Reception
The film was poorly received critically and commercially.[1]
gollark: Maybe I should collate my arbitrary musings on society into a blog post
gollark: And that our computing infrastructure is growing more and more capable and yet more convoluted and poorly designed.
gollark: And that building things is slow and expensive in most countries for no apparent reason.
gollark: I don't mean just that stuff like global climate change mitigation hasn't happened, I mean that every product ever involves incredibly complex supply chains and can't really not have that.
gollark: The unfortunate situation of our time is that we need giant large-scale coordination to do anything, but all large-scale coordination inevitably fails in some way or another.
