The film was captivating and very native to Edgar Wright's playful form of filmmaking. It was well cast and there was particularly one moment in the film that truly had me in awe (there is an initial introduction to the alternate world that Ellie experiences). The set and wardrobe design felt authentic and grand all in the same beat.
However, after about halfway through the parallel story, it started to lose itself (similar to the main character). What started as a sophisticated weave turned into a tangled knot, leaving many setups in the main plot line without a conclusion and it ultimately lead to a typical big budget ending. Feel free to take the ride if you're ok to forget about it once it's over.
