If you like cerebral sci-fi that requires patience and puzzling things out then you'll like this. If you're not the patient type, or came to the movie thinking it's some big sci-fi extravaganza then I wouldn't bother, you're not going to like this.

I think this is going to find a good audience of people who like their sci-fi a little less obvious - you really have to do the work to keep track of the subtle different timelines that can be happening at any one time, whilst they simultaneously feel like one. Amazing indie filmmaking.

And to think that just the two of them shot this on an iPhone during a covid lockdown is STILL blowing my mind. I don't even want to tell you what I managed to do during the last year but it was nothing compared to what these two have managed!

Sure, people will find fault, but what film is perfect? There's maybe things that I would like different, but when it was just the two of them at a time when nothing was open and everything was restricted, what do people expect?!

This is also a movie that needs at least more than one watch, which exactly what Ian McKellen said - and he's in it! But I think the more you watch the more you'll realise is in there and that is the mark of a great film.

I so wanted to love this. I liked it, but couldn't love it no matter how hard I tried.

I know they had problems with Singer leaving and Fletcher having to take over and I don't know how much of an impact that had, but it did feel disjointed to me.

I loved Rami Malek and honestly can't think of a better person to have done this job apart from the great man himself. It's worth it for his performance alone, but I walked out of the screening just wishing it could have been what I'd been dreaming it would be for the last few years. The music of Queen was epic and this movie should have tried to at least keep up with that sense of grandeur and magic, but it just couldn't quite do it.

Worth a watch, just don't go in with hopes too high, and maybe you'll enjoy it more than me.

I had to go to this for a work thing (don't ask), and was not overjoyed by the prospect.

But I really enjoyed it. I don't know what they were trying to achieve, maybe just entertainment and there's nothing wrong with that, and I left felling light and smiley, but if I look back at the movie now, I'm not sure I really remember much of it.

Not sure that's such a bad thing, not every movie can or has to be ground breaking or thought provoking, but I do wonder at the huge amount of dollar spent on something like this for it just to be "ok".

Maybe the kids will like it more, I'm way beyond being a kid, and if they get just a few hours of enjoyment, maybe it's worth the money.
