Rainn Wilson is one of those rare actors who, in a parallel universe, might have been able to snag a lot more roles, and to establish a stronger following for his considerable talents. In this universe, however, he struggles to keep up with a terrible script and a production which never gels. Creator (writer/director) Chris Leone seems to think his script is a lot funnier than it actually is. That is not a great start. A story about a burnt-out employee in the current economic environment is not great timing either. And although newcomer Aimee Carrero tries hard, she still has to struggle with the same weak dialog everyone else gets. To see all this done correctly, check out THE PITT. Not recommended.

The original was smart. This is smart-R. One of my favorite titles is FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLFMAN, 1943, because, towards the end, just as the protagonist is about to fully de-electrify Frankie, he changes his mind, and decides to bring the monster up to full power. To see his its real capacity. Chaos naturally ensues. Unhinged, right? M3gan is like that too. You always want to see what she will do next. One of my fave lines of dialog in the original is that, when an adult tries to reason with the AI, explaining that dismembering people is possibly a disproportionate reaction, M3gan quickly replies "Big Whup," and gets on with her agenda. This film is under-rated and unappreciated. The only major flaw is that the first few minutes promise an entirely different movie, and fans would like to see that one too.

In an accredited facility! The foregoing was a public service announcement. What follows is the review.
Hello, this is DD, Devourer of Media, here to discuss FF2025. Checks all the boxes but remains non-traditional, specially given the way Marvel, much like Galacticus himself, has been eating its own library lately. Instead of the usual over-the-top slurry of inside jokes and callbacks, we get a script so intelligent it could have been an original Star Trek episode, and still seemed right at home. Pascal has come a long way from "Button" in Open Range. Humanistic. Recommended. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
