Am I the only one creeped out by the CGI "young Tom Hanks" thing?? I even had a problem with Ian Holm in Alien: Romulus and he was just a torso.

I mean, the messed up thing about Alien: Romulus is that Ian Holm died in 2020.

That’s what I mean—like, did his estate give permission?? I know that was an issue with the SAG strike.

Yes I believe his estate approved it, like Peter Cushing in Rogue One

Is it over-the-top corny and melodramatic, John? The concept sounds interesting, but I'm hesitant to watch it. Zemeckis + too much sentimentalism and CGI usually isn't a great recipe.

yes, it's extremely maudlin but i liked it
