Spectral is now streaming on Netflix

If you liked Spectral, skip this post. My opinion isn't any better than anyone else's but I felt strongly enough to try and appeal to people to not make the mistake that I did in watching almost an hour of what could be used as torture in Guantanamo Bay.

I've never felt the need to share a review of a movie/show as urgently as I do now. As a connoisseur of sci-fi and someone who appreciates military sci-fi in particular, I'd expected this to live up to the hype I'd heard... unfortunately it was hot garbage.

If I had access to a time machine for only one trip, it would be to the moment I was going to begin this movie, tie myself up, and beat myself for the duration and then thank myself for having not exposed myself to this spectacular failure of an idea and execution.

As many have mentioned, there were decent aspects to the flick- after all, when involving a large group of professionals, someone ought to at least do a good job on accident. Nevertheless, the show was plagued by stupendously stupid writing by people who consider Ghost Hunters and Alex Jones to be exceedingly reputable venues of news and information. I can't express how painful it was to have watched over half of this torturous folly.

I'd kill myself now but I feel that it's imperative to warn the rest of humanity until I die of natural causes or succeed in destroying in evidence of this movie's existence.
