It’s not a terrible movie in its own right, the problem is that it’s based on so many ideas and themes that it’s hard not to get lost in all the clutter.
;s critiques technological advancement, AI, privacy & amp; spy programs, (experimental) operations and health, the Chinese, capitalism, rich people, modern society, and so on, and so on
The bad writing doesn’t help either, the dialogue can be silly or just plain exposition, the story jumps around wildly between characters and plot lines, and I know (or at least I think) that some of the dialogue is self-aware and doesn’t take itself seriously, which is why it was awkward, funny (the audience laughed occasionally) and genuinely entertaining.
