Alright, I watched it.

My theory is it’s rated a good movie because it was so obviously designed to be that way to a very specific slice of the market and at a very specific time: younger generations (and bizarrely, the boomers) of the left and at literally right now in time. They focus-grouped this script to death and threw into the story every possible thing young people today seem to like:

Dogs as your children ✅

Evil quasi Russia/Israel state ✅

Evil billionaires/tech bros ✅

Asexual complicated partner ✅

No hero allowed (collectivist mindset) ✅

There are probably more.

Could explain the divergence in opinion, the script just doesn’t subscribe to the historical context of older, or middle, generations nor middle or right leaning audiences. And it may not have been made to be enduring across time but rather to be appealing to those hyper focused on current events, maybe even those with short attention spans (ie the TikTok generation).

Quick productions, based on very current events seems to have been happening more and I wouldn’t be surprised to see even more of this with AI taking a larger role in productions.
