If this movie and other films were briefly playing in limited theatres before streaming, why don't they ever have a CinemaScore from the audience? This will most likely have several Oscar nominations like "The Irishman" another Netflix movie from a couple years ago which also didn't have a CinemaScore.

Yeah, this post credit scenes were great. Really helped me come away from the movie laughing, instead of immediately feeling darker emotions.

Amazing movie. Reminded me of Mike Judge's 'Idiocracy'.

I really enjoyed this movie too. I think it's the first Netflix movie I thoroughly enjoyed. They hit the odd TV show out of the park, but the movies are usually kind of meh. Pleasantly surprised with this one.

I just finished it.

Cast is amazing. This is first Netflix exclusive I enjoyed and the END CREDITS is the cherry on top. Gold!!!

Given that Rottentomatoes site shows 55%, I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. The performances were spot on, the satire was very blunt, but it felt like a relevant movie for our times....as a funny statement on the state of politics, media and science. That BASH Corp really gave me the creeps.....sorta like Google/Facebook/Apple all in one.

I had hard time finishing this movie, the characters were so annoying and the type of comedy was just not for me.

But it is sad to realize that in reality the World as it is right now is heading to the same dumb direction as the story of the movie.

Have to agree i did not enjoy the movie at all, turned it off multiple times and kept going back hoping it would get better which it never did.

My wife and daughter on the other hand really enjoyed it, so there you go lots of people did enjoy the flick.

This movie's only appeal was its star power of a cast. Lots of actors in the A-list. My favorite were Ariana Grande and Timothée Chalamet. My least favorite was Jonah Hill, can't stand him. However, lots of people love this wannabe actor like J. Law. LOL

^ Yeah, didn't care much for Jonah Hill here. I didn't mind J Law because she's been laying low for some time. IMO some of the humor was kinda meh, but it was the message of the movie that resonated with me. IMO if we had a non A-list cast, and more serious writing at times, the impact would have been better.

Never thought I would turn off a DiCaprio movie. Got about 45 mins in and got so bored with it, movie just felt so cringe and forced.

Enjoyed it and finished it. It can feel a bit slow especially in beginning..but I think is that our world is so crazy that this movie didn't really feel like a comedy/satire

Cast was fine, the ending was one of funniest part of the movie for me

It was ok. Impressive cast for sure but writing was just lazy at times. If anyone wants to explore a darker but also more original version of this flick, check out God Bless America: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1912398
