Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

It's What's Inside (2024)

The day before one of them is getting married, a group of college friends reunite for the first time in almost a decade. One of them -- the black sheep who made good in tech -- has brought along a machine that allows the consciousness of each person connected to the machine via electrode to jump into the body of another participant. After the initial shock, the group enjoys the experience and starts playing a "guess who's in whom" game.

There's absolutely no question that this is a terrific premise, but the camerawork keeps shoving story out of the way to say "look how fast I can spin! see how quick I can cut! pay attention to all of my tricks!" I was disoriented and had a hard time keeping things straight. Really too bad because I liked what was underneath the effects.
