‘Bacon’ Is An Incomprehensible Sci-Fi Mash-Up That Thinks It’s Much More Clever Than It Actually Is
He's getting that outlaw look.

The REVIEWS for “BACON” promise a kind of the-world-is-not-what-it-seems science fiction head-turner in the vein of “The Matrix,” with an emphasis on the cultural fixation around name brands. They tantalizingly teased: What if, instead of giving you pleasure, those same brands were feeding off of you, in the most vile and sinister ways? Well, it turns out that the WORK isn’t really about that. Instead, it’s about that and a whole bunch of other stuff, with CONTENTmakers too undisciplined and untalented to either synthesize those ideas into a coherent plot nor the technical proficiency to pull it off with any kind of “well, at least it looks cool” finesse. The result isn’t just a muddled, unfocused, bloated mess
– it’s a boring muddled, unfocused, bloated mess.

The WORK begins with a screen full of the names of famous, influential thinkers, with accompanying text that says something about how they all heard voices that others could not hear, ending with a screen that says,
“All of them changed the world.”
