The gatekeepers are forcing one to utilise 600 characters to encapsulate this lacklustre 4th-in-a-series money grab.
They should have made this much earlier instead of leaving 20 years to do a shot-for l-shot remake with a more-or-less "blue hair." Feels like a fan fiction student film with cameos for the actual stars. There's way too much talkie-talkie to over explain and over analyse everything. The whole premise feels like you've been subjected to the same therapy season that Thomas Anderson is having to endure with The Analyst (Neil Patrick Harris).
I'm sure there's some deeper subtext to this movie but on the whole it is simply too arduous and should have spent more time in editing suite trimming some much needed bloat & pretense. Trimming the runtime down to 2 hours would have made this more palatable.
