Did a search and didn't see a topic devoted to this, otherwise I would have bumped it.
Watched it last night on HBO. Man, a lot going on in this. Makes fun of all sides, and no one comes across as a being The Voice of Reason.
It's pretty divisive because of the subject matter, but if you can divorce yourself from your own viewpoint, it was a pretty dadgum good movie, and strong commentary. Wasn't what I was expecting based off the trailers, though.
The third act goes off the rails a good bit, but I really enjoyed it. I'll be chewing on it for a while. Curious others' thoughts.

It was a little too “on the nose” for me and it’s overly long. It started off decent but like you said kinda goes off the rails the last 3rd. I think Ari Aster has lost his way a bit after Midsommar with Beau is Afraid and eddington both receiving mixed reviews. Although I have not seen Beau is Afraid.

I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would and I actually enjoyed the third act. Gave me No Country for Old Men vibes.

I enjoyed this movie a lot. I can agree the 3rd act isn't for everyone, or the movie for that matter, but I loved it. I've watched it 3 times & think it requires multiple viewings.

Chalk me up as an Aster devotee.
I think Beau is Afraid and Eddington - while both are structurally a little unwieldy - are both seminal works from a young master.

I thought it was a great film.
Yeah thats difficult for a lot of people but is kinda a requirement when you are watching someone elses story.

I really tried
Got about 30 minutes into it and it was such a dumb rehash of 2020 and the nightmare that was and how stupid the response of it was in the grand scheme of
How little threat it actually was

That's certainly part of the point of the movie. We spent a long time arguing and hashing out how to stop the spread and all that BS. But the only true danger was still based around how we all treated each other.

I thought it was gonna be woke bs so i skipped the premiere but i watched it at home and loved it. Yes the third act is crazy but it was phenomenal overall.

My favorite movie of 2025. I thought the ending was a hoot.
