You’ve got to see Everything Everywhere All at Once - it’s an awesome movie! I used to avoid it, thinking it was just another sci-fi film that got popular in theaters, but boy, was I mistaken. The story is really well-crafted, the visuals are stunning, the acting is top-notch, and it even tugs at your heartstrings unexpectedly. I watched it last night and was blown away. Seriously, don’t make the same mistake I did. Go ahead and give it a watch. I’d easily rate it 8.5/10, heck, maybe even a 9!

    It was fun and creative and done on a (relative) shoestring budget. But I’m honestly shocked at the high praise and awards. For me, it was a solid 7 or 8 / 10. From the way people have been speaking about it they made it sound like it was a 10 / 10 perfect movie.

      It is a movie of its time whose themes resonate with a lot of people.

      It is also well acted, filled with challenging parts for a lot of the actors.

      Same, what’s stranger is the volume of downvotes people receive from criticising it either here or previously at the other place.

      The concepts were pretty standard multiverse stuff but they kept trying to shoehorn some kind of overly ambitious meaning into it. I found the juxtaposition between “literally anything can happen” and “family love crosses dimensions” particularly difficult to swallow.

      Decent special effects on a tight budget though.
