No nuance and characters are saying the obvious stuff, because viewers are looking at another device while watching. We’re so cooked.

    The last two movies are pure ass. Who is the bad guy? So AI or something?? I’ve already forgotten it was dumb as hell.

    There are dumb fun movies, and then there are just dumb movies.

      The “Entity” which is a rogue AI that seemingly knows everything everywhere. And Benji is afraid to answer the most basic fucking personal questions when a nuclear bomb is threatening to detonate. Like, he’s never been good under pressure but Jesus man.

      This nuke is also threatening to destroy both halves of the mcguffin that the AI also needs. It just makes no fucking sense.

      Actually I wonder if an AI wrote the script. That actually would explain quite a bit.

        Seems like they should just make a movie that is only him doing dangerous stunts.
