I saw this movie with my dad today. It was fine. I give it 3 stars. The acting was good, the story was okay, there was a sad scene, there's laughter, but their is a lot of nerd talk. BTW, the make up was creepy. This movie is for nerds of all ages. It's nerd recommended. Not recommended for people who have sensitive hearing.
