In best Christopher Lloyd style, a man arrives

In best Christopher Lloyd style, a man arrives in a busy diner claiming to be from the future. He (Sam Rockwell) also claims that this is the umpteenth time he has been to the place, at the same time, trying to recruit some of the diners to join him on a quest to thwart the ultimate takeover of society by an AI whizzkid. Of course they think he’s a few bricks short of a load, but when he reveals his detonator a few take notice. He already knows whom he wants, and whom he doesn’t and so armed with a reluctant band of “volunteers” and, for the first time, “Susan” (Juno Temple) off they set on a series of adventures that must keep them out of the reaches of the police and get them into the home of the young boy. Rockwell leads this entertainingly, if at times a little over-exuberantly, and he gels well with a Temple who wouldn’t have looked out of place atop a wedding cake. As their quest takes more shape, so does the message it makes no bones about delivering, and for any still sceptical about the manner in which mankind is sleepwalking into an artificially crafted, managed and controlled existence, this serves as a sharply written and potently acerbic critique on just how easy we might be manipulated in the future by the input of one innocent and fully functional young brain and machines that can thereafter write their own rules - for themselves and for us, too. A final plaudit has to go to the unnervingly menacing Artie Wilkinson-Hunt whose sparing contribution at the denouement gives the butter-wouldn’t-melt look on his face a distinctly unpleasant aftertaste. It is a bit long, and occasionally it does lose it’s way as we whittle down the characters, video-game style, but it’s an innovative story that ought to ring alarm bells.

A solid reflective parody on our society, 7.5/10!!

Just got home from the theater and I enjoyed the hell out of this movie. I'm surprised I never saw a trailer for it. Marketing on movies has really gone down. Some things were a bit much, which is why I gave it an 8/10, I'd really give it a solid 7.5, but overall I loved the story. That might just be because I have a very low opinion of humans and technology. Odds of me seeing an email from AMC theaters is astronomically low. Throw in the odds of me actually going to the movies for something that's not a marvel project and I also had no clue what I was going to see. It almost feels like I was fated to see this movie lol. I recommend watching it, especially if you like Sam Rockwell!! Would I pay to see it again, no.

A Wacky Satire

This is a very, very wacky movie and I mean that as both praise and warning.Gore Verbinski throws a ton of satirical, very current ideas into a meat grinder and intentionally spits them back out, hoping something sticks. A lot of it actually does. The movie is extremely on-the-nose with its messaging, but it's also integral to the plot, and Verbinski makes some genuinely interesting choices with how those ideas are deployed rather than just stated.The film splits into multiple character storylines, though this approach isn't nearly as effective as what Weapons pulled off last year. Still, those threads do expand the world and shed light on a setting that's undeniably wild and unique. Some moments are so chaotic they're hard to fully process even in hindsight but I'll give it this, it's memorable in a way most studio movies aren't anymore.Sam Rockwell is the unhinged, funny, and occasionally serious rock at the center of it all. He's clearly having a blast, and the movie leans on him hard. Other performances don't quite land the same way, but that feels intentional. This isn't a movie chasing emotional depth so much as it is throwing characters into absurd situations and seeing how they survive them.My biggest gripe is the R-rating. It feels like the movie wanted to go harder with the violence but couldn't quite decide if it wanted to be lighthearted and darkly funny or fully commit to something more brutal. That hesitation holds it back a bit.Messy, loud, uneven but also creative, strange, and hard to forget. Honestly, I'll take that over safe any day.
