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!
And it was only made on a roughly $20M budget! Truly my favourite film of last year, so I’m glad it blew your expectations away!
It was fantastic! And 20 million dollars is an immense amount of money!
For a film of this scope, $20M is tiny! They manage to save quite a lot by filming the entire thing within a short window, and keeping the number of VFX shots needed to a minimum.
It was fun and creative and done on a (relative) shoestring budget. But I’m honestly shocked at the high praise and awards. For me, it was a solid 7 or 8 / 10. From the way people have been speaking about it they made it sound like it was a 10 / 10 perfect movie.
It is a movie of its time whose themes resonate with a lot of people.
It is also well acted, filled with challenging parts for a lot of the actors.
Same, what’s stranger is the volume of downvotes people receive from criticising it either here or previously at the other place.
The concepts were pretty standard multiverse stuff but they kept trying to shoehorn some kind of overly ambitious meaning into it. I found the juxtaposition between “literally anything can happen” and “family love crosses dimensions” particularly difficult to swallow.
Decent special effects on a tight budget though.
I don’t understand the praise this movie gets. Sure there are some fun gags, but overall it was just a mess that could not keep me interested.
I do like movie creators that step outside the Hollywood mold, that is how we get great movies. But this wasn’t great, it was just weird for the sake of being weird.
Yah. I didn’t understand this movie and didn’t think it was good.
Contrarily to the general opinion, I found this a turgid and unpleasant experience to watch; there was a single moment in the film that amused me in passing, but they ended up taking that joke and beating the dead horse so hard you could use it as a dynamo.
Bro ate a thesauruses huh 🤔
interesting that this opinion is so hated.
I agree with you, and would like to hear why people seem to consider this opinion invalid.
One reason might be that they couldn’t even be bothered to say what the moment they enjoyed was.
I don’t know how to do spoilers on Kbin and frankly, most of that movie is a walking spoiler alert. Without giving too much away, it had to do with an oblique reference to another movie.
People don’t know what the word “turgid” means and that invalidates his entire opinion. Have you not seen how many upvotes the thesaurus comment got?
I think it was really good but slightly lost focus for a bit near the end. Though since it’s structured as an analogy for the ADHD experience perhaps that’s intentional? It does snap quite sharply back into focus again after that.

YUP!! I was on the same boat, but it’s 100% worth the hype. It’s an absolutely incredible movie!!!
nah i watched about 50% of it and it was pretty lame - especially after the stupid forced jokes about butt anal sex. just stupid.
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.
Great movie. I enjoyed it as well!
I found it extraordinary- I’m unsure if another movie has made me feel the whole gamut of emotion like this one did, and each heartstring was tugged differently. Skillful stuff.
It was a stupid generic relationship drama with sci fi and fantasy elements thrown in haphazardly to disguise how utterly boring and mundane it was. The Actors, Artists, and Crew all did a great job, but the actual story was the same drivel every other relationship drama is.
I agree, this movie was quite brilliant and refreshing.
I said to myself wtf multiple times during the movie and the end was the biggest ‘wtf did I just watch?’
I loved it
I concur with the first part.
There was just nothing enjoyable about it for me.
The weirdness is what compelled me. Being more experimental was fun and unexpected in a lot of moments. Story wise it wasn’t so groundbreaking, but I enjoyed it in general as well.
The weird humor ruined the move for me. Especially those hotdog hands so disgusting.
Lol I loved the hell out of this movie, but this is valid. The hot dog shit was so funny but so weird. I think the daniels just got a weird sense of humor
I watched it on a long flight and started crying at the end of the movie. Glad the plane lights were off and everyone was sleeping.
Didn’t it win an Oscar as well?
Ya this post is a prime example of why “awards shows mean nothing” is a dumb take – EEAAO was an incredible movie with loads of great cast interviews, high profile reviews, analysis of themes etc that came out as a result of the oscar campaign and Best Picture win and yet OP somehow missed out on it for like a year and a half
Oh, I believe it did win an Oscar! But you know what? Awards don’t always tell the whole story. There are plenty of fantastic movies that didn’t receive awards, and on the flip side, some not-so-great films have somehow managed to snag lots of awards. So, it’s best not to put too much emphasis on awards alone! Enjoying a movie is what really matters in the end.
High-profile awards like the Oscars are not given for excellence. They are just an advertisement for a movie that the producers can buy. It says nothing about the movie other than that it was made by a big and rich studio.
Just like the best movie of all time, Suicide Squad 🥰🥰
