I thought of seeing it last week because it is at the nearby theater.
But I'm not a big Affleck fan either and was more interested in seeing
what Carrie Coon does in the film because she kinda stole the show on
HBO's The Leftovers. It'll probably be available before Xmas on BD
rental. Amazon is being a bit slimy on the listed by showing Watch
Now and it's the trailer and the opportunity to pre-order it streaming
or disc.

If you can manage to do what I did -- see this movie without spoilers,

E-ticket ride.
My hat is off first to novel and screenplay author Gillian Flynn, who
managed to actually come up with an original idea...that's a real
rarity these days. Next hat-tip is to David Fincher, for bringing it
to the screen effectively, and in such a way that you almost feel as
if you're watching a succession of short movies rather than just one
long one. You start in one plot reality, and then twenty minutes later
you're in another, and then another, all the way through. Fincher did
that with Se7en and Fight Club, of course, but it's just as
effective a technique here.
Ben Affleck always tends to leave me feeling Meh! about his
performances, and did so again in this movie, but that may be purely a
preference thang on my part. He just doesn't do it for me, but I can
see how people who like him will love him in this role.
So it's really Rosamund Pike's movie. She drops into the ever-changing
reality of this plot like she was born to it. Whoever she is called
upon by the script to be in that moment, that's who she is. She never
telegraphs anything from any of the other realities or points of
view. I think she won herself a Best Acting Oscar in this movie.
I liked it. I'm thinking of going to see it tonight in an actual
theater, instead of rewatching the small-screen DVD-quality screener
version I saw earlier. Coming from a pirate, that's a pretty high
recommendation for a movie, :-)
Here's a trailer, and a pretty good one because it manages to give
away almost nothing.
