so no spoilers please!

It did have 100% from the pre-screening reviews, but once everyone else started seeing it it's being dragged down.

Hopefully it will settle on a more accurate 50-55%.

thanks to your evaluation, Ani, I may have successfully discouraged a friend from wasting his time on this movie.

C'mon. C'mon. Keep those true reviews coming.

I'm guessing all those who were invited to the pre-screener last week were under some NDA.

A lot of people like this movie it seems. So don't not see it because I said.

Maybe I'm just to thick to 'get' it.

I dont think so Ani. It is probably the other way round.

Just listened to Mark Kermode's review - there's a great podcast every week.

He raved about it.

I usually agree with Kermode, but he's dead wrong here. I mean the first thing he says is he won't spoil the plot, as if there was much of one to ruin. If he found the predictable and thin plot impressive i really don't know what to say.

There's a TV series called Westworld which done all of this so much better.
