  Hangouts was so close to perfect before they blew it all up.

  Now I’m using a mix of Chat and Voice and it’s terrible for everyone. Voice doesn’t even support RCS from what I can tell, and all my messages with iPhone users are full of reactions. It’s so annoying. I’ve had the same Google Voice number for over a decade, why is this so frustrating.

  I used A-List so it was free and I still felt ripped off.

  My feelings toward the movie started strong and only dropped from there. My wife wanted to leave halfway but I hoped it would stick the landing. It only got worse from there and by the end I was rolling my eyes and laughing (not loudly) at how terrible it all became. It just kept going and it thought so highly of itself the whole time. The title cards felt so ridiculous in retrospect.

  My wife and I saw the early screening last night in IMAX. The visuals live up to the hype, but honestly we were both very disappointed with… everything else. The story was as generic as it seemed in the trailers, and it goes on way longer than it should. The acting was fine, I guess. The actors put in work, they just didn’t have anything good to work with.

  Everything that happens simply happens to serve the plot, not the characters. No one ever acts like a normal person, they are all just rote movie characters like it’s paint-by-numbers. And the editing is atrocious. There’s a lot of off-screen exposition, like they had to fill in story gaps. Similarly, scenes will just kinda end. Characters get into a predicament that seems impossible to escape? Cut away! Explain what happened? Nah, just keep moving cause we’ve got plot points we have to hit, and fast cause the audience certainly already knows where this is all heading anyway.

  I love supporting original sci-fi in theaters, but this is just an unoriginal, bad movie imo.
