B-Grade Black Mirror Episode, Stretched to Feature-Length

Rating: 2/10 (24 March 2019)

"Us" felt like an idea for an hour long Black Mirror episode unnecessarily stretched into a 2-hour snore-fest. It started out promisingly, with nice cinematography and some decent atmosphere. But as soon as the cards were on the table, it took a nose dive that lasted for 3/4 of the running time. The more exposition it provided, the less sense it made and the more eager to leave the cinema I became. The ending only made things worse. The whole thing felt like a B-movie you'd scroll past on Netflix, not a major theatrical release. How this is receiving rave reviews from critics is beyond me. Terrible.
