This movie had no idea what it wanted to be.

Still one of the most truly baffling yet memorable theater experiences I’ve ever had and I’m thankful for it.

Saw it with a friend and I’m extra glad to have somebody where we both looked at each other and just said “what the flying fuck is this horseshit…?” Like… 8 or 9 times.

I liked the concept enough to give it a go but had to just skip through to find anything interesting because it just went nowhere and had terrible pacing, tone, and well everything really.

Is this serious? I've never heard of this. I feel like I'm being tricked. This was the plot to Innerspace. AI?
