Thankfully I had the opportunity to see this for free because it was absolutely terrible. With one of the genre's supposedly being suspense I was expecting some action or at least some thrills what I got was an hour and a half of time I could have spent better. Took forever for the plot to pick up (which took until the last 20 minutes of the film) and the ending was absolutely terrible. I am surprised that cinematic stars such as tom hanks and Emma Watson actually signed up to star in this snore fest. All I can say is I will never view this again

Two hours of my life wasted. The movie is basically 1 1/2 hours of setup of what was essentially a single premise; the tired "big, bad, evil, tech company" trope, followed by a 20 minute anti-climax with no follow-up or real conclusion. Characters weren't developed, but left as two dimensional and flat as the plot line. Disappointed that Watson and Hanks would have agreed to put their names on such a giant turd.

I read the book first, and was intrigued to watch the movie, though its scores were awful. Like the book, the movie presents ideas and an intresting premise. Sadly, the movie is all over the place and not clear in the slightest. The ending was a bigger disapointment than the one in the book. It made absolutely no sense, and atleast the book explained more. I was left confused and just hope humanity never goes this way.
