It seems like most people who watched it didn't like it, it got pretty bad reviews and social media is full of people making fun of specific scenes

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

i had to bail on this. i may try it again when i'm in a different mood, but it wasn't grabbing me. All its attempts at surrealism and style felt like some film school grad just cribbing from other movies. It was pissing me off.

You should watch it on the cinema for the correct experience. Like Avatar.
