The wife and I viewed the new Emily Watson/Tom Hanks sci-fi flick The Circle. My reaction? Meh. The central conflict was interesting; how can a company like Google abuse the data bonanza they reap to bring about a world reminiscent of 1984? And the cast was excellent. I was glad to see an old face, Karen Gillen, who played the Doctor's sidekick when David Tennet was Dr. Who.
So what's not to love? The story was predictable, some of the character's most crucial actions were unmotivated, and the story was unbalanced, in that the setup of the situation took up more of the film than the action that was being set up. I was frankly bored, and expected more from a story line by David Eggers.
