But can’t find which streamer has it here
Anyone know?

It says here that Disney+ has it in Ireland, or you can rent or buy it from a few other places, like Apple TV / itunes, Amazon, Rakuten or Sky Store.

Ah that explains it. Good stuff thank you pal.
I’d given up the D+ sub. Just too expensive and I wasn’t ever even watching anything on it.
I’ll rent it off one of the others.

Is there a studio movie with worse CGI than this?

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.

Some interesting ideas in this but ultimately unsatisfying. Bummer.

that's kind of the joy of following Soderbergh though, right? You know it will be somewhere between interesting and amazing, but never boring.

I don't know, this is pretty close to boring.

He's definitely had a few like that.

But, yeah, all snark aside, there are some cool ideas in it. It just doesn't work overall. At less than 90 mins, it's easy to focus on some of the cooler aspects, too. Which is good. To your point, it's hard to fault/criticize a guy who takes so many interesting swings -- or at least, it's not as much fun for me.

When I hear him talk, I get the sense he's just as interested in the business of movie making as he is in the craft. Like half the reward for him is pulling the deal together and finding the funding and distribution mechanism just to make whatever he feels like making.
