Spoiler-free summary.
I thought Get Out was overrated, but at least that had a plot that somewhat made sense. "Us" is enjoyable, has decent action and suspense, but the story is just so, so, so, so, so, so, so dumb.
Please don't try to convince yourself it's smart and that "it makes sense" when it doesn't. Don't listen to the sheep. Make your own opinions. You're allowed to like it, but you can't justify the plot. Use your brains.
Spoilers now.

It would've been ok if the "tethered/shadow people" whatever were like some supernatural thing or ritual thing maybe, but clones? By scientists? What scientists? When? How were they tethered?
But that wasn't the worst thing. The movie tried to insult my intelligence by adding the twist that Lilith Nyongo was the clone the WHOLE TIME.
How exactly is she the clone if she isn't a freak of nature like the other ones? Why doesn't she talk like she smokes 5 packs a die like the other clone-lady?
I saw the damn "Hands Across America" thing from a mile away, too.
"Get Out" was way overrated, but compared to this it's almost "smart". Which it's NOT.
If "Get Out" is a 6 or 7, then "Us" is a decent to strong 3, maybe a 4 on a good day. When I'm feeling stupid.
