I enjoyed this. The ending was a little dissatisfying, just because it was intentionally left open ended with many possible explanations. That can be fun, but the story didn't lead me to feel strongly one way or another
Still such a great commentary on privacy and surveillance, on entertainment and spectacle, on freedom and free will, on the bubbles we live in by corporate design, on the attention economy, everything that is so relavent in 2026.
I really liked this. I like that it had normal movie parts and was also a scary movie. It felt more real and organic that way, and the normal parts weren't forced.
It's a standard "there's a scary thing in a scary place that you must go through" and there are good jump scares and good sound and stuff. But at no point did it leave me guessing or wondering what comes next.

The window of time when spy movies like this make sense is so small. 20 years earlier and none of the cool tech exists, and 20 years later (today) surveillance and spy tech is so advanced it would make this type of "on the run" story either very unrealistic or uninteresting and just dystopian.

Great movie, with a lot of great music, but there were 2 or 3 moments in the soundtrack where some shitty power chord guitar riff played? It zapped me out of the scene and did not fit at all but otherwise great sound

I'm usually not a fan of movies that feel long but this one was able to develop at a slow and natural pace in a way that made you really appreciate the characters.
This was good, but I think I'd rather just watch interstellar
This was fun
Also every race was about them intentionally crashing into the competition? Why did F1 make a movie that makes a sham of their entire sport? I'm supposed to be rooting for the guy breaking the rules at great risk to human life that should get you a permanent ban from any FIA competition, all because he's handsome? The antagonist in this story is Brad Pitt and he takes up all of the air such that there's no other characters to really like or care about.
Even better the second time through! I was able to catch some of the smaller things that I missed the first time because i was so busy reliving my own experiences through Syd.
