Not a waste of time but not worth a second watch
This movie started very slowly and was immediately clockable as super tropey. The actors do a good job but they're not believable high schoolers in the slightest. Cinematography was good, but the shots did feel a bit stale. It felt very heartstoppery but without the cute music, animation, and casting. The dialogue also felt a bit out of touch, but the storyline was ok once you get over already knowing what'll happen (pattern recognition). The ending is what I have the most problems with, felt completely unfinished. The first hour was soooo long and the ending so rushed. I'm not asking for another RW&RB but the plot leaves a lot up to question. I think this could have been a great movie but it's just ok.
