I wanted to love it...

Rating: 4/10 (24 March 2019)

After thoroughly enjoying Peele's "Get Out" I wanted "Us" to be a home-run as well; however, I cannot in my right mind give this anything higher than a 4/10.
There truly were a number of plot holes and unbelievable jumps in logic that just made the whole film fall flat, the underlying message of the movie didn't shine through, and the movie "twist" was terribly predictable. I literally walked out shaking my head and had face-palmed a couple times in the movie (particularly when the whole premise behind the plot is revealed).
The movie did have some strong framing/cinematography that I enjoyed, as well as some great music... But that just wasn't enough to make this a hit in my opinion.
