Don't be in a huge rush to see it. It's good simply due to it having a different storyline than most other movies. I don't like sci-fi, so I may not be the best judge of the movie. Fairly entertaining, but it leaves a lot of unanswered questions.
I liked Instant Family with Mark Wahlberg a lot better. I've heard good things about The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, a Coen Brothers movie, which is also on Netflix. I'll watch that in the next day or two.

The best thing I've watched in a long, long time is a netflix series called The Last Kingdom. 26 episodes and I binge watched it. Not something I do very often.
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs was excellent. It’s a series of short stories set in the Old West. Like most Coen Brothers they’re a little edgy and it might get lost on certain audiences, but I enjoyed it.
I’ve binge watched Black List over my Christmas break. I’ve enjoyed that as well. I go on and off the treadmill while I watch so I don’t completely become a vegetable.
One of Netfix’s new original programs. It’s a sci-fi thriller starring Sandra Bullock. It’s broken every Netflix record for viewership in its first seven days with 45 million streams. I haven’t watched yet but every time I flip through my News app there’s an article about it. It’s all over social media as well. I’m not a fan of horror sci-fi so I haven’t been in a hurry to watch it, but I’m in the minority evidently...

Netflix is also experimenting with a new format where the viewer can choose different formats, music, and endings while watching as well. The Black Mirror series (think modern day Twilight Zone) just released a new episode called Bandersnatch. This is what an article I read says about the show. I haven’t watched this either...
“The show starts by asking viewers to make a series of mundane choices for Butler, played by Dunkirk's Fionn Whitehead, such as which cereal to have for breakfast or which music to listen to on the bus.
Yet each choice sets off a chain of events that escalates and laters sees the audience presented with grimmer quandaries, such as selecting a method to corpse disposal.
The decisions lead to one of five possible endings and the entire running length of the episode, who took over a month to shoot, is thought to be around five hours long.
The British creator of the Emmy-award winning series, Charlie Brooker, described the process of writing the episode to Wired magazine as “a bit like making a giant patchwork quilt.”
He added: “It's the only thing I've ever worked on where the story treatment crashed [like a computer]”.
The episode takes around an hour and a half to play out but viewers will be allowed to cycle back if and start again if they are unhappy with the way their plot choices are planning out.”

The hype has set an unfair standard.
It's an entertaining 2 hours in a vacuum. But it won't live up to the hype that is surrounding it for some reason.
If not for my sister watching it with her girls over our weekend visit, I would not have heard of it and we have Netflix. She claimed it was really intense and she couldn't hardly fall asleep after watching it.
