It’s kind of a mess, but it’s specifically Verbinski’s mess and that makes for a propulsively chaotic ride.

I can’t remember seeing a film that espoused ideas and beliefs with which I agreed wholeheartedly (social media is evil and we’re all going to die) while simultaneously boring me stupid.

3/5

This starts strong but doesn’t always have the room to explore all the ideas it crams in, even with a lengthy running time. Still, Rockwell’s man-on-a-mission is a delight.

The film is ultimately pure entertainment, a madcap comedy with a frenetic pace, surprises around every corner, and a somewhat comic-book structure. [Full review in Spanish]

Gore Verbinski's latest film features a spectacular Sam Rockwell; its action-packed tone and technophobia make up the rest in this satire. [Full review in Spanish]

Through a narrative full of twists and memorable characters, it warns us about the dangers of uncontrolled AI, as well as the addiction to social media that is already affecting our ability to concentrate. [Full review in Spanish].

a movie that's definitely the director's vision, unfiltered and that's something you don't definitely see nowadays.

One of those weird movies where the plot is all within itself and has sub themes throughout the movie . If you can keep up, great movie .

this was one of the most bonkers and reality-bending movies I've seen in a while, had no idea where it was going and it kept me engaged until the very end. I think it will one day become a cult classic and looked back on fondly, especially for the way it explores technology, AI and our algorithmic hellscape. Sam Rockwell and the rest of the cast are hilarious, it's pretty awesome this movie exists at all tbh
