My experience was going from "what's going on" and the occasional giggle, to "ok that's a cool idea" to i can't stand this anymore.

It's an unnecessarily overly complex movie to convey a very simple idea. I get the appeal of the stylistic choices and the creativity involved, but it's not my cup of tea. It looks good and promising on the first 30 minutes, but after that it's actually more and more painful to watch and not funny anymore.

Speaking about the creativity, i never thought I'd say this ever, but it's too much. Just too silly, too ridiculous and off putting. Like the people behind it did everything they could to do something they deem "original", very forcefully, in a very unnatural way.

In a way, it kind of reminds me of Tenet by Christopher Nolan, which was much better than this one, but still has that extra degree of complexity just for the sake of trying to be original. It doesn't work in that film either. A good example where this was done flawlessly is The Matrix.

I'd say this movie is the representation of the exact theme the movie tries to present a solution to, Nihilism. The world is so devoid of values, people are so confused, original work and ideas are thrown out the window in Hollywood in favour of money-making dumbed down movies, they don't know what else to make to be original, the desperation is very clear when they awarded this the Oscar for best picture.

I will never forget this movie, but will try to, and will never revisit it again. Not worth the watch not even to satisfy curiosity. Skip it entirely.
