So, I just watched this movie. I felt compelled mainly due to the Obamas being executive producers. Like custom2006 said above: predictive programming.

Highly recommend it for a number of reasons. I also won’t spoil it for others right now, but I will say this:

Near the end, look at the very noticeable date on the sticker on the car windshield. It is quite large:

12-22

Interesting.

If I read that right the Obama's were the producers, so that would be a big loud NO. on the movie. I don't care if they were giving gold tickets.

They got all my money for 8 years think that is enough.

I was absolutely not going to watch it for that exact reason. However, I was intrigued enough by that fact. It became obvious to at least me that they were foreshadowing. They are blatantly telling us what’s coming. And… I really like Sam Esmail. He produced/directed “Mr Robot” which is my all time favorite tv series.

I think it goes along with how they want the world to be. "You will have no money and you will be happy". This may be the way the great reset is implemented.

I watched it this morning. It was okay. A bit slow moving for me and Clay drove me nuts. A lot of vagueness but touched lightly on several " if the shit hits the fan scenario". I did not get the pink flamingos nor the deer showing up in droves. A bit strange. Got the Teslas all crashing. It was some entertainment for me. Not sure I took anything of value away.

I would describe the movie as suspenseful from the beginning, all the way to the tremendously abrupt ending when the credits began rolling.
The continuous build-up of suspense is the only thing that kept me watching.
With each build of suspense, when you're wondering what's about to happen.... nothing happens. Then they change their sights to a new line of suspense with an equally disappointing respite.

Many questions are raised, none with answers.
What's with the deer? What's with the flamingos? What kind of bug bit him? Is that what caused his reaction, or was it the 'sound'?, What was that sound anyway? Does the rest of the family locate and join the girl?

I felt it really dragged on and on, and could have easily been a much shorter movie.
Take out the dozen or so 'F'bombs and it could be a family movie.
Nothing of substance, or should I say, there was nothing to learn and put to practical use.

The story line should read "On day one of a cyber attack that leads to the worlds end, a 13 year old girl goes on a quest to watch the last episode of "Friends"."
