If there is any movie that deserves no spoilers, for the love of god and by the grace of allah, it is this one.

Holy fuck what a film.

That’s all that I will say other than …

Tap for spoilerI can’t think of another film that leaves the big reveal until the FUCKING END CREDITS

    I mean, sure yeah I guess you could interpret it that way. Although I also felt that it really hit on

    spoilerHow "addicted" our society / system is to fossil fuels, and that it's the life blood of our economic system, and no matter how much we might want to stop pumping oil we cannot help ourselves. But, come to think of it, without a critique of capitalism, that rings kind of holly doesn't it.

    In any event, though, I thought it was a great film.

    I thought it captured the feeling of cratering towards a catastrophe that is somehow an inevitable force of history, but also completely a result of specific decisions by specific people.

    semi-spoilerI also liked the disorienting half-real/half-meta atmosphere

    Politically it was flawed/shallow in some ways, but it made a better attempt than most
