There really wasn't anything wrong with this film - great directing by "Top Gun: Maverick" director Joseph Kosinski, excellent cinematography, locations and sets, amazing throw-back soundtrack, and perfect casting and performances, especially Hemsworth.
But the downfall to this film, is that for the prime material it had to offer, the 106 runtime was too long, even with the fairly decent pacing. It would've been a perfect short film - almost like a Black Mirror length episode, or, it needed much more drama and conflict. There were many repetitive scenes in basically the only three rooms on set. Everything else felt like filler. It's a shame, because I did enjoy it, but I wanted more, and thus was left unsatisfied with what had much more potential to be added to the screenplay. Nevertheless, the critics went too hard on this one. It's a very deserving of at least my 7/10.
