The preview of “The Social Reckoning”, the sequel to “The Social Network”, has been released.
“The Social Network” is one of the best movies released in the last 20 years. If I remember correctly, I saw it in theaters twice when I was living in Montana when it was released in 2010.

The Aaron Sorkin film chronicles the rise of Facebook and its founders, specifically Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) and Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield).

It’s about its impact on society and the controversy surrounding the popular social media site. Judging by the preview, it has the potential to be every bit as good as the original.

What do we all think of the trailer? I think this movie looks great, and it’s not because I care about Facebook one way or another. I couldn’t care less about the social media site.
I love great movies, and “The Social Network” was phenomenal on every level. It looks like it will be the same here too.
The cast is also extremely loaded. Mikey Madison, Jeremy Strong, Jeremy Allen White, Bill Burr and Billy Magnussen are all great.
