    I fell asleep during the movie. I was quite a few drinks in though.

    It's about alien elephant hand monsters that talk with squid ink.

    Rotten tomatoes score is 93. They're dumb. Snooze fest.

    My thought on the ending:

    I like the movie, but the whole "time" concept is getting old. This time (pun intended) it is like a palindrome, Hannah. Not to mention, the concept of love (Amy Adams has the child despite knowing the future to experience the good times despite the bad). Again, liked the movie but wanted a different ending as it seemed like Interstellar's ending and theme. Absolutely loved that movie until the last act.[/spoiler}

    Can someone please force Forest Whitaker into retirement? He's the has-been that never was... yet somehow, decades later, he's still being cast in movies like this and Rogue One. Ugh.

    He definitely was. Last King Of Scotland is unreal, and The Crying Game is a masterpiece.
