The script for GATAO: Big Brothers feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. GATAO: Big Brothers knows its audience.

Unpopular opinion: GATAO: Big Brothers is the most overrated film of the decade
Just got out of GATAO: Big Brothers and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in GATAO: Big Brothers?
Look, I wanted to love GATAO: Big Brothers. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Hot Take: GATAO: Big Brothers's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched GATAO: Big Brothers last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
