Look, however belligerently cringe you want to make this is your business I guess... but don't you dare bring down 𝘍𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 like that, too. Listless, rambly, laborious 2+ hour Google commercial which indirectly becomes a more terrifying tech-campus nightmare than 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘭𝘦 simply because of how punishing it is to sit through. I'm certainly not opposed to a Vaughn + Wilson (who have such natural chemistry that they could build a picket fence together and I'd still go to see it) comedy where their trademark bullshit artistry is forced to find a workaround to Google's ubiquity - but this is packed with such hateable characters, shit visuals, and groan-worthy non-jokes that it makes you wonder how the hell they somehow stretched a *generous* 30 minutes worth of material into a 125+ minute bore. I struggle to find a time where Owen Wilson was worse than he is here, and why is every iteration of this movie's poster the worst thing I've ever seen? I would have vastly preferred the film with Will Ferrell and Rob Riggle's characters (AKA - the only funny ones in the movie) instead.

Kudos

Frantic, superhuman space escapism (spacapism? spacecapism? spacescapism?) which revels in chucking its cast of unfortunate characters head-first into ludicrous amounts of mental anguish, bodily torment, and spiritual deformation with nary a single solitary moment of repose. What do you do when you can't even trust your own mind (especially if it's scarier when you can) and don't even have the time to be sure before you act? Part sumptuous feast for the senses, part wildly fun men-on-a-mission space adventure, part bonkers slasher flick, part volatile mindfuck. Still one of the best looking movies you're likely to find, I'm never any less than blown away with how orgasmic this looks and sounds - the CGI is just immaculate. And the tech-fetish is so striking but never intrusive. Bonus points for being a pre-apocalyptic, time sensitive future sci-fi thriller that doesn't turn into a surface-level lecture on misplaced technophobia or "maybe *we're* the real virus" nonsense. Boyle and Garland are a dream team duo, knocked it right out of the park with this one - five hundred times the movie 𝘚𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘥𝘰𝘨 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘦 is.
