I love Ryan Remolds, I really do. And, I like the rest of the cast. The few star cameos were a nice touch as well. But, the reality is, those appearances were a necessary distraction.

Hollywood is clearly out of original ideas. This movie is nothing more than another mash-up of previous movies. Many of the movies have already been mentioned in other comment posts here on imdb, at least most of those movies were original ideas. Ready Player One, The Truman Show, The Matrix, etc. Etc. Sad to see Hollywood's current so called "writing talent" is lost, and out of original ideas. My guess is Ryan Reynolds knows that to be true, and why he purchased a small cell phone company as an exit strategy, a way for added income.

I am a positive thinker, but, I am also a realist. When you see Hollywood resorting to producing nothing original anymore, that is a clear sign creativity in this generation lacking.

We are now seeing nothing but re-hashing of old movies, and mashups of previous original flicks from big budget companies. That is not a good sign.
