The world is uninhabitable and flooded, and everyone has fled. Except for John and his concerned boyfriend Benjamin. When Benjamin finds a radio and wants to flee, John’s utopian dream of creating a self-sustained world starts falling apart. John embarks on a destructive mission to force them to stay together.
If you were to watch it on streaming when you have nothing to do, it’s still probably a giant waste of time, but you could do far worse. Paying $18 for a movie ticket and who knows how much for concessions turns this from an exercise in boredom to an exercise in frustration.
The human experience is described through the eyes of a marginalized outsider, neither judgmental nor invested, just an observant donkey.
The Force Awakens is A New Hope 2.0, in essence. The story structure is virtually unchanged, marking a safe opening to the new trilogy.
This is a film that is going to leave some people bored, and some people thrilled.
