This was insubstantial but fun. I think it'll be entertaining if you go into it with the right expectations.
There aren't deep layers of plot - if you think you know where a point is going, you're right. Not much is twisty or surprising. Some of the characters are endearing, while others are rather thinly drawn, and it suffers from Smurfette Principle. But it's a silly romp with some fun action scenes and goofy gags.
Sometimes it seems like Meyer is trying to worldbuild very carefully and follow those rules, but other times it feels like a significant question gets glossed over. Chief among them is “you discovered the source code of the universe and your ambitions are basically limited to avoiding arrest and LARPing?” But I had to get over that. That's the setup - don't fight the hypothetical, just go along for the ride.
