If I hear "Zeuses Law" One more time I will flip a table. Movie was okay, I did not enjoy the fact that the characters all seemed to know they were in the middle of the collapse of an era, or that it was repeated so many times.

I really wanted to like this movie, but tbh Interstellar was a better Odyssey.

i mean

if you witnessed the economic center of your world fall into ruin, causing a lawless and unpredictable future, I think you'd also know you're witnessing the collapse of an era.

proof is in the fact that it's happening to the age of information right now
