- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
2.0
2 - wholly unforgettable. This wasn’t thrilling, it wasn’t even that intriguing.
There was no character development that made me actually interested in any of the Stillwater Seven. I wasn’t sad for the death, I wasn’t worried about any of them surviving, and I wasn’t excited at the end to see the main 2 get together. Everything was tied in a little bow at the end, but it wasn’t unsatisfying.
The trolley problem was described at length multiple times, and then summarized multiple other times, as if the audience was too dumb to understand one of the most used queries of philosophy. And then it all didn’t really matter in the end.
