Unpopular opinion: Prep & Landing: The Snowball Protocol is the most overrated film of the decade
Look, I wanted to love Prep & Landing: The Snowball Protocol. 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.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Prep & Landing: The Snowball Protocol?
Just got out of Prep & Landing: The Snowball Protocol and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Everyone praising the Prep & Landing: The Snowball Protocol performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
