I liked this movie. I only saw it once, but it's the kind of movie that I bet has lots of little details to find in a rewatch after you know what's going on.
Normally I'm not the kind of person who gets mad about people making dumb decisions in movies, but this one took the cake for me:

After they discover they're in fracturing parallel universes, and everyone agrees that these universes diverge based on random outcomes, the software developer says they need to create a random ID to identify their home universe. You fool, that just created a billion new universes, you're never getting home.
I think the audience and the protagonist both know that's an absurdly bad idea, but nobody tries to stop them and everyone else goes along with it. It might be bad writing, the software dev might just be an idiot, or maybe it's an allegory for how big tech is ruining our lives but we don't try to stop it because at least they're trying something and the grift sounds convincing. But gosh, I wanted to yell at the screen during that scene.
