    Goes hard on the big screen. Sound design is a bit harsh (maybe intentionally) and it does feel a bit long, but this rewatch really cemented this as a monumental work for me. I really love how this story of evolution is communicated. The cinematography, costumes, music, and effects are all so ahead of their time. College kids were laughing at the most ridiculous times, but I was pretty immersed regardless. At least momentarily jumping Eyes Wide Shut in my Kubrick ranking, which I would also like to rewatch.

    I was pleasantly surprised with this end product. I didn't find this to be standard like the trailer made me think it would be, but I also didn't feel it was the masterpiece I heard it was in the months leading up to its release. The direction was strong and the writing kept me fairly engaged. The budget was used beautifully, with plenty of great effects and immersive sets on display. I also enjoyed the two main performances.

    A pro-trans film about dueling fast-food joints that was quite possibly a massive inspiration for Stanley Kubrick.
