High 6, low 7.
Seth MacFarlane stars in this signature MacFarlane comedy. It's a mix of Family Guy style comedy, some Airplane! Styled jokes, and a Ted styled cast. It's almost cerebrally funny, but doesn't feel quite as funny as any of Seth's other works. Not that you need to be intelligent to understand the jokes, more so that some of the jokes work on paper and just don't quite stick the landing. I'm not quite sure why.
Cast is phenomenal. Seth MacFarlane is great, Liam Neeson, Charlize Theron, all the side characters, fantastic. Movie has a story, it's not special. Movie has jokes, they're solid jokes. Overall it's not the worst comedy, but it wasn't spectacular. It does have funny or entertaining clips so you can get most of the enjoyment via YouTube.

It's a fun little movie on the remote viewing programs by the CIA / US Military. Cast is great, Ewan McGregor, George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, all with tuned-in performances.
There's funny moments. The court scene, the various references to Jedi / Star Wars with Ewan McGregor learning about that stuff.
I especially appreciate the opening text "More of this is true than you would believe" which I think is exactly how movies that loosely base themselves on real events should be presented. Not like that misleading "true story" stuff from Fargo.
Overall, it's a good movie. Fun watch IF you have the context of remote viewing in mind before watching. If not, the movie may feel a little out of place, lacking context, or disjointed (not unlike this poorly written review)
