Major disappointment. There is important information in this film that is well worth hearing. But the majority of the film is all these weird AI visuals and audio that bridge the gaps between tidbits of actually interesting and useful soundbites from the interviewees.

The editing was very gimmicky and annoying and I believe they’re using lots of AI for the imaging and that is frustrating. The people they interviewed are great but don’t get enough time to speak

"Buy Now" is ipnotizing
One of the most thoughtful video I've seen in a while. You should watch it.
The story is told in a way it can be seen with the right eyes. It clearly
shows how the people behind the movie are neat in their fight against the
"system" (I know, bloated word but yeah, let's call it that way).
It makes sure to grab your attention, in the way you're used to,
when you scroll and you see a "Buy Now" button and bunch of bright
colors. Not by keep you looking at just a sad, insanely rich footage of
dumpsters accumulating waste every second. No, they make it so nice and tidy,
yet somewhat twisted, even picturing and visualizing the data about how many
smartphones are produced every day, by making it pop out of the streets in
computer graphic. So yeah, it's cool, you're watching. And then they
say something insane like "yes, I worked ad Amazon for years, I know what
I'm saying and they fired me. this is where we are". And there you're not
just watching. You're listening. And you see the truth. Naked. You see
all the things you've been ignoring without even knowing, and you're
not just called to action, you're really called to think deeply about
what you care about and why. Because that's what you're doing, no
matter how anesthetized you are. And if by any chance you feel like
you're now, while watching the documentary, out there opening the
Truman Show's door, keep that door open, you're waking up, don't fall back asleep.
And don't be scared. You can stay by the door if you don't feel like
diving through it. It's ok. Just keep it open because
it's there, and you should watch it for what it is, realize the world
you're into and fix things up while you're awake.

I can’t believe they were able to get such great people to interview, and then came out with THIS. There is nothing new here. Not only that, but the format is verybfrustrating. They needed to take all of the time spent on weird graphics/music/knock-off Alexa narrating, and put it into coming up with some intelegent questions to ask a panel of people who had the potential to be very very intresting.

Maps together the production and post consumption connections in an effort to show the reality of marketing and manipulation , and exponential increases in over production and waste. It takes a while to get to the impact of waste piles, microplastics, and other toxins on our environment. Maybe starting with this might have helped with engagement.

There isn't much in it that surprises, and some of the testimonies may be viewed as retaliation from disgruntled former bigco employees, but the material is attention-grabbing, from those testimonies to the CGI.
