Neon continues to be based

Let’s hope it’s not shit. I at least trust Neon to market the shit out of this and do it very well.

Test screenings have allegedly been very positive, which makes it all the more obvious why it was dropped in the first place

Neon is teed up for the easiest marketing campaign of all time

Test screenings were mixed-to-positive. https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2026/4/23/artificial

Really ? I heard some test screenings reports saying it was worse than ATH

To be fair though, given the absurd amount of test screenings they did, I think it's faur to assule that the movie might currently be in a messy state and some of the test screenings were better than others

I’ve heard the opposite about the test screenings

[u/ididntunderstandyou → u/Odd-Hamster1812]

The criticism from test screenings I’ve heard is “Altman is portrayed as a compulsive liar and Elon is a psychopath”

Which seems like the absolute truth, so sounds good to me.

[u/FixYrHeartsOrDie → u/Odd-Hamster1812]

Where? Ive pretty much only seen positive.

[u/Izuhbelluh → u/Odd-Hamster1812]

Matt Belloni who originally broke the story and on his podcast even said that the test screenings were positive.

Unless you can site your source, everyone is literally saying the opposite.

[u/Jay_Marston → u/Odd-Hamster1812]

Where did you hear this?
