Critical reception
TV Guide called the film a "Strained idea cleverly carried off."[3]
gollark: Just support the football team which wins, silly.
gollark: I mean, until AV1 encoders get better and hardware ones exist.
gollark: Eternally.
gollark: That might improve, but right now only a few things have hardware *de*code for it.
gollark: Anyway, given the total lack of AV1 hardware encoders regular people can buy, it isn't a very suitable replacement for H.264, which is the most common video codec basically everywhere.
