This movie isn't going to change your life, but it isn't trying to. It's a fun story about being a good person, trying to travel from point A to point B across a landscape which would be happy to kill you in a multitude of gruesome ways. The pace of the film is steady and consistent, and every element introduced to the story adds to it in some way. In particular, I thought the suspenseful moments were executed divinely. The only part of this movie I have complaints about is the dinosaurs themselves, which don't really resemble actual dinosaurs in any meaningful way. If the dinosaurs had looked at all realistic, I think this movie could have outright passed as horror.

I wish I could give this 0 stars. This is hardly a documentary. I felt brain cells dying as I watched. I agree with the idea that social media can be dangerous in plenty of ways. That is not the bone I have to pick with this video. Rather, I felt that there wasn't really many facts given that weren't already readily available, nor were they conveyed with any more concisely. I am quite disgusted that I am being told how bad a system is... by the people who made it. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth that they all act helpless and clueless, claiming no ill intent in circumstances when there could have been no other intent. I abhor the alarmism, and the way the viewer is spoken to as though they are stupid. It is despicable that they can claim "no one knows what the truth is anymore," which is demonstrably false. They dare place blame on social media for things like a failure to address climate change... when that is directly the failure of governments, the people in power, and greed. This "documentary" uses the same scare tactics as conspiracies and propaganda, obfuscating the truth so that those involved can be lent an air of honesty they neither deserve nor possess, and be absolved of the parts they played in making you prey. I don't claim that everything in this documentary is not true. I do think social media can be as bad as it is good. I do think the practices of many social media companies are predatory and terrible. But The Social Dilemma is no more honest than those social media companies. It is vacuous, at best self-unaware or at worse intentionally disingenuous.
