I want to like this movie so bad. I mean, the premise is fantastic, and I think it really nail on the satirical end for the allienation generated by a hip CEO, the need for "sharing" and "being social", the end of privacy and the use of personal/private data to benefit a company. They also set The Circle as this creepy company that swears it does it all to make the world a better place, but it's obviously shady and dangerous.

The problem is the way it's written. It's terrible. It feels so shallow, like it's a great story and we only get to see a portion of it. Emma Watson's acting was on point, but the character had her doing this crazy eyes. She goes from mildly concerned to lunatic about the company's visions in apparently no-time, like she was brainwashed or something, and then she becomes a robot. John Boyega's characted could have been soooo much more explored, as well as the tech, the implications of the tech, the world's views on The Circle's plans... It just has so many holes. We don't even get to see what Bailey and Stenton had on them, and what the company became. The end of this movie was one of the most unfulfilling I have ever seen. But then again, the idea is so good. Somebody redo this, please!
