bladesparkIt was an interesting concept and some solid storytelling, wrapped in a saccharine candy-coating of exaggerated feels, with a dusting of dubious science, and drenched in a sauce of mush-brained pseudo-philosophy, all of which could have been cut by at least 20% and probably would have kept my attention quite a bit better.
I do generally recommend it, but science nerds are going to get some eye-rolling in, and they really do try way too hard to make the audience cry sometimes. The plotline had legit feels that belonged there, but it just kept shoving them into our faces instead of just letting them happen.
Also, I really hope they were trying for the 2001 homage, otherwise it'd be kind of unoriginal in places...
Anyway, overall score: enjoyable, but it could have been great if it had been a little better done.
