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!

Contrarily to the general opinion, I found this a turgid and unpleasant experience to watch; there was a single moment in the film that amused me in passing, but they ended up taking that joke and beating the dead horse so hard you could use it as a dynamo.

I think it was really good but slightly lost focus for a bit near the end. Though since it's structured as an analogy for the ADHD experience perhaps that's intentional? It does snap quite sharply back into focus again after that.

interesting that this opinion is so hated.

I agree with you, and would like to hear why people seem to consider this opinion invalid.

One reason might be that they couldnโ€™t even be bothered to say what the moment they enjoyed was.

I don't know how to do spoilers on Kbin and frankly, most of that movie is a walking spoiler alert. Without giving too much away, it had to do with an oblique reference to another movie.

People don't know what the word "turgid" means and that invalidates his entire opinion. Have you not seen how many upvotes the thesaurus comment got?
