Criterion Challenge 2026: Watch a film 2.0 to 2.9 stars
So not everything in the criterion collection is perfect. Lesson learned. The explosions and map effects were cool and I really dug the vaporizing. HOWEVER, the models were incredibly cheesy, the plot and subplots were half-baked, and every character said idiotic things with the most serious gravitas. I guess it was a 1950s B-movie, what else can you ask for?
