This is from the director of the great film, Columbus.

Hoping to find Columbus on a streamer so I don’t have to rent it.

This new one looks good

On Showtime this Friday? Wow. Finally saw Columbus a few weeks ago.

Figured it would be later this year on the new one.

Maybe a little slow but I liked it

Maybe I was conditioned to expect a "R" rating and something more darker

Check it out on Showtime

This was beautiful. And my favorite kind of Sci Fi. It's the best film Terrence Malick never made. The tone felt like a cross between "Tree of Life" and "Ex Machina". With a little "Her" and "A.I." thrown in. I'm leaning towards my highest rating (5 out of 5), but need to think about it more.

I was underwhelmed by this. It’s a good movie but not great. Seemed like there needed to be more going on.

For only 90 minutes, it is sloooooooow.

Might revisit it again down the road. I also thought Terrence Malick Lite Beer when I saw this.
