It’s a shame about the game’s uninspiring name and generic box art. Probably kept a lot of people from playing it. I only played it on a recommendation like yours.

Lemme tell you, it’s mostly not for 7 years olds. It’s more so for those who grew up in the 80s and 90s.

Aside from who it’s for, it is genuinely a very fun and funny movie. It’s impressive that it was produced given some of the swings it takes, and while not all of its messaging sticks the landing, it does a good job raising questions about modern masculinity, and women’s role in that world.

I was also underwhelmed by the execution of the Trinity test specifically. I know they relied on solely practical effects, so it’s not realistic that they would match the awe of the actual test footage.

It didn’t leave with the same existential dread like other relevant media has in the past.
