Boring
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
More of a collection of social scenario skits, reminiscent of Portlandia, than a coherent story.
It is basically a very realistic look at how things would happen. The director has a choice of scenes from the general story he's aiming at. And it is the slow realism that makes the scenes funny as well as connectable. If you can't connect with it in depth, you won't like it. I watched it in theater once and at home once and the feel was totally different in the two cases. The vision of the movie seems conflicted and confused at times. But I guess it is because the director is not working towards a plot, but showing society which is probably mostly just as confused. I liked the scenes a lot.
The biggest fall of today's humanity is in the fact that you can put it in a little flat square. All around, outside the square, every day, you have a lot of opportunities for compassion, for empathy, to communicate, to touch each other in some way. But, instead of being human, we chose to build the square of empty words, cold videos, full of lies about ourselves, full of excuses. We hide ourselves in the herd of survivors who are desperately trying not to be expelled. What is the cost? Where is the limit of our passivity? Where is the switch? The animals are more human, than humans will ever be, and we should not be allowed to use word: animal, for our evil actions. We are lost in our artistic jungle of civilization achievements. What did we really achieve? Be brave and ask yourself: where is my heart, what have I done, why the square is an empty and death symbol of everything? Then you can watch the film.
Someone got disappointed with IMDB community for rating this movie above 1. How about developing a healthy respect for people whose opinions differ from our own? When we do not understand someone's perspective often times what they say sometimes sounds a bit 'bizarre' to us. A person interprets things according to individual perspective, biases and sensitivities. So, except of couple of scenes, which I "didn't get", I enjoyed watching this movie.
