This movie sucked. It was all over the place. Seemed distracted with setup a sequal instead of giving a good movie.
It's actually a quite well crafted movie, that breaks with expectations. Which of course is always controversial.
What you thought was distracting was what, the first 4 min, and last 90sec? Does that really distract from the 100 min in between? Does it really set up a sequel? The first part is quick a reminder how the movie's world came to be the way it is. The last is simply a payoff to what was set up at the beginning. "Oh yah you probably forgot about that thing. Well, here it is again. Have a good one."
The last 90 setup the sequel. You pointlessly setup a group that was backround teased and the nothing "blood bag." No point.
The second to last "twist" that was just dropped off with no explantation or even how it happened. Pointless.
It felt like Ten cloverfield lane. Two movies smashed together but instead of a sharp cut in tone. It was a jagged, whiplash sequence.
When the movie is so bad that even people who don’t make videos about movie reviews feel the need to complain about a product so devoid of quality and clearly just another cash grab for some CEO, you know it’s bad…

People are far more passionate about complaining, than praising. It doesn't surprise me that a random non movie reviewer made a video about a movie they didn't like. It doesn't indicate anything about the actual quality of a movie, only their opinion of it.
