I really liked this, but there are a few glitches that could bother people.
First, we are to believe that Dory quit his job, burned his bridges, and... is a janitor now? This sort of could be an "Easy Rider" moment, but instead we shift from sharp social commentary into a party-like janitor SF film. And then, outside of some quirky "religious" details, we end up knowing absolutely nothing about Dory's personal homelife, etc. It's one thing to overlook the other characters, but Dory is the lead! Come on!
From there, the quirky SF janitor party movie is light and fun. Well done, despite the excessive visual effects.
In the end, I definitely enjoyed it. The characters were individual enough, and the acting decent. It's just a shame they didn't dig deeper into the social commentary; it's there for sure, but never feels fully formed or defined.
