Amazingly, I was still disappointed.
The concept had me hooked.
The problem is the people you are watching for most of the movie aren’t likable or interesting.
It’s the kind of family that you would make up any series of excuses to avoid.

This is also the only people in this house you’d like to talk to).
There is no subtlety in the script.
The movie does use de-aging technology throughout which wasn’t well received.
I thought it looked fine and wasn’t that distracting.
I’m also someone who didn’t mind when they used it in The Irishman.
Well, except for the grocery kicking scene.
One thing that was ridiculous was Tom Hanks when he was supposed to be 18.
He sounded like a 60 year old man.
But that’s just one of many ridiculous things in this.
A wedding happens in that living room!
Someone is born in that living room!

It’s beyond disappointing how bad of a filmmaker Robert Zemeckis has become.
The same guy who co-wrote and directed Back To The Future and directed Cast Away THIS?
Instead of spending quieter moments with these people, Zemeckis has every moment be a milestone.
At the theater I was at, people were openly laughing at the wildly dramatic scenes.
At this point, Zemeckis clearly cares more about some innovative technology than telling a story.
With Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
and Death Becomes Her, he was able to showoff a new tech and still tell a good story.
This movie took what could have been a cool concept and made it a greeting card.
