I really can’t decide; there’s some built in momentum because OMG MY CHILDHOOD among zoomers and such but it also feels bleak and deflated and is chasing a weary gimmick.

I agree with everyone’s assessment it will probably be profitable (ranging from slim to hugely) and have no cultural impact most likely.
I do think there is a slim golden path like possibility where it’s actually bizarrely fun and ends up a camp classic, against all expectations.
Kind of like every “remember this thing from your childhood? DAE think nostaligia so good?!” movie that has come out in the last decade. They’re always the safest they can possibly be, focus tested into being as unchallenging and inoffensive as possible so they are an “enjoyable” experience that moviegoers forget 5 minutes after seeing it.
