I started watching "Everything Everywhere All at Once" because of its overwhelmingly positive reviews. Initially, the film piqued my interest and appeared promising. However, around the midway point-specifically during the hot dog scene-my attention waned completely, and I resorted to assembling flat-pack furniture while still keeping an eye on the screen, hoping for an uptick in engagement. Unfortunately, that moment never came.
Although there were fleeting moments that reminded me of "The Matrix," these were quickly lost. I'm baffled by the film's high ratings and can't help but feel that maybe they stem from a sense of sunk cost, compelling viewers to recommend a movie they spent over two hours watching so that others feel the same pain of wasting two hours of their life.
One review even suggested that this film is what "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" should have been. I find myself questioning if we watched the same movie. For those seeking a coherent sci-fi film with sensible plotlines, impressive special effects, and substantial action, this might not be your cup of tea.
As for the film's genre-whether it's a parody, satire, or just plain bonkers-I'd argue it's a mix of all three. Overall, the movie was a letdown, and it has led me to question the reliability of popular movie rating systems.
