An Insult to Boredom

Rating: 1/10 (12 September 2017)

SPOILERS -
I tried to give this a good fighting chance, but it was a losing battle. This movie is slow, ponderous, self-important and an unforgivable BORE. It almost makes HEAVEN's GATE seem not so abysmal.
Amy started grating on me with all her meaningful expressions, coming off like the queen of the school play. This has become this years 'Critics Darling'; that marvel that you can't say anything negative about, or its fanboys will tell you to go watch Michael Bay.
Then it descends into "real human feelings"; sentiment, schmaltz and endless pretentious philosophizing. Go read a philosophy book to keep up with your existential angst.
A story should be written so well that it will simply contain its theme, subtext, messages; etc; without having to preach down to us like we're aliens when to comes to being human. In this case 'human' stands in for over-sensitive bleeding heart dribble.
A movie should never be a grueling bore, whatever it is preaching. Once again, "messages" mean anything that conforms to non-conformity, or Political Correctness. Was politics ever really correct? In the eyes of the politician it is.
Even its 'twist ending' is lame.
There is no real suspense, tension, intrigue, only the pretense.
And this clown is directing the BLADE RUNNER sequel.
I do have a great appreciation for intelligent movies, they don't need tons of action and overblown CGI, but this just left me not caring-the dire sign of lousy drama.
Would love seeing this MSTed.
