I was literally googling it during the movie. Just the first of many irks.

Would love your honest opinion if you agree with my criticism of the film after you see it. Enjoy!

I saw it tonight and review it here. I have mixed feelings about Kanguva . Interesting premise but not always the best narrative execution.

Casual reminder that the Telugu language Indian scifi epic KALKI 2898 AD was one of this past weekend’s five highest grossing movies at the US box office, so why not read or re-read my review? www.rogerebert.com/reviews/kalk...
