Bad film with amazing premise and mediocre execution that you can't stop thinking about? (lemmy.ml)

Oof is it bad? I was beating myself because I didn’t get to watch in on theatre because of its very short run. I was waiting for digital release to watch it.

It’s not bad, but the pacing is terrible and it’s not really the movie that the trailers made it out to be. The concept and trailer made it look like a completely different movie.

I still enjoyed it, but I’d only give it a 6/10. Robert Pattinson is quickly turning into one of my favourite actors though, he’s great in it.

For me the pacing was bad. Like they could have cut a combined 30 minutes and it would be recommendable.

I also think they left a lot unexplored with the whole concept. Like cut back on the relationship and politics stuff and focus on what it means to be Mickey/clone.

I thought it was great, premise and execution.

Yeah I liked it, thought the lead did a great job.
There was an odd disconnect between first and second part imo.

Yeh this was it - great acting by Robert, but the first half of the movie was what the trailers made us think the whole movie was going to focus on.
