This was a strange reintroduction to my favorite activity. The lobby of the AMC on the Boston Common was devoid of people, save for a friendly security guard and an equally friendly woman behind plexiglass—there to give masks to customers who needed one. But there were no customers to give them to.

But all that belabored sturm und drang was ultimately in service of an anticlimax. The movie that’s made its way to theaters is mildly engaging but mostly inert, a wan sizzle reel for an idea rather than the idea made manifest.
