I did like the short field of depth effect, the blurry parts.
It was both visually interesting and entertaining.

This movie gave me a Suicide Squad feel to it, I guess because the characters want money in an area full of zombies, it really is a suicide mission.

Dude….You can definitely tell Tig Notaro was not in the original filming. It looks really really bad in some scenes.

Why would the casino owner cover the model of the casino in a sheet? Seems unnecessary.

I don’t know I may b over analysing or just trying to justify a so called plot hole which was brought up by a lot of critics, abt how u can’t fly on but u can fly out. Here me out here guys I just got my own theory: Right now there are lockdowns going on everywhere at least here in India coz our politicians screwed up the entire handling of the pandemic, did multiple scams and ran out of oxygen, icu beds, medicines etc. And now we have also ran out of vaccines, all in all we r screwed, anyways coming back just before the lock down is imposed, some cities/ towns/ districts are divided into zones and there are restrictions for people entering certain zones with or without vehicle but if u want to exit ur allowed as ur no more their problem, so I am assuming this may b t case which they failed to mention or was cut out of the movie.
It’s just my opinion pls don’t bash me guys

People are such assholes. This guy makes very entertaining movies with actual good story telling. Does he have his plot holes? Of course but even Spielberg has his moments

Backstage at Zara Larsson’s Viral Lollapalooza Show | Soundcheck | Vogue

LAVISHLY DEMURE

An exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how Zara Larsson prepares for her viral Lollapalooza performance. As the Swedish pop star gets ready for one of her biggest gigs yet, a show-stopping concert at Chicago’s iconic Lollapalooza music festival, she gives us an intimate look at her day. We begin eight hours before showtime in Zara’s hotel room, where she does vocal warm-ups, eats breakfast, and reminisces about the last time she played Lollapalooza, ten years ago. Once she arrives at the festival grounds, Zara gets into glam, drawing inspiration from a colorful, sea-dwelling crawfish. After spending time in hair and makeup, she heads backstage for a few final rehearsals with her dancers before taking the stage.
