A dark night. A crowded diner. A man with a detonator bursts in, proclaiming to be from the future. This is the 117th time he’s returned with the same imperative. Before time runs out, he must recruit a group of distinctly unqualified diner patrons (Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chaudhry, and Juno Temple) to stop the impending AI apocalypse and save humanity from the perils of social media. The problem? Everything is stacked against them – from skeptical strangers and brain-rotted teenagers, to algorithmic monstrosities beyond their control. But if this unlikely group can pull it off, the world might just turn out okay…. Or not, I dunno!

If you’re in the mood for something absurdly funny and grotesquely twisted, this is it! Picture this: a film teeming with weirdness, backed by stunning production values. The cinematography is so good that it almost distracts you from all the comically absurd chaos on screen.
Of course, I can’t talk about this mess of hilarity without mentioning the irreplaceable Sam Rockwell. His stellar performance intertwines perfectly with the rest of the cast, who all dive headfirst into the comedic gore. It’s as if they’ve made a pact to see just how bizarre it can get—and trust me, it gets bizarre!
The real question that looms like an awkward punchline is: will they ever get it right and save the world before it’s too late? This movie delivers a relentless stream of action, leaving you guessing around every bloody corner. As the storyline twists and turns, you can’t help but expect surprises at every juncture, making it a truly unpredictable dark comedy experience.
Buckle up for the absurd adventure, and prepare to be entertained from start to finish—after all, in this universe, anything can happen, especially when it involves hilariously grotesque antics!
