Just got around to watching it for the first time tonight. We had so many people tell us we’d love it and need to watch it, so it was high on our list. Great cast, and it won so many awards.
I didn’t hate it, but I was left scratching my head over all the hype. I like odd movies and books, so it’s not that I couldn’t handle the weirdness. It seemed like in the same vein as Scott Pilgrim, and if you told me it wasn’t a bit box office but got a cult following, I’d totally believe that.
My wife felt exactly the same way. Maybe it’s just one of those cases where there was too much hype for us, but I felt kind of let down.
It’s just a movie. If you don’t like it, oh well.
I waited to watch it when it came out on digital. But I hadn’t seen even a trailer for it. One of my friends saw it in theaters and loved it, and told me to go in completely blind, so that’s what I did.
It’s really cool for what it is. But it definitely has its own vibe and style. I could see why someone wouldn’t like it.
I also avoided all information about it. About the only thing I saw was that it was listed on a Lemmy post about good time travel movies, so I knew it had that element.
And I get that it’s just a movie, but this is a place to discuss movies, so that’s what I was doing.
Yup and I was also discussing it with you. Not sure why we’re explaining what we’re doing here, but ok.
