I definitely normally like weird fantasy movies and EEAAO was a deeply moving experience for me. I think you have to see that's it's not a sci-fi movie. It's a family drama that just happens to wear sci-fi clothing. And it's one of the best written family drama scripts in recent memory.
I also appreciated the message that nihilism is almost the easy way out. Optimism requires effort.
Really, it's a film about family
I probably don’t care that much for family drama, so that just detracted from the fantasy experience for me? I liked several elements of it, but as a whole it was a noisy experience.
It’s funny that a movie is so divisive.
Eh, anything that becomes popular becomes divisive. Because it becomes popular to love it and also popular to hate it.
I’m really just speaking for myself. It had some interesting elements. It was ok to watch on the first play through. I’m quite surprised by all the official accolade of how great the film is.
And I thought it deserved every bit of the accolades haha. But that's fine. We like what we like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
