I don't have much of an opinion either way about the film itself, if only because I'm not tied to any of the actors, much of the story involved, the actual service that outpopulates the entire nation of the United States of America itself (of which I am not a part of - the former, not the latter) and partially, some of the music therein; the screenwriters, well, no one ever acknowledges them (and I'll be no different).

I'm thinking that the best basis for stronger opinions to shed light on what we may expect is from those that have read "Ben Mezrich’s bestselling Facebook bio, The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook - A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal", of which it is stated that this film is more or less (I really have no idea) a direct adaptation of, and for, the purpose of cinema broadcasting.

The only thing that has me really surprised about this entire thing is the subtle, and then, the not-so-subtle, media marketing that has accompanied this film. It wasn't until about a month ago that I learned this was actually going to premiere this October, but I've been seeing and reading hintings of this project since March or April, and then they just gradually became stronger and stronger, up until yesterday (or early this morning) when the newest trailer was released, along with the background vocalists, that reminded me I better share the news of this film, before it's officially too late to share that "new wonder-thinga-ma-jik". I decided (after a few months of the above few links and articles burning a hole in my notes) that it was best I share it now, in anticipation of what others might feel this could turn out to become.
