Yeah this part of the movie sucks, and it's long, and it's boring as hell. It had to be this way. How many years did they post missing children on milk cartons? Decades. We were too busy with our sports and entertainment to notice. Since then, 10's of millions of kids went missing. Raped, tortured, and killed. We had politicians and our intel agencies starting global wars where more lives were lost. Will there be casualties during this film? Yes. There were already casualties beforehand. Unless people really wake up once and for all, the cycle repeats itself. We are at war. War is messy.
Indeed it's miserably slow and boring. It's like we've been at this for lifetimes... oh wait. 🙃
