Has anyone seen EEAAO?

...Everything Everywhere All At Once? If so, your thoughts?

I lost interest after about 20 minutes. I'm not sure I understood the gimmicks and special effects.

I lasted about a half hour. It just didn't hold my interest.

@MamaWick - We watched it when DS was home. I didn't want to, but he really wanted to see it. I found it hard to follow, but I did understand the underlying family dynamic, especially the mother-daughter one.

I thought a lot of the movie was just hectic.

Michelle's performance was amazing. She carried the movie IMO.

I was happy Jamie Lee got the supporting actress award. But I also think she was awarded for more than just her performance. Stephanie Hsu did an amazing job as the daughter. She has a long successful career ahead of her.

@MamaWick I did NOT like it at all. The basic story (if you could follow it) was okay. There is a message about life and how things turn out, etc. The acting was good as was the special effects.

However, it was a lot of random violence and reminded me of a video game. Lots of kung foo fighting and at almost two hours of it (yes I sat through the whole thing) I found myself getting anxious. This is not how I like to feel watching a movie....at least what appeared to be nonsense. There were vulgar images thrown in too and it seemed as if was written to appeal to a juvenile audience.

Let us know your thoughts on it if you decide to watch.

Yes, and really enjoyed it!

I haven't but am curious as to what it's about after watching Oscars last night.

It was on TV recently, I watched all of 15 mins. To much flicking around - to much of everything all at once ....

@Sooner...the explanation was in the comment box

I read about this movie and it doesn't sound interesting. A definite pass. Just because a movie won best picture doesn't mean it's good.

Sooner, I don't understand what you mean by EIEIONO. I tried looking it up but couldn't find anything relating to this thread. Maybe someone can explain what that is all about?

@teganslaw. It was an Old MacDonald's take on my EEAAO...EIEIO

The ads were a total turnoff. Just looked like it was a bunch of random weirdness with no storyline whatsoever. If that is incorrect, then the ad people need to do better. Lately. it just seems that's the trend for movie ads though. I want to have some idea of the storyline before I plunk my money down.

it's on Showtime right now for those of you who have it. I turned it off about half way through. It was so extra, extra. I thought I'd go back to it the following night and finish but honestly I have no desire to watch the rest of it. I know we're all supposed to fall over each other about what a cinematic masterpiece it is, but it's like a bad acid trip. 😂

I'm planning to watch it this weekend. I'm happy for Jamie Lee and Michelle, but especially happy for Ke Huy Quan. I did not realize this until later, but he played the young boy in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. It must've been a magical moment for him to be reunited with Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw at the Oscars!

I lasted a half hour. Couldn't follow it at all.
I did watch the entire film "Banshees of Inisherin" and I can say I don't understand the hype for this one either. I think I'm just getting too old. Reminds me of a piece of modern art consisting of a solid orange canvas and people rave about it and its value is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. I just don't get it.

NO, and I don't plan to. I know a few people who watched it for less than a half hour. I can't believe it won so many awards. Hollywood should ALWAYS be referred to as "HOLLYWEIRD."
