Make sure not to underestimate the brilliance of 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' as it proves to be an exceptional movie! - eviltoast

You’ve got to see Everything Everywhere All at Once - it’s an awesome movie! I used to avoid it, thinking it was just another sci-fi film that got popular in theaters, but boy, was I mistaken. The story is really well-crafted, the visuals are stunning, the acting is top-notch, and it even tugs at your heartstrings unexpectedly. I watched it last night and was blown away. Seriously, don’t make the same mistake I did. Go ahead and give it a watch. I’d easily rate it 8.5/10, heck, maybe even a 9!

    I felt the same way, that this was another overhyped Hollywood circle jerk, but it was pretty good. At a surface level the story isn’t anything amazing. The action sequences were good but nothing revolutionary. For me it was the acting and the core of the story, which to me was about relationships, making the best of your choices, and kindness to others and yourself. For some reason the kindness part really hit me. How they represented it was cheesy as hell, but that didn’t stop me from taking that to heart.

      I’m mostly in agreement but the end ruined it for me. I’m sorry, people with that much trauma just don’t react that way. There was “change” for a short period of time (positivity) but that doesn’t undo the past.

      It’s hard to say what I’m trying to without spoilers.

        True, but at that point I suspended my disbelief. Hollywood movie needs Hollywood ending.
