I love this movie. I had to rewatch it like 3 days after the first view so I could feel it in completely.

It's the same time a great, time traveling adventure, with a bonkers plot, comedy, and some truly insane sci-fi concepts, but, most importantly, it's about love, caring about the most important people in our lives, the tiny moments, that make up our most memorable memory, and, at the end of the day... depression.

Joy is depressed, she's overwhelmed, she's lost, and for most of the movie, the most important person in her life, her mom, doesn't seem to even care, or even acknowledge her presence sometimes. It's imo, an allegory for how we are constantly splitting our focus in a dozen different stuff nowadays, tying to be everywhere, but ending up been nowhere. She is stressed, and out of her mind, that she doesn't even realize what her daughter is going through. And, in a metaphorical way, she needs a interdimensional being to cross the multiverse, for her to finalize realize, she's losing her kid and to help her.

Of course, she doesn't do it alone, and, in figure of the father, Waymond, she learns that, she has to stopping fighting people, stop trying to change people, and actually, just be kind and give your love to the ones who need it, however they might need.

So, this movie is great, I loved it, as you might have noticed. It's so smart, funny, and out of the box completely with its concept, it's breaking of the fourth wall of sorts, and playing with the audience expectations a little bit too. Everyone is great in it, specially Stephanie Hsu and Key Huy Quan, who have to play multiple versions, completely different, from the same character, and they nail every single one of them. Michelle Yeoh is also really solid here, with by far the best performance I have seen from her.

Anyways, I love how it shines a light on mental health. And, at the end of the day the message is that the world is crazy, and most days, it probably doesn't make much sense, but... so what? We should enjoy the moments that do make sense, and share the found memories we have with our love ones.

To sum up, Everything Everywhere All At Once, is a great movie, with a complex story, with some serious underlining themes going on, if you want to see it, but at the same time, manages to be a crazy, and innovative movie about multiverses, with great action scenes, production value, and creative. Loved it, and highly recommend watching it. I would sum it up as Pixar movie, but in live action, and that, for me, it's one of the highest complements I could give a movie.

I will be short on this one, I really enjoyed the movie. The actors are all so charismatic (I really liked. Scobell's performance, and I'm excited to see him as the new Percy Jackson!), the story it's a fun sci-fi adventure, but at the same time deals a lot with family trauma, and has some emotional scenes, mostly when characters are able to some what correct errors of the past, or have a second shot with a loved one.

Overall tho, yes, one could nitpick the plot to death mostly likely, it's hard to do a plot holesses time travel movie, but I respect that the movie doesn't even try to explain certain paradox that the time travel element would have created, so I wont go into those details, I respect if you think that makes the movie worst, but at the end of the day I had fun, and I was okay with ignoring some stuff.

The CGI to de-age the main villain is... rough tho, I mean, Jesus, that took me out of the movie every time. I rather go the route of taking a younger actress and having make up on her in the future scenes, and herself as the past version, than doing this...

Still, I really enjoyed the movie, the action scenes are great, Ryan Reynolds is, as always, really funny (and we even got a Deadpool reference I guess? "Superhero landing", which was cool), the movie has a good pace that doesn't make you look away at any point, and a good satisfying conclusion. Really really solid.
