A couple days after watching it and I'm still thinking about it's ending and the characters in the film.
While it might sound odd, I enjoyed that the movie actually focused more on the human actors rather than the AI despite being a sci-fi movie with plenty of opportunity to slather the whole thing in CGI.
The movie in a nutshell: dude gets assigned to conduct a Turing test on another dude's AI.
I thought it was predictable and even a little boring.

Montage of Heck - 8/10 - major nostalgia trip, and painfully candid at times (i.e. watching Kurt Cobain nodding off high on heroin while holding his baby). Impressed how the story was told as if we didn't know the ending, rather than just being aimed at his eventual suicide like some Greek tragedy

shame they didn't get Dave Grohl's contribution in time though

Monster University 7/10

A movie with a deeper narrative that really touches upon the ethical considerations of.... err, no, it's just a silly Pixar movie. It's a prequel to Monsters Inc, so if you enjoyed that, you'll enjoy this one as well.

Same here. It's the first time in years I've felt that way about a movie.

I was looking for the score and realized it was composed by Junkie XL. Completely took me by surprise

Yes

Also Focus is terrible, like all Will Smith movies.

That really is a lesson in how to make an action movie

Well fucking played !. I might give a proper write up at some point but I was impressed by how he can tell a story with so little dialogue, which obviously has a lot in common with the original series and I thought Fury Road went a little further.

I have some niggling criticisms, but really the good far outweighs the bad. Film of the year so far ?
