Release
The film received mixed reviews upon release, with a critic noting "ironically, the biggest problem with the movie is this emphasis on it being fictitious rather than real".[4]
gollark: Excellent, I have achieved second place.
gollark: SMH my head at this.

gollark: And the books I turned into plates (those are consumed normally, I know, but you usually get multiple uses out of the plates) are kind of expensive.
gollark: If so, some warning would have been nice since those cost 60 and 40 XP levels each.
