Strictly average movie

From my favorite movies..

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I had seen a handful of these futuristic graphic art pieces in the past, and I was a devotee of the Sunday comics pages as a kid in ways kids today won't be. But I had no idea about this series and this artist as a whole. This was a fascinating look at the context, the pieces, and the predictions of a techno-optimist, with helpful details about the artist's life that help us place this work in its time, and in ours. I think it has messages about how we envision the future (or not), as well. I think science communication has something to learn from this. And it makes me want to find out who is today's Radebaugh and what they are envisioning. Wonderful, and I want to watch it again after I think about it some more.
