Viewing Notes

Seated in a near soldout screening for the special edition one day only event. Not thrilled about the packed audience but I’m excited to finally see this.

This was amazing. Looked like it was produced last year (until the end sequences with all the composites w/the tidal waves and such). Incredible feat to get this made and a thrilling film from the jump. Excellent actors.

All that said this falls into that category of “awesome movie but messes me up so I may never watch it again” sadly. But knowing how it plays out I would consider another viewing but let’s give it some space.
