Summary
A dark night. A crowded diner. A man with a detonator (Sam Rockwell) bursts in proclaiming to be from the future. 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.

Rosie Fletcher
If you only watch one movie featuring a computer-generated centaur with a cat's head that sprays glittery confetti from its undercarriage, then make it this one. Gore Verbinski's hog-wild time-travel tale is audacious, original and a massive amount of fun, even though it falls over in a confusing final act. Sam Rockwell has a blast as the revolutionary from the future trying to save the world from a nine-year-old child who is destined to invent a godlike AI that hates humans. To do so, he must recruit a team of random strangers from a diner (among them a stellar Juno Temple, Zazie Beetz, Michael Peña and Haley Lu Richardson). With Black Mirror-esque vignettes showing the diners' backstories intercut with the mission, the first two-thirds of the film are clever, funny and packed with infectious energy. Likely to draw comparisons to Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), this is intelligent but unpretentious and an unashamed good time.
