Warning: Spoilers
It is an enjoyable, but a very awkwardly made grey-goo-like film. It is rushing - many scenes are outright abrupt. It is course, and rough, and gets everywhere in crude cuts.

During the beginning that is kinda refreshing - the stuff just appears from the ground, a grandpa decides to eat it, and the next scene it is the best selling product with a giant marketing campaign. But then some awkward writing and awkward acting pile on top of that. Half the VFX are very resourceful, getting a good picture from easy solutions. The other half is kinda half-baked.

I wonder if it is possible to re-cut it to have a better flow using the existing raw footage.
