Emma Watson is Mae, a new (Guppy) employee at the high tech company, The Circle. As an information/surveillance company, the Circle is always watching its Circlers. When Mae gets into a tight spot, the Circle helps her out. As a result, she agrees with Eamon (Tom Hanks), Circle's founder, to be a guinea pig for a new experiment.
While billed as a thriller, with a harbinger of doom from Ty (John Boyega), it falls a bit flat. We know there is something at the center of the Circle, but it's hard to find out. As a result, the drama never quite gets there.
Maybe we'd need to read the book first. But the movie didn't make me want to rush to get it.
Good cinematography with the campus setting of the Circle. Reminded me of Epic. Maybe all that medical info that Epic is gathering will make it the next Circle. It could happen!
