I just don't understand all the hype around this movie. Social media influencers pushing this movie ecerywhere as "scary AF". First off.. it had a good start that got me intrigued, but it was so slow, and had you hanging into suspense waiting for something to happen, and it was just meh. I can put partial blame on the overall editing here. They needed more story line with scenes ending in a payoff vs. Lots of suspense, weird music, and disjointed story telling. Acting wasn't good, and has confusing characters. The opening sequences are the best with very little good after.

I do agree with others... these 8+ reviews on here are totally planted.

The beginning really kicks off with old school vibes. The music, production quality, tons of easter eggs paying homage to the original first 2.... so good! This one falls in line after Alien, but before Aliens. Where it fell flat was in character development. You don't really care about any of them other than the android. Therefore, you're not invested if they really live or die. Then, the last 30 minutes... they went for shock value, but it just seemed like it didn't cohesive. It's like they all of a sudden changed the plot. It doesn't fit with the others either. Otherwise, solid, entertaining watch at the theater!

I love a good history movie with complexities, but this isn't it. After hearing all great things about this movie, I was pretty excited to see it. I think the editing and producing is to blame here. It felt disjointed and somewhat sloppy to me. I understand the movie has a lot of story to cram in, and it doesn't feel slow by any means, but it still couldn't keep my attention even at a fast pace. Another reason why I typically don't trust Oscar movies. Acting is great, but that can't help how it was put together in the end. The story could've been told in a much better way than this. Not sure Nolan would be making these kind of movies. He should stick to his typical "brand".
