I've gone my whole life without watching this and I really should have kept it that way. Look, I enjoy a good mystery. Puzzles. I think comparisons are dumb, but I enjoy National Treasure and not just for the memes and the ridiculousness of it, but I think it's a well-done movie. I even find enjoyment from weird biblical and pseudo-biblical junk in other stories. So I thought this would be a slam dunk. But it's really just 2.5 hours of my life I won't get back. Felt like 5 hours. There are some dumb plot holes that take me out of it. The big twist can be seen an hour or more before it happens. A lot of things happen that do not make sense, all the main characters are mega-genius's or conveniently extra-smart for plot reasons. It all comes together like a trainwreck and makes for a terrible viewing experience. It gets a 3/10 from me for the fact that I survived the entire runtime, contains a few good ideas, and presented some laughably good moments to poke fun of, but I really don't recommend watching it.
