Here's another movie that needs explaining. Why Clooney, why? I wanted to love this movie as much as Interstellar but it's far too cryptic to get the first time around. I hate when that happens, especially when there are so many opportunities to show and tell during so many great scenes.
Again, this is one of those films, especially with its opening where audiences fail to connect with these characters because of a lack of better scenes that clearly and emotionally reveal what's going on before the film gets going. All the moving parts are there but without an emotional connection at the outset, most of the film seems meaningless. See for yourself.
