Hologram for the king

[ric]

after work the other day went in and saw this movie cause I was in the movie watching mood right? totally on a whim. expected mostly garbage to be honest but at the same time trusted the hanks factor that it would be at least substantial in some ways.

was surprisingly good if a little milque toasty at times. the music was fucking bomb. really great if understated score and music. the Eggers influence is clear but it doesn't feel stupid or pretentious or something which is nice.

better than the book?

no idea. I don't read Eggers on principle
