Long scenes that don't add to mood, character arc, motif, aesthetic or anything else that I would expect from a film. Mostly reticle acting, some OK. The story itself just seems to me like a bunch of bros dealing with their stupid ideas and regretting some of them, but mostly just acting like total a**holes. The rest of society seems to think that they're cool or something, and they don't seem to have very good reason to even survive in their own world, so they basically drift between intensifying chaos and doing whatever they feel like. I didn't hate the movie, but I did hate wasting more than 3 hours watching such nonsense just to get some obvious metaphors that have been drilled on any other b-movie. Not worth it.
