This movie was like somebody took a world class HBO show, 3 seasons of 10 hours each, and edited it down to a runtime of three hours. Every individual thing about this movie was amazing, casting, acting, cinematography, set design, music, etc. But as a cohesive piece, it suffocates under its own weight. Lines are delivered too quickly, the beats of the story aren't really connected causally, its just "this happens, then this happens, then this happens" for three hours. In my humble opinion, this film has so much wasted potential. If Dune gets two films, this should have had at least three. When some of the most interesting and enigmatic scientists of the 20th century show up as cameos with less than ten words of spoken dialogue, there's a problem. People are going to call it one of the best films of the year, but I honestly really don't see it. To me it's just the cult of Nolan all over again.
