I've actually gotten a lot of flack from friends for disliking this movie. The plot is heavy handed, the symbolism is shoved down your throat "everything bagel is everything", changing languages mid sentence makes conversations hard to follow, and I personally did not identify with the cultural background.
Infinite universe removes stakes and motivation, there was no explanation for how or why we had these experiences. To drive the story, we had characters talking drastic action that made no sense, and had skills they couldn't possibly develop. The writers waived the ability to "show instead of tell" by using subversion of reality to keep the boring story engaging. Without rules and boundaries the subjection of reality served no purpose.
I eventually looked up what some of the characters represented because it won 7 Oscars, but it turns out that there was no deeper message than the delivered one and overstated political agedas that were forced in as well. Overall EEAAO was visually stunning but presented nothing of value.
