Kenneth Francis

Goodness knows what kind of thinking people have given this movie a 5 star rating, it’s beyond me. This movie should be placed into the nearest trash can and forgotten about. How do these guys get away with producing such cheesy, spine cringing crap. It makes me wonder what I could have achieved had I had a career in cinema and I certainly would not have been party to making this awful picture.

I really enjoy science fiction films. However Everything Everywhere All at Once did not do it for me. To me the film was all over the place. It started with a story line that was plausible introducing the viewer to alternative universes that mirrored the lives of people that had made different choices and showed how their lives turned out in these alternative universes. It also developed the concept of being able to “jump” or “switch” from one life in one universe to another life in another universe. Now this could have been developed much more as the main story line. But then we were introduced to a Jackie Chan style high octane kung foo fighting spell which dominated and almost obscured the prime story line - which I never figured out. Then the film developed into a love story between the two central characters, a mother and her daughter. Don’t wish to be too critical. My eldest son thought the film was good. But he was coming from a different universe to me as he loves to read and explore information about the subconscious mind and how LSD can give some people an unforgettable beautiful enlightening experience. And I think he saw some of that in the film and could relate to it. I’m not saying the film is a substitute tripping on LSD but I think it could be.
