The Bubble

It seems certain that they barely had a script when they started this, and they thought they would just wing it, or rewrite it during quarantine. It’s hard to imagine what it would be like sitting on a film crew, all masked up, and shooting people goofing off, pretending to exercise, and pretending to be on drugs. I guess you’d be grateful to be working during the pandemic. The flying dinosaur effects team was probably thrilled – the effects are way better than this movie deserves. Nevertheless, key members of the cast give it their all and manage to squeeze a few laughs and a few pathos out of this. It’s rarely painful, it’s just stale. It’s not really a great satire of film crews or filmmaking. The best comedy comes from the scenes of isolation, and the desperateness to, as an actor must, be showered with attention.
