Love Me
Im a little torn with this one. Starting with what I disliked, I really hated the use of the meta verse. There definitely could've been a more interesting way to go about showing that portion of the story. However everything else is really beautiful. I love the core concept of two non sentient beings trying to understand life and being. Grappling with what makes their existences unique and who they are. It's very compelling and I believe the way the Internet was used was extremely creative. This entire movie is super creative, I mean it's a love story between a buoy and a Satellite. Aside from the metaverse everything about this movie is visually stunning, like I'm talking straight up breath taking.
Casting is probably this movies biggest strength. Steven and Kristen play their roles to perfection. Whoever the casting director was honestly deserves a raise. They propel the material to heights it honestly wouldn't nearly achieve without them. It's visual storytelling as well was mostly really well done, again I have to dock points for the metaverse in the room.
Overall I really enjoyed this one, it would've been an 8 if the metaverse wasn't so prominent here. I absolutely loved the character work, acting, and non metaverse visuals.
